PowerDime, an energy finance company, revealed the development of a tokenized renewable energy trading platform built on the Chintai layer-1 blockchain network. The platform is geared toward institutional investors seeking yield and renewable energy projects looking for financing options.
The platform will feature tokenized virtual power purchase agreements — fixed-price financial contracts for electricity — and provide investors with periodic cash flows. Josh Gordon, managing director at Chintai, told Cointelegraph:
<blockquote>
 "By harnessing the power of blockchain, we're turning renewable energy into more than a commitment — it's now an investment opportunity. By tokenizing traditionally illiquid contracts, we're giving institutional investors the tools to drive a sustainable future while earning real financial returns."
</blockquote>
Gordon also said the platform currently covers wind and solar energy, with plans to expand the renewable energy offerings in the future. The platform is available in the United States, the United Kingdom, and select parts of the Asia-Pacific region, with plans to expand to other jurisdictions over time.
