  Renewable energy has become a reality in the present and is being preferred
by countries to become a considerable part of the central grid. With the
increasing adoption of renewables it will soon become crucial to have a
platform which would facilitate secure transaction of energy for consumers as
well as producers. This paper discusses and implements a Blockchain based
platform which enhances and establishes a secure method to exchange energy. It
would also lower the operation costs and accommodate other technologies like
the IoT. A basic market mechanism has been developed for peer-to-peer (P2P)
transaction of energy where different types of entities can be directly
involved. Another concept which is discussed in the paper is the consensus
mechanism and whether the model market could hold the security and privacy of
the individual users.
