Blockchain-powered grids: Paving the way for a sustainable and efficient future

Blockchain technology can potentially be a bedrock for the energy record-keeping system. This study examined several critical factors that affect users’ intention to accept Blockchain technology for the Smart grid. The proposed model is based on the Technology Organization Environment framework, whi...
