Blockchain in energy sector
summary
Alectra Utilities builds a permissioned blockchain platform (based on Hyperledger Fabric) that records procurement, delivery and settlement for distributed resources so meters, solar, batteries and EV chargers are verified end-to-end. The Grid Exchange runs three services—peak shaving, GHG reduction, demand response—and settles dollars automatically to customers. The pilot covers selected customers in Alectra’s >1 million-customer territory across Ontario’s 60 LDCs and is launching next month, proving blockchain at distribution scale.
