Efforce (WOZX) is the first blockchain-based energy-saving trading platform that allows anyone to participate and benefit from tokenized energy savings generated by energy efficient projects worldwide. ^[1]

Overview

Efforce acts as a digital marketplace where companies can use to raise funding for energy-efficiency projects. The platform works with energy service companies (ESCOs) to evaluate the investment needed for projects, calculate the anticipated savings, and come up with a contract that details the returns for the company and investors. ^[3] 

The platform then lists the project for crowd contribution. Meaning, participants may buy into the project using fractional or whole WOZX tokens.  ^[2]

Efforce then measures the energy savings from the project through smart meter s attached to the blockchain. The platform then logs them on the WOZX blockchain. Any savings data is loaded into the investor's profile as energy credits for use or sale by the investor. Energy credits are distributed in megawatts-hours.  ^[1]

The energy savings generated becomes an asset to token holders, where they can decide to sell them or use them to reduce their electricity bills.  ^[2]
