The energy and utilities sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by decentralizedfinance (DeFi) and blockchain technologies. As sustainability becomes a global priority, theseinnovations offer new pathways to enhance transparency, efficiency, and resilience acrossenergy 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 ofsmart contracts to automate transactions such as billing and energy exchange, reducinginefficiencies and operational risk. Broader themes include financial inclusion, energy-backeddigital assets, and the environmental implications of blockchain adoption.

Alongside these opportunities, the book addresses key implementation challenges, includingregulatory uncertainty, scalability, and interoperability. It also highlights the role of artificialintelligence, cloud computing, and data-driven systems in accelerating digital transformation.By combining conceptual insights with practical considerations, the volume offers a clear andforward-looking perspective on the evolving energy landscape.
