Energy, water & smart grid

Utilities

From consumption to automated settlement.

Utility infrastructure already measures consumption precisely. The financial layer converts that measurement into a transaction — prepaid energy, usage-based water, and device-linked settlement that needs no human to initiate it.

  • Water
  • EV charging
  • Prepaid balances
  • Usage-based billing
  • Device-linked payments
Metered consumption capabilities

What the infrastructure does in utilities

Each capability draws on the same identity, transaction and settlement layers. The sector determines the pricing rule and who is owed.

  • Energy

    Settlement triggered by interval consumption data from the meter.

  • Water

    Usage-based charging with tariffs resolved per consumption band.

  • Charging

    Revenue split between charge point host, grid utility and software provider.

  • Prepaid services

    Balance, top-up and supply-state logic linked to mobile payments.

  • Usage-based billing

    Dynamic tariff calculation driven by demand and time of use.

  • Device-linked payments

    The metering device itself is the transacting party of record.

Platform layers used

Which parts of the stack this sector leans on

Most sectors use three or four of the six layers. The rest are there when the scope grows.

Machine-to-machine settlement

A meter that settles for what it measured

  • An electrical substation of switchgear and transmission gantries
    Step 01

    Consumption measured

    The device records the interval and the quantity consumed.

  • A contactless bank card held against a payment terminal
    Step 02

    Tariff resolved

    The applicable rate, band and any subsidy are applied to that quantity.

  • An electric vehicle charging station lit at night under a canopy
    Step 03

    Transaction raised

    The device transacts against the linked account under its own identity.

  • A wall of diagnostic monitors and gauges in a control room
    Step 04

    Participants paid

    Utility, host and platform receive their defined share of the amount.

Infrastructure measures consumption. The financial layer converts consumption into commerce.
