In Part Two of our ERCOT Series looking at what went wrong and what needs to happen moving forward – we welcome Evan Caron, founder of Clear Trace and HGP Storage and one of the brightest minds in renewable energy to share his thoughts. And making a return to the … The post The Green Insider – Ep. 26 – ERCOT Series Pt. 2 – Evan Caron & Ken Donohoo appeared first on eRENEWABLE.
This episode will be different to the Tactical Tuesdays and long-form Thursday episodes we always publish. This is a mini episode if you will. Sometimes we do this on Fridays or other days, when we have a guest that has extraordinary information that we want to share with you and it's timely, but doesn't fit in our normal production schedule. If you are a Texas resident or if you've been watching what's happening in Texas, you should know by now that there is a crisis in ERCOT. There's a crisis in the electricity markets as well as a humanitarian crisis right now as a result of hard snowstorms. And since I'm not in Texas, but I have friends down there, I called on just such a friend, Mr. Evan Caron. He's an Austin resident, who is an energy trader and really deeply understands this market. So if you have been trying to figure it out, understand what the heck is happening in that market, we are here to give you some answers. Remember you can always find the resources and learn more about today’s guest, recommendations, book links and more than 340 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.

We all know we need to accelerate the transition to renewable sources of energy. But on a global scale we are doing it in a way that is haphazard and inefficient. Governments experiment with subsidy schemes for renewable energy, with various degrees of success. Countries discuss targets, negotiate commitments, fight about who should shoulder more of the cost. What if we were able to reliably record and measure every action that reduces the carbon footprint—and agree on which steps have the greatest impact?Swytch.io wants to make this possible. In this episode, co-founder Evan Caron argues that it all starts (as always) with data: Swytch provides a device-agnostic platform that can collect data from a wind farm, a solar panel, a smart meter…pretty much any device in the energy ecosystem. It uses blockchain—and in the episode we debate whether blockchain is really needed here.That’s only the first step. Swytch will then enable energy and climate experts to access the data and use it to assess with competing models the climate impact of different energy investments around the world. Once you know where the investment should go, how do you create the right incentives to direct where it will have the greatest impact? The models in the Swytch ecosystem will determine the value of different carbon-offsetting or carbon-displacing actions and ultimately, actions which have a greater positive impact on energy sustainability should be commensurately compensated. The hope is that the system could provide the basis to set the right incentives for a faster transition to GHG reductions. It’s a tall order, that makes for a very intense conversation.One exciting note: About midway through the conversation with Evan, we'll break in for a surprise for our listeners, a new, regular segment called Ricky's Reports from the Edge, with our friend Ricky Buch. You have to listen to see what it's all about.Please, please, please write us a review on iTunes and rate us on your favorite podcasting app. It really helps our audience grow.Pretty please with sugar on top: contribute something to Listener's Edge on M4Edge.com. All you need to do is tell us what you find interesting. Should be an easy order for our curious listeners!

Evan Caron is managing director and founder of Swytch, an energy blockchain firm that is a spinoff of the non-profit organization he also founded called the Token Commons Foundation. He spoke to us about how, after years of being an energy trader, he began to see the next big thing in energy was developing renewables and the energy blockchain and so he left his energy trading career to create Token Commons and then Swytch and start playing a key role in the vast changes brewing in the industry. Caron is a very smart, very rational voice on the financial side of the industry and he explained for us how he came to see the value of blockchain technology and became convinced it will play a critical role in the future of our now fast evolving industry.
We explore blockchain technology’s potential to transcend borders and create a truly global market for trading carbon. For pictures and additional info, visit http://www.energy-cast.com/42-swytch.html
Stop whatever you are doing and tune in to this interview with Evan Caron of Swytch. Swytch, in so many words, is the future of the interface that takes place with renewable energy providers and the people and companies that consume energy. In this show, the host CO2 opens the dialog with Evan about how Swytch is going to change the world through changing the way people consume and interact with energy using the blockchain.
