Executive Summary

PowerLedger is an established Australian energy software company — founded 2016, ICO'd in 2017 — that tracks, traces, and trades every kilowatt-hour of clean energy and environmental commodities across live deployments in Australia, India, Japan, and Thailand. The scraper gaps here are artifacts of a legacy website, not real risks; the actual concern is token utility drift: $POWER was originally required to access the platform but the company has shifted toward B2B SaaS contracts, quietly marginalizing the token's role, and momentum has flatlined since 2021 with no meaningful exchange expansion or partnership catalysts. On the positive side, this is one of the few blockchain-energy projects with proven real-world traction — government and utility contracts, a credentialed founding team led by Dr. Jemma Green (PhD, sustainable energy), and a product that actually runs. Score: 48/100 — Legitimate company, real deployments, but $POWER token value capture is structurally weak.
