Abstract

Humans' dependence on electricity is rising with each passing day. The challenge of global warming can be mitigated by using clean energy sources like electricity instead of burning fossil fuels. In order to meet this increased demand, there is a strong need for an effective electricity management system. The use of smart meters for recording electricity consumption data is vital to the idea of a "smart city." Some of the challenges faced in detailing electricity consumption data include saving large amounts of data, deletion, manipulation, and adjustment of data. Blockchain is a promising technology which can address these issues of data integrity and confidentiality using cryptographic algorithms.

Keywords
