UrbanChain has partnered with Low Carbon Hub to connect community-owned renewable generation directly with local energy consumers through its renewable energy operating system. The collaboration removes intermediaries from the supply chain.
In the short term, under a new two-year agreement, the partnership will focus on integrating Low Carbon Hub’s generation portfolio into UrbanChain’s renewable energy operating system, enabling transparent trading and stronger returns for local projects.
Low Carbon Hub also has the option to establish its own private energy market.
Low Carbon Hub’s renewable energy portfolio includes 56 renewable installations across Oxfordshire totalling 24.3 MW, supported by 72kW of battery storage.
Together, these projects have generated 24.19GWh of green electricity, and funded 48 whole house plans, 98 energy assessments, and the publication of CAPZero, a report on achieving net zero in the region.
Tim Jones, Renewables Portfolio Director, Low Carbon Hub, added: “At Low Carbon Hub, we’ve spent more than a decade building a strong portfolio of community energy projects, creating clean energy to the benefit of the local community. Partnering with UrbanChain allows us to take that vision even further by directly linking our renewable generation to local consumers.”
