A study entitled “Blockchain in the integrated energy transition” conducted by the Deutschen Energie-Agentur (dena) indicates that blockchain technology is already able to generate added value in many areas of the energy industry for both companies and consumers. The study explored the potential added value of using blockchain within the context of the energy transition based on actual use cases from the energy industry’s core areas of asset management, data management, market communications, energy trading and financing. The study was conducted using the expertise of 16 partner companies, two independent experts and nine scientific and business advisers.

To share these insights as they become available, we are creating a series of academic and thematic reports, which we will be collecting in our library

L’initiative vient d’Allemagne et malgré la jeunesse de son projet, la startup Lition a déjà réussi à se faire licencier comme fournisseur d’énergie officiel en Allemagne. 700 foyers sont approvisionnés en électricité renouvelable par Lition, grâce à un concept connectant directement les consommateurs avec les producteurs d’énergie verte.

The first energy community offering citizens and about 900 companies in the Pilastro-Roveri district reduced tariffs thanks to a combination of renewable sources, distributed generation, energy storage and optimization of consumption, is kicking off in Bologna.

The FIWARE Energy Day brought together private and public businesses, academia, and developers to learn about how standards are driving the development and integration of Smart Energy solutions and platforms. Discover how the once direct value chain is now transforming itself into complex ecosystems facilitated through Open Source strategies.
Consumers are becoming prosumers. Supply and demand are optimized in real-time and at a very granular level. The need for flexibility has, therefore, grown notably with the innovations of renewable energy resources, batteries, power electronics, electric mobility, blockchain, and rapid digitalization. The FIWARE Energy Day showcases European projects, global developments, business model innovations with FIWARE.
