Abstract
A method and system for tracking and targeting particular energy sources in an electrical grid is provided. A processor stores information regarding units of produced energy as transactions in a blockchain. A processor receives, from an endpoint device of a plurality of endpoint devices connected to a power grid, a request for a unit of energy represented in the blockchain. A processor sends an indication, to the endpoint device, that the endpoint device is permitted to consume the unit of energy from the power grid. A processor updates the blockchain to record the consumption of the unit of energy.
