Analyst Insight: Megatrends Impacting Energy Blockchain

Energy Blockchain Vendor and Deployment Insights

The Guidehouse Insights Energy Blockchain Vendor and Deployment Tracker provides an overview of blockchain vendors and project developments in the energy industry, including vendors, project partners and funding, project size, use cases, company status, and other project-specific data points.

As of 1Q 2023, Guidehouse Insights tracks 585 total energy blockchain projects. In 2022, a total of 81 projects were added to the tracker, led by the US and Germany. Transactive energy and certificates of origin remain the most popular use cases in project count, though support for grid balancing, asset ownership, and microgrid operations have also grown significantly. While project motivations naturally vary, common trends include support for multinational corporations in meeting ambitious climate goals and facilitating greater grid flexibility and control in response to the proliferation of renewable energy resources.

For most product categories, competitive and technological landscapes remain nascent; however, a few vendors and flagship projects are helping lead the way to broader adoption across the board. Leveraging insights and findings from the 1Q 2023 iteration of the Tracker, this Analyst Insight provides an overview of the energy blockchain market from a regional, vendor, and use case perspective, focusing on forward-looking trends that inform market opportunities and potential.
