4. Decreasing motivation to feed-in in Germany
More self-consumption
Less production & feed-in
Reduced positive impact
on network & climate

Assumption
Consumers are willing to
pay a higher price for
renewable energy provided
by local producers.

7. Feed-in of producer Anna is blockchainified
Her smart meter measures the feed-in supply and
publishes it to the blockchain
Anna feeds in and receives usual feed-in remuneration
Anna monitors stats of her
contributed energy on her mobile
Producer
Anna

8. Consumer Tom supports a local grid
Tom consumes the energy of his energy provider as usual
He donates a monetary supplement to the local grid
in form of cryptocurrency
His supplement is transferred to a pay-in address
managed by the local grids smart contract
Consumer
Tom

9. The smart contract of a local grid
The smart contract distributes the total pay-in of the consumers in proportion
to the provided energy to the payout addresses of the producers
contract LocalGrid {
struct Producer {
address addr;
uint amount; // produced KWh since last payout
}
mapping (uint => Producer) producers;
...
address public balance;
uint public nextPayoutTime;
uint public donationPeriodInDays = 30;
...
function addConsumerDonation(uint amount) { ... }
function receiveProduction(uint producerId, uint amount) { ... }
function payout() { ... }
}

10. Consumers
• Contribution to
climate protection
