# Why ReFi Hub Exists Global electricity demand is rising faster than energy systems and capital markets can adapt. Electrification, AI infrastructure, transport, and urban growth are placing sustained pressure on power grids worldwide. Much of the infrastructure needed to meet this demand sits outside traditional capital markets - in distributed projects, emerging regions, and operating assets that are too small or complex for institutional balance sheets. ReFi Hub enables capital to participate directly in operating solar infrastructure that produces measurable output, contractual revenue, and real-world cashflow - using on-chain systems to improve transparency and access, without changing how energy is generated, sold, or consumed. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
