Chapter 6: User Interface (UI) Development
The PowerPPA platform is designed to provide a seamless user experience for energy producers and
buyers within the energy trading ecosystem. Built using React JS, the platform is part of a broader
initiative named Gridustry, launched in 2021, focusing on blockchain technology in the energy sector.
The platform was developed in collaboration with the Applied Research and Development (R&D)
division of Protergia, Greece's largest private electricity company, to revolutionize the way energy is
traded, particularly through PPAs.

The platform offers a comprehensive auction system where energy producers can create new auctions
for their energy production capacity. The auction creation process is streamlined, guiding users step-
by-step through the input of essential details such as plant capacity, location, price per kWh, and PPA
duration. Additionally, producers are required to upload documentation to ensure the validity of their
auction, which is automatically processed by the platform's validation system.
