Grid Balancing
Grids fluctuate in frequency depending on electricity supply. Our technology helps rebalance the grid in milliseconds and therefore stabilize the frequency at 50Hz.

RWA infrastructure finance protocol generating real-world yield via battery energy storage systems.
Megawatt is creating a new green energy investment asset class in DeFi.
We build and operate battery energy storage systems that buy electricity when prices are low, store it, and sell it back to the grid during peak demand while also generating additional revenue through grid balancing services for governments in Southeast Europe.
Capital is raised to deploy these systems and deliver yield to liquidity providers, distributed onchain with full transparency via blockchain infrastructure and a live dashboard.
How It Works:
Phase 1: Capital
- Liquidity providers deposit stablecoins onto the platform, creating a pool of deployable capital.
Phase 2: Infrastructure Deployment
- This capital is used to finance and construct battery energy storage systems in Southeastern Europe.
Phase 3: Revenue Breakdown
- Energy Arbitrage: The batteries are charged during periods of low electricity demand (typically overnight when prices are low) and discharged during peak demand periods when prices are higher.
- Grid Balancing Services: A portion of the battery capacity is allocated to grid stabilization. Due to grid overcapacity in parts of Southeastern Europe, electricity frequency imbalances are common. Our systems help stabilize the grid by providing balancing services, generating additional revenue while supporting local energy infrastructure.
Phase 4: Onchain Yield Distribution
- Revenue generated from these activities is converted into stablecoins and distributed back to liquidity providers onchain.
Our mission is simple: capture wasted energy, reduce emissions, and make energy grids more stable.
Use Cases
Capacity Markets
Our technology helps address capacity market shortages by turning battery storage into flexible reserve assets for the grid. By optimizing participation and response, we help solve shortages in modern power grids.
Green Energy
Our technology is specifically built to store energy from renewable generators, which often overproduce during peak hours. By storing it and using it later when demand is higher, we help reduce carbon footprint emissions.
Backup Power
Our technology is able to provide energy for a limited time for various institutions such as hospitals, schools, and other emergency services in cases of network outages.
