Ant Digital Connects $8.4 Billion in Chinese Energy Infrastructure to AntChain

The tokenization drive uses on-chain meter data to issue fractional claims that have already funded three clean-energy pilots totaling 300 million yuan.

Overview

  • Ant Group’s enterprise arm is recording real-time output and outages from wind, solar and charging equipment across roughly 15 million devices on its blockchain.
  • People close to the project told Bloomberg the firm is exploring listing energy-project tokens on offshore decentralized exchanges to improve liquidity, subject to regulatory approval.
  • Tokens tied to the assets are structured as pro‑rata claims on cash flows, with oracles relaying meter readings and validator sets verifying records before they are written on‑chain.
  • Industry observers expect early participation to come mainly from professional and institutional investors rather than retail buyers.
  • Earlier efforts linked charging stations and photovoltaic units for Longshine Technology and GCL Energy Technology, laying groundwork for the broader rollout.
