Further, this also allows more transparency and security across the enterprise as well.

There are a number of blockchain-based enterprises that are already working on tailored energy solutions. For instance, Electron, which is a UK startup and Power Ledger an Australian blockchain-based energy company are some of the firms that are working to implement the peer-to-peer energy trading market. Also, Blox Labs Inc., in partnership with Sonoro Energy Ltd., has commenced development of “PetroBLOX”, a blockchain-based smart contract supply chain management platform for the global oil and gas industry. All these factors coupled with the growing investments by venture capitalists, investments in microgrids, greater acceptance of cryptocurrency, collaborations between blockchain companies and energy corporations have been instrumental in driving the global blockchain market in the energy sector. However, the lack of regulations and the presence of open source platforms is hindering the growth of this market.

Smart contracts, can reduce labor costs, reduce manual and semi-automated processes, reduce capital costs through faster settlements, and reduce technology costs by decreasing dependency on redundant systems. It has the potential to enable company savings in the range of 30 - 60%. With the aim to streamline processes and the increasing adoption of automation across the energy sector has created opportunities for the deployment of smart contracts.

Further, with an increasing focus on deployment of smart grids and smart meters aimed at fulfilling the country’s 2020 goals, there has been a drive in the adoption of blockchain technology. For instance, Centrica, the United Kingdom’s largest supplier of residential energy has partnered with LO3 Energy to initiate a pilot peer-to-peer renewable energy trading program to mitigate the impacts of renewable energy curtailment. All these factors have been instrumental in driving the market for blockchain in the energy sector in the country.
