For example, Energy Web Foundation’s (EWF) energy- sector promotes the use of blockchain in energy management. Like Bitcoin, the EWF blockchain is a distributed ledger, upon which users can code applications that run on top of it.
I am not sure if the energy companies will allow decentralised control of their sector. this would afford too much power transfer from the incumbent to the prosumer. They may incorporate decentralised infrastructures for energy management, but they will inevitably be afforded by permissioned systems, ultimately under the incumbents' control, or inclusive of some exclusive consensus mechanism such as Proof of Authority. There is too much value staked by those that allocate resources to the physical infrastructure for them to cede control in a sector that is deeply entrenched in legacy organisation methodology.
