Building the open-source digital infrastructure for a resilient, decentralised energy grid.

Securing Great Britain’s Energy Future

The BESS Foundation is a non-profit entity established to accelerate the United Kingdom’s transition to a sustainable and secure energy future.

We serve as the neutral steward for the settlement of digital energy assets, providing a secure, public-benefit governance framework.

  1. Open Infrastructure: Establishing, governing, and maintaining the open-source digital infrastructure for Great Britain’s energy storage settlement.

  2. Grid Resilience: Advancing the science of real-time energy telemetry and establishing transparent standards for physical integrity and cybersecurity.

  3. Neutral Stewardship: Providing a public-benefit framework for electronic trade documents and digital delivery warrants representing stored energy.

  4. Industry Collaboration: Fostering scientific research and open innovation by protecting the software and registries that facilitate a distributed energy ecosystem.

The BESS Foundation

We are building the bridge between physical energy storage and immutable digital settlement. By supporting research and establishing new standards, the Foundation ensures that Great Britain's energy infrastructure is secured against latency and imbalance.

  • Atomic Settlement: Transitioning legacy batch settlement into a secure, real-time framework to protect grid stability.

  • Interoperable Standards: Creating an open, patent-pending standard for translating physical telemetry and electronic data transfer into a neutral, transparent ledger.

  • Digital Delivery Warrants: Aligning distributed energy governance with public policy, including the Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023, to ensure absolute exclusivity and provenance.
