Abstract
Systems and methods for generating verifiable power line sustainability data are disclosed herein. In many embodiments, a device includes a processor, a memory commutatively coupled to the processor, a communication port coupled with a second device, and a smart meter logic configured to execute within a trusted execution environment. Power source data may be received through the communication port. The power source data may be processed such as attesting to the validity of the data through a trusted execution environment. The received power source data may be communicated to energy-consuming devices and formatted to allow the energy-consuming devices to adjust their energy consumption in response to a metric, such as a sustainability metric, within the power source data. Sustainability metrics can include a power source carbon footprint, greenhouse gas mix values, and/or other indicators. Power use decisions for energy-consuming devices can be made in response to these verified sustainability metrics.
