Audrey Zibelman

Leading the national grid operator, she initiated and oversaw a series of regulatory and operational reforms aimed at integrating distributed energy resources and enhancing grid flexibility. Policies and technical guidelines issued under her leadership defined the framework for testing innovative platforms, including projects for trading excess solar generation and virtual networks. The impact was evident through the streamlining of pilot project approval processes, the definition of measurement and calculation requirements, as well as the motivation of utilities and distribution networks to collaborate with blockchain solutions. These institutional changes lowered the entry barrier for the commercialization of Power Ledger solutions and other platforms, simultaneously shaping expectations for operational interoperability, data security, and energy accounting at the market level.
