Using smart contracts, the technology can empower bilateral settlements in real-time by eliminating midpoint delays steering to a significant reduction in the operational costs of utilities.”

Some of the decentralized of power with the blockchain technology has given a high rise to the trading platform like that which is implemented in the Brooklyn microgrid by the LO3 energy where the power can be purchased or and sold directly just within the peer to peer network, that even eliminates the need for the intermediaries.
