The energy and utilities sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technologies. As sustainability becomes a global priority, these innovations offer new pathways to enhance transparency, efficiency, and resilience across energy systems. This volume examines how DeFi enables the tokenization of renewable energy assets, supporting peer-to-peer trading and unlocking new financial models. It explores the use of smart contracts to automate transactions such as billing and energy exchange, reducing inefficiencies and operational risk. Broader themes include financial inclusion, energy-backed digital assets, and the environmental implications of blockchain adoption. Alongside these opportunities, the book addresses key implementation challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, scalability, and interoperability. It also highlights the role of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data-driven systems in accelerating digital transformation. By combining conceptual insights with practical considerations, the volume offers a clear and forward-looking perspective on the evolving energy landscape.
