链向翻译：区块链公司LO3与EPEX SPOT建立了合作关系，旨在推动能源转型

区块链能源公司LO3与法国电力贸易公司EPEX SPOT建立了合作关系，将当地电力微电网与更广泛的市场联系起来。

两家机构周二表示，签署了一份协议，承诺设法通过区块链平台将当地能源市场与大型电力网络连接起来。

EPEX SPOT是一家位于法国的电力贸易公司，业务范围覆盖德国、英国、荷兰、比利时、奥地利、瑞士和卢森堡。 该公司允许每个国家的用户互相购买或出售多余的电力。

该公司董事长Jean-Francois Conil-Lacoste在新闻发布会上表示，能源面临“前所未有的挑战”。

他补充到：“在这个行业革命中，需要借助创新的数字行业服务于市场，并推动能源转型。”

LO3将在社区微电网上部署技术，比如在总部纽约布鲁克林市开发的技术，而EPEX SPOT将利用其国际电力交易基础设施来创造更广泛的可用资源。

从本质上讲，消费者将能够从邻居或陌生人那里购买或者出售多余的能源。LO3已经在为此开发一个名为Exergy的平台来促进当地的交易。

此外，两个公司也旨在帮助太阳能电池板所有者将多余的能源销售回电网，并储存在两个集团运营的电池中，而消费者可以在需要的时候购买这些多余的能源。

LO3首席执行官兼创始人劳伦斯·奥西尼（Lawrence Orsini）表示，此次合作“将成为电力市场中最具影响力的技术应用之一”。

Blockchain startup LO3 Energy has scored a partnership with the European Power Exchange, known as EPEX SPOT, to link local electric microgrids to broader wholesale markets.

The two organizations said Tuesday that they signed a memorandum of understanding committing themselves to finding ways to connect local energy markets to larger power networks using a blockchain-based platform.

EPEX SPOT is a power trading company based in France and covering Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. It allows users in each country to buy or sell excess power to each other.

The company's chairman, Jean-Francois Conil-Lacoste, said in a press release that the energy business faces challenges of "unprecedented dimension."

He continued:

“Innovative digital solutions are needed to further serve the market in this industry revolution and to drive forward the energy transition.”

LO3 will deploy its technology on community microgrids, such as the one it helped developed in its headquarters city of Brooklyn, N.Y., while EPEX SPOT will leverage its international power trading infrastructure to create a broader source of availability.

Essentially, consumers will be able to buy and sell surplus energy from neighbors or faraway strangers. LO3 has already been working on this, developing a platform called Exergy to facilitate local trades.

Among other trades, the partnership aims to help solar panel owners sell their excess energy back to the grid to be stored in batteries operated by the two groups, while consumers can purchase this excess energy during times of need.

LO3 CEO and founder Lawrence Orsini said the partnership "will represent one of the most disruptive applications of technologies in the power markets."
