Los Angeles hosts world’s largest blockchain-enabled advanced energy community

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded a $9 million grant to the Energy Coalition, Community Electricity, and a consortium of energy partners to support disadvantaged communities in Los Angeles through the implementation of innovative technologies. The CEC is providing the grant through its Electric Programme Investment Charge (EPIC) Programme, which supports clean energy research in California. The Basset-Avocado Advanced Energy Community (BAAEC) project is expected to give rise to the perfect formula to design a feasible community-scale decarbonisation strategy.
