  2. Community Smart Grids – a new kind of grid Community Smart Grids are smart grids owned and operated by local authorities and community groups rather than by utilities. Running on SODA, Community Smart Grids securely gathers and stores meter readings which are auctioned to energy generators, suppliers and traders on a quarterly basis. This means no lock-ins to a single supplier and the cheapest deals every day from across the whole industry. Revenue is also raised through the platform for local authorities to use in community projects. www.redskiesgroup.com
