CLEAR maximises the use of local, green generation by matching solar generation with local domestic customer demand.  All available renewable generation is matched with local customers, digitally and automatically before any electricity is imported from the Grid unlocking benefits of c3.2p/kWh for matched electricity that’s shared amongst participants. This project will trial the roll-out of a new P2P energy time-matching service not yet accessible to energy consumers that will reduce customer bills and reduce the environmental impact and carbon emissions of the energy used.

With potential for UK-wide replication, CLEAR provides immediate access to cheaper, greener energy for households, and incentivizes the installation of new domestic PV systems. The project presents a blueprint for maximising local renewable energy generation and consumption.
