Dilemma

In traditional energy systems, power generation and distribution are typically controlled by centralized utility companies or power grids. However, with advances in green energy technology and evolving roles within the energy sector, this ancient and massive industry needs to transform in response to the rapid changes in both productive forces and production relations.

The energy sector is experiencing growing pains in its transition from traditional to modern systems: On the supply side, we're witnessing a shift from large-scale centralized power generation based on fossil fuels toward distributed renewable energy sources. On the demand side, energy consumption scenarios are diversifying, extending from conventional industrial and commercial usage to new load resources such as energy storage facilities and charging stations. Meanwhile, the data value generated during energy consumption is becoming increasingly crucial. However, the inherent limitations of traditional centralized energy systems are hindering this transformation.

Beyond the ultimate dilemma of energy distribution, the centralized energy system faces multiple challenges across several dimensions:

Supply Efficiency:

· Low operational efficiency with high maintenance costs

· Massive expenditure on grid construction and maintenance

· Unbalanced energy distribution leading to simultaneous "power abandonment" and "power shortage"

System Security:

· Single point of failure risks in large power plants and long-distance transmission lines

· Vulnerability of centralized data systems to attacks and manipulation

· Concurrent threats to energy and cyber security

Participation Barriers:

· Limited access for ordinary users to participate in energy production

· High capital requirements for infrastructure development

Governance Transparency:

· Lack of user data transparency

· Asymmetric energy usage information

· Prevalent corruption and energy theft issues

Incentive Mechanisms:

· Insufficient motivation for user participation in green energy transition

· Inadequate incentives for sustainable development

While blockchain-enabled distributed energy systems are widely recognized by industry pioneers as a revolutionary solution for reshaping energy production relationships, current DePIN implementations face numerous challenges: high infrastructure costs, deployment difficulties in underdeveloped regions, and high barriers to entry for average users are limiting the scalable implementation of next-generation energy networks. EnrgiX recognizes that building a truly decentralized energy network requires breaking down traditional role barriers, enabling each participant to fully utilize their energy assets' value, and facilitating the transition from passive consumption to active value creation.
