Owned solution · capital pathway
vPool
Connecting capital to conservation projects through transparent measurement and verification, so funders and operators share the same evidence grade, not competing estimates.
vPool is the funding and capital narrative on Negawatts.io. Verified avoided energy (NWT) remains a digital asset concept, not a token product pitch. Deeper marketplace mechanics sit with later phases and Negawatt Economy methodology.
Why measurement first
CapEx is not the whole story
Life-cycle energy and performance drift sit below the procurement waterline. vPool conversations start with measured opportunity, not a deck of offsets.
Life-cycle view
Avoid icebergs: procurement is not the whole cost
CapEx is visible. Energy, maintenance, and performance drift sit below the waterline for decades.

What the bid shows
Life-cycle costs
Energy, maintenance, downtime, carbon, and re-procurement
Conceptual. Measurement makes the submerged cost visible before you commit capital.

Illustrative structure
Drawn from structured plant-performance financing models used in industry presentations. Negawatts.io will size every project from site data. DIFY field work is typically considered when indicative annual conservation value is SGD 50,000 or more.
Identify
Screen portfolios and plant for conservation value above the DIFY quantum where field work is justified.
Structure
Stage spend: assessment → measured study → optimise and verify.SGD 50,000 annual conservation value is the usual DIFY field hurdle.
Evidence
1 NWT represents 1 MWh of verified avoided energy use. A Negawatt (NWT) is a digital asset, not a token.
Projects may be delivered by Negawatts.io directly, or through the approved partner network, depending on location, geography, scale, procurement rules, capability, and other factors.
