Method And System For Facilitating Electricity Services
Embodiments of a method and/or system for facilitating electricity services can include collecting a set of electricity provision parameters from one or more providing parties, collecting a set of electricity request parameters from a receiving party, determining a services match between the providing party and the receiving party based on the set of electricity provision parameters and the set of electricity request parameters, processing an electricity services transaction based on the services match between the providing party and the receiving party, and/or dynamically facilitating electricity services between the providing party and the receiving party based on the electricity services transaction.

- 1. A method for facilitating electricity services, the method comprising:
collecting a set of electricity provision parameters from a providing party at a providing party interface associated with a providing party device and configured to communicate with a centralized services system; collecting a set of electricity request parameters from a receiving party at a receiving party interface associated with a receiving party device and configured to communicate with the centralized services system; determining, at the centralized services system, a services match between the providing party and the receiving party based on the set of electricity provision parameters, the set of electricity request parameters, and a carbon mitigation parameter associated with a relative carbon benefit corresponding to power provision to the receiving party by the providing party, wherein determining the carbon mitigation parameter comprises:
determining a first specific carbon footprint for grid power provision to the receiving party by an electrical grid;
determining a second specific carbon footprint for the power provision to the receiving party by the providing party; and
determining the carbon mitigation parameter based on the difference between the first and the second specific carbon footprints, wherein the difference is associated with the relative carbon benefit;
processing, with a decentralized network system configured to communicate with the centralized services system, a first electricity services transaction based on the services match between the providing party and the receiving party, wherein the decentralized network system improves security and traceability associated with the electricity services, wherein processing the first electricity services transaction comprises, with the decentralized network system:
recording, at a distributed ledger comprising decentralized nodes of the decentralized network system, a set of electricity services transaction parameters of the first electricity services transaction, wherein the set of electricity services transaction parameters comprises a price parameter, an energy parameter, a providing party identifier, and a receiving party identifier; and
updating, at the decentralized nodes, a providing party balance and a receiving party balance based on the set of electricity services transaction parameters; and
dynamically facilitating the electricity services between the providing party and the receiving party based on the first electricity services transaction.
- 10. A method for facilitating electricity services, the method comprising:
collecting a set of electricity provision parameters from a providing party, wherein the set of electricity provision parameters comprises an ecological footprint characteristic; collecting a set of electricity request parameters from a receiving party, wherein the set of electricity request parameters comprises an ecological footprint request characteristic; determining a services match between the providing party and the receiving party based on the ecological footprint characteristic, the ecological footprint request characteristic, and a carbon mitigation parameter associated with a relative carbon benefit corresponding to power provision to the receiving party by the providing party, wherein determining the carbon mitigation parameter comprises:
determining a first specific carbon footprint for grid power provision to the receiving party by an electrical grid;
determining a second specific carbon footprint for the power provision to the receiving party by the providing party; and
determining the carbon mitigation parameter based on the difference between the first and the second specific carbon footprints, wherein the difference is associated with the relative carbon benefit;
processing, with a first decentralized network system, an electricity services transaction based on the services match between the providing party and the receiving party, wherein the decentralized network system improves security and traceability associated with the electricity services, wherein processing the electricity services transaction comprises, with the first decentralized network system:
recording, at a distributed ledger comprising decentralized nodes of the first decentralized network system, a set of electricity services transaction parameters of the electricity services transaction, wherein the set of electricity services transaction parameters comprises a price parameter, an energy parameter, a providing party identifier, and a receiving party identifier; and
updating, at the decentralized nodes, a providing party balance and a receiving party balance based on the set of electricity services transaction parameters; and
dynamically facilitating the electricity services between the providing party and the receiving party based on the electricity services transaction.
