Power Ledger has purchased a 250kW PV system from Perdaman Advanced Energy to launch our latest product, PPA Vision. The energy data management, billing and settlement system will be used as part of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement to provide greater visibility on renewable energy sold to a consumer.

The asset will also use Power Ledger’s environmental attributes product to automate the issuance and tokenization of large scale generation certificates.

Generators can customize the energy tracking and trading software to suit the regulatory requirements of governments, local councils and businesses to assist them in reaching their renewable energy targets.
