Vodafone Business wishes to reach, by its SIM-centric (SCB) combines technology with Internet-of-things connectivity can be used to create “secure IDs for power plants”. This Energy Web, shared in a on 26. In may 2020, published in media Post.
According to EW, the project would make to the safe and efficient Integration of renewable and distributed systems possible. It is, among other things, and things like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, or heat pumps, in energy networks
Together, Vodafone and Energy Web will want to reach for energy suppliers is a relief, so that it is simpler and safer DLT-be able to identify energy systems that are simultaneously connected to the power network of a provider. The Partner with share that this is the same technology, the telecommunications operators SIM cards with the aim of the mobile phone-use detection.

Such a safe and simple Connections are Sayaka Sugiyama-Unger, opinion, important, as they will ensure that it is made of energy and communication networks easy assets to connect in networks and to manage them.
Energy Web-CEO Walter Kok said, the “Know-how of EW in the areas of energy and decentralization” in combination with Vodafone’s pioneering Internet-of-things infrastructure, the energy sector has rapid growth potential.
The partnership continues the recent efforts of Vodafone, in which the British telecommunications giant made the attempt to optimize its services by means of DLT.
The company has already been in the year 2019 of 20 potential use cases for the revolutionary transformation of the operation by the use of the Blockchain technology. This also includes announcements from the March to a Blockchain module-based Initiative in terms of chain processes of the company.
