KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • In its attempt to minimize the destruction caused by hurricanes, Power Ledger has appointed Mr Dante Disparte of Risk Cooperative as its strategic advisor cum ambassador for the American Continent.
  • Dr Jemma Green, co-founder of Power Ledger, described his appointment as being a perfect choice and hoped that it would enable the company to attract investment and expand its boundaries in the region.
  • On his part, Mr Dante Disparte has grown up in Puerto Rico and is well aware of the devastating effects of hurricanes, which he intends to apply to decentralize and diversify energy systems and enable the creation of a more resilient world.

In order to be better positioned to deal with natural and man-made disasters in future, Power Ledger has appointed Dante Disparte, the founder of Risk Cooperative, as its strategic advisor cum ambassador for the American continent. The global blockchain platform hopes to counter this year’s Atlantic hurricanes that are barely three weeks away by mobilizing its capital and shifting its projects to aid reconstruction activity, particularly in Puerto Rico.

While Power Ledger has carved a niche for itself in the renewable energy segment by offering a choice to both residential as also commercial entities as to how and at what price they wish to dispose of excess energy, Dante Disparte specializes in effective risk management and provision of insurance solutions. Risks could range from being natural and climatic in nature to cyber, political and so on and the onus is on Risk Cooperative to address these by ensuring readiness and building resilience.

By appointing Mr Dante Disparte, Power Ledger hopes to attract investments, bring about policy changes and achieve market expansion across the American continent and in the process provide access to clean, renewable and resilient energy, Dr Jemma Green, co-founder of Power Ledger, described Mr Disparte as being the best possible ambassador for the company given that he had devoted his career to building preparedness for risk.

For Mr Dante Disparte, it is a perfect opportunity to address vulnerable areas and ensure diversification of energy, both being important steps towards the creation of a world which is increasingly resilient. Having grown-up in Puerto Rico, Mr Disparte is well aware of hurricanes and their devastating effects and feels that decentralization of energy could prove to be the answer.
