WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Coders, UX/UI designers, energy experts, engineers, entrepreneurs, product developers, creatives, data-lovers, legal gurus interested in creating smart energy solutions.
​
You can apply as a team or as an individual. If you don't have a team, we will help you connect and create a team on the day. We'll have teams of 4-5 with each member bringing different skills to the table.
​
To participate, you need to be able to attend the virtual hackathon briefing on 24th September. Sign up here.
Your challenge is to enable smaller businesses to contract energy directly from wind and solar farms.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF A PPA?
Aggregating electricity demand from medium to large-sized enterprises is the single most important factor to unleash growth in corporate PPAs.
​
By forming a buying group, it will enable each member to get their electricity directly from wind and solar farms - something they can't do alone. Understanding exactly where your energy comes from and how that source helps support the local community to be sustainable is important.
The winning team will have the opportunity to showcase their project to the renewable energy industry in a webinar organised with RE100 members.
​
RE100 is a body of the world's most influential leaders that have made a commitment to go '100% renewable'.
