As every month, Pylon Network offers a review of the highlights for the past month and a preview of what’s to expect for the coming month.

With February 2020 being part of History and March 2020 about to unfold, this is your monthly dosage of Pylon Network!

FEBRUARY 2020

Genera

Over the past years, Genera Trade Fair has become the biggest international event in Europe for energy and the environment and attracting every organization and stakeholder of the Spanish energy sector, from all perspectives of sustainability, innovation & business.

Due to the very ambitious energy regulation reform that has been taking place in Spain over the past months, this year the interest and attractiveness of Genera was over the roof!

It did not come as a surprise that the most hot topic (which was sparked by the new regulations) was the collective self-consumption market and its future potential in Spain.

Pylon team was – of course – there during all the days of the event and had the chance to listen to several presentations and engage with several energy stakeholders from the self-consumption space – and not only.

Collective self-consumption & blockchain: the added-value for their market operation (VIDEO)

Our third explanatory video on collective self-consumption was published at the beginning of the month. This part (Vol.3), explains the core value proposition for Pylon’s blockchain technology for the digital operation of collective self-consumption installations.

A neutral energy data hub for the transparent and secure/private sharing of energy data (consumption & production) among various market stakeholders who surround the operation of collective self-consumption schemes.

See the full video, here:

With the addition of this video, our self-consumption playlist also got updated. You can find the full playlist here.

Meet our new CFO: Paco Negre!

Two very important additions in our team were announced last month. Two additions with immense added value and potential for the future of Pylon Network.

The first announcement was that of Paco Negre being appointed as CFO, after several years as our advisor.

Paco carries a long successful history in entrepreneurship, business and strategic innovation and an equally impressive track record as an investor.

You can read more about Paco and his resumé in our blog post, here.

Meet our new Chairman: Javier Cervera!

The addition of Paco, was followed by the appointment of Javier Cervera as Pylon’s Chairman.

We met Javier through our collaboration in the self-consumption project that he has been leading and we are delighted, few months later, to have him on board.

Having him as a new member in our family – with his top-professional knowledge & experience from the energy energy sector – makes us honored, proud and impatient for what the future holds!

You can read more about Javier’s experience and background in our blog post, here.

Listing DEX: Confirmed listing & Reveal the name of the exchange on March.

At the end of the month we confirmed the listing of $PYLNT in its first decentralized exchange and in only few days (6th of March) the name of the exchange, as well as the listing dates & procedures, will be revealed.

Stay tuned and patient until Friday – we will be announcing it via all our channels! Until then, you can show your anticipation by upvoting the calendar event, here.

Pylon Analysis: The new tariffs for electricity consumers in Spain

The new tariffs for Spanish electricity consumers are intended to more actively engage the consumers with the energy market and give them a toolbox for taking action to reduce their electricity costs and footprint.

However, it implies some deep changes in the love – hate relationship between consumers and the electricity suppliers (aka. retailers)

This is why we published an opinion article on the new regulations and the trends & strategies that we start to see unfolding.

MARCH 2020

WSA

Last October, Pylon Network was selected as winners of World Summit Awards (WSA) in the Green Energy & Environment category.

The winners of 2019 demonstrate how content driven digital solutions decisively support the transformation to a knowledge society and also assist to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

From March 8-11 in Vienna, the WSA Global Congress will be taking place and Pylon team will be there and be part of it – presenting Pylon Network in a panel of UN officials, government representatives and within a global pool of innovative ideas and talent with social impact.

We are looking forward to a truly global event – find out more about the WSA, here.

Reveal the name of the DEX & listing date

As mentioned earlier, the name of the DEX, as well as information about the listing dates and process will be released on March 6 (Friday).

Stay tuned via our social media and digital communication channels – found below.

Effie solar virtual conference

This month we are participating in a very special kind of conference – not only because of its interesting topics, speakers and discussion panels, but also due to its (digital) nature!

Effie solar is a virtual conference, which takes place in a 3D-VR space. You can find more info (agenda, speakers, attendance) here.

Our CEO, Gerard Bel, will be joining a great panel with other energy experts to present the lessons from our journey in the self-consumption market.
