A Fair, Flexible, Zero-Waste Digital Electricity Market
EnergyOS
This conversation explores the thinking behind a fundamentally different electricity-market architecture: one designed around digital infrastructure, distributed assets, network constraints and fairness, rather than continually adding new mechanisms around a legacy market. The discussion connects Shaun Sweeney's PhD research with the wider Enleashed mission to ask a more fundamental question: if we were designing an electricity market today using modern computing, communications and control technology, would we design anything resembling the market we currently have?
Why this conversation matters
The energy transition is usually discussed in terms of adding renewable generation, storage, electric vehicles and flexibility to the existing electricity system. Enleashed starts from a different premise: the market architecture itself may need to change. This conversation provides an accessible introduction to that argument and to the research behind Enleashed's first mission.
