Blockchain Technology, robotics & automation transforming the energy industry

Blockchain Technology, robotics & automation transforming the energy industry

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionise the energy industry by enabling secure and transparent transactions, improving grid management, and enhancing renewable energy distribution.

The energy industry is currently undergoing a transition from a centralised model to a more decentralised one. Blockchain technology can help facilitate this transition by providing a decentralised ledger that records and verifies all energy transactions in real-time, shared across a network of computers. This technology can also automate energy transactions through smart contracts, making it easier to engage in a transactive energy system.

Blockchain can also help facilitate communication between distributed energy resources like solar panels, […]
