On March 8th, Energo Labs from Shanghai, China, and First Gen, one of the Philippines' largest clean energy producers, hosted a blockchain + new energy workshop at the University of De La Salle in Manila, Philippines, which can accommodate nearly 100 people. The event was packed. Combined with Energo's demonstration of the campus microgrid project at the University of De La Salle, the teachers and students fully experienced the revolutionary power of the blockchain to the new energy industry and the impact and opportunities brought by the application of blockchain to the social environment and climate change. This is the first time Energo has officially announced the details of the first successful blockchain microgrid project.
De La Salle University Blockchain + New Energy Project Workshop
Energo's project is built around the microgrid of the De La Salle campus. By using the decentralized nature of the blockchain, users in the building and the building can directly conduct Peer to Peer power transactions to ensure the supply and consumption of the building's electricity. Has been in a balanced and organic working state. At the same time, using the distributed ledger nature of the blockchain, the energy metering system also effectively records a series of transactions that occur and the security of data storage.

Energo Labs, an international company dedicated to transforming the new energy industry through blockchain technology, donated an affordable 10 kW solar hardware system to the University of De La Salle. This hardware system accelerates the production of clean energy on campus. In the next 20-year work cycle, the University of De La Salle will save up to 1.8 million Philippine pesos. At the same time, this system also promotes De La Salle University as one of the best green campuses in the world.

As one of the largest clean energy producers in the Philippines, First Gen provides 100% clean energy to De La Salle University by providing electricity support from the local grid and Energo's solar hardware and software systems.
Mr. Aloysius Santos, Vice President of First Gen, also attended the workshop. “First Gen, one of the largest clean energy producers in the Philippines, is hoping to deliver clean energy while also delivering deeper value for life,†he said. “Examples of microgrid projects launched with Energo Labs. Through this project, we hope to show the revolutionary subversive power of innovative technology for the teachers and students of De La Salle University, and to promote the creative and outstanding vision of college students, spontaneously invested in the blockchain industry. â€

Dr. Marco S. Saez, associate director of the Institute of Academic Research at the University of De La Salle, said, “We are fortunate to work with Energo Labs and First Gen to advance this project and become the first in the Philippines to apply blockchain to the microgrid. At the same time, such epoch-making blockchain projects are constantly flooding into the campus, and it is bound to subvert students' perceptions and understanding of technology changing the environment."
The campus microgrid project is also grateful to the support of many participants. De La Salle University School of Engineering and Computer Science participated in the site management and post-production research; Huawei donated PV inverters to the project, Brills MarkeTIng supplied solar inverters, and Netsolar supplied and installed solar panels for the entire The smooth operation of the project provides hardware support.
By providing De La Salle University with a clean energy source that is below market price and continuously optimizing the campus's energy usage, this microgrid project provides an economical green energy solution for how to ensure grid stability.

At the end of the workshop, Kelvin Cheng, the vice president of products at Energo Labs, used the Energo's self-designed energy trading app to capture the peer-to-peer energy trading method in the future microgrid through a small game of bidding for electricity.

The success of the Dessau University microgrid project has laid a solid foundation for Energo Labs to continue to promote blockchain new energy projects and education in the Philippines and throughout Asia.
At present, Energo's international partners not only have international organizations dedicated to delivering clean energy to more regions, such as CLEAN Energy Access Network, India's largest decentralized energy organization, Power for All, Global Clean Electrification Alliance, Alliance for Rural ElectrificaTIon; there are also utilities and companies that are committed to using the blockchain to innovate new energy sources. In the future, Energo will also accelerate the technological transformation of clean energy in the international arena. In addition to the micro-grid projects in the Philippines, it is also paving the way for many projects in India, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea. Energo Labs combines the distributed nature of blockchain technology with the microgrid to lay the nearest power supply and autonomously in remote areas. At the same time, it also combines the decentralization of the blockchain with hardware such as solar cells and energy storage. Accelerate the power reform in off-grid areas, so that clean electricity can benefit more residents in remote areas at an early date.
