UrbanChain has joined a pioneering initiative aimed at delivering affordable renewable energy to low-income households across the UK. The project brings together energy innovators, housing associations, and community organisations to explore how peer-to-peer energy trading can reduce bills for those most affected by the cost-of-living crisis, while simultaneously supporting the transition to clean power. UrbanChain’s platform will play a central role in connecting local renewable generators with participating households, ensuring that the benefits of green energy are accessible to all, not just those who can afford premium tariffs. The initiative underscores UrbanChain’s commitment to building a fairer, more inclusive energy system.
