On-Chain grid innovation and $ENERGY token
The Energy Network, currently in beta, is an on-chain coordination system designed to scale grid capacity by connecting households, EV chargers, batteries, and solar panels to energy and flexibility markets. By leveraging blockchain-based incentives through its native token, Energy Dollar ($ENERGY), Fuse Energy encourages users to contribute to grid stability. The project addresses network congestion, which the company estimates has caused $70 billion in wasted energy since 2020. Fuse Energy has secured regulatory clarity for $ENERGY through a No-Action Letter from the U.S. SEC, paving the way for token listings in early 2026.
Rapid growth and vertical integration
Founded in 2022 by ex-Revolut executives Alan Chang and Charles Orr, Fuse Energy integrates all stages of energy production and delivery, from renewable construction to distributed flexibility and hardware solutions. This vertical model enables the company to deliver power at roughly 10% lower cost than traditional suppliers, saving households hundreds of dollars annually. Fuse Energy has already reached $400 million in ARR, growing eightfold year-on-year and achieving cash flow positivity in under four years.
The company plans to expand from the UK into Ireland, Spain, and the U.S., while preparing its first consumer hardware products, including micro solar and battery solutions that integrate with The Energy Network. Investors highlight Fuse Energy’s combination of technology, crypto incentives, and regulatory clarity as a blueprint for scaling energy innovation globally.
The project has received a No-Action Letter from the U.S. SEC, providing regulatory clarity for $ENERGY and paving the way for token listings in early 2026. The token’s integration into the platform exemplifies the growing intersection of energy and blockchain technology.
