Abstract
A blockchain configuration may be used to store a distributed ledger for an energy optimization procedure. One example method of operation may include measuring energy metrics associated with network devices operating on a network via meter devices, identifying potential changes to existing energy usage of the network based on the energy metrics, logging the energy metrics and the potential changes as part of a distributed ledger, and storing the distributed ledger in a blockchain block.
