Building an Energy Market on the Blockchain: Evaluation, Wireframing, and Implementation

The energy industry contains some of the most valuable use cases for blockchain technology. With the advent of renewable microgeneration the energy markets are rapidly becoming just that. In this article I’m going to describe a simple implementation of an electricity market in the ethereum blockchain. I struggled myself to unpack how electricity markets work and how to relate energy load with payments. I think this article will be very useful if you are starting on this same path. Including Solidity smart contracts to get you started, I like to make the complex simple.
