# Energy Markets

## **Energy Markets**

Energy market platforms on TRON to allow TRX holders to sell (lease) their energy to accounts that require energy.\
\
Selling of resources can be manual or automated. The benefit of automation is that you do not need to remember when to reclaim your delegated energy to start to regenerate it for future sales.

Some energy markets leverage smart contracts to manage the buying and selling of energy but interacting with the smart contract itself costs energy. Hence, many energy markets like Tronpower have a offchain solution , where users deposit TRX to guarantee the energy provider that they will be paid for their energy. The benefit of this is that it is more cost effective for buyers and sellers.

{% hint style="info" %}
The growth of decentralized applications or dApps means more smart contracts will be deployed on TRON and hence more energy being used. This will fuel the demand for TRX and energy. With current demand, TRX holders can see returns as high as 20% to 30% APY just by staking TRX and selling energy.
