Opportunities for Blockchain technology in the Energy and Utilities industry

Blockchain technology can play a leading role in the digitisation and in the sustainable renewal processes of the Energy & Utilities sector, contributing to the transition towards more efficient business models with a greater degree of automation. In a context in which the operators in the industry are increasingly driven towards investing in new architectures to optimise their processes and to expand the range of services offered, blockchain technology can be used to track and certify accurately in an immutable way all the information that these platforms and processes are required to manage and, at the same time, contribute to the disintermediation of the market, limiting inefficiencies linked to complex bureaucratic procedures and interactions among a multitude of actors.

The security, immutability and traceability intrinsic to blockchain technologies can support E&U operators in many complex activities: management of information and processes, such as the use of white certificates (energy-efficiency certificates); implementation of platforms for the management of electric charging stations; certification of energy consumed/produced within communities and geographical areas; offering of energy efficiency services or the accurate and punctual measurement of waste and electricity.

Applications of Blockchain

Through the analysis of significant use-cases within specific market areas, it is possible to understand the current scenario and the evolutionary potential of the Energy & Utilities sector enabled by blockchain technology.
