The Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain in True Cost Accounting for Energy Transition in Europe

Abstract: The current energy prices do not include the environmental, social, and economic short and long-term external effects. There is a gap in the literature on the decision-making model for the energy transition. True Cost Accounting (TCA) is an accounting management model supporting the decision-making process. This study investigates the challenges and explores how big data, AI, or blockchain could ease the TCA calculation and indirectly contribute to the transition towards more sustainable energy production.

“…Amsterdam, Netherlands: Amsterdam has implemented an artificial intelligence-powered energy management system that utilizes data collected via smart meters and building sensors to optimize energy use while simultaneously decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. AI algorithms use analysis results in energysaving actions like changing building temperatures or lighting levels resulting in reduced costs and greater sustainability [29,31].…”

“…Existing energy models, primarily based on traditional fossil fuels, face significant limitations in addressing environmental, social, and economic externalities. Gusc et al (2022) discuss the challenges in energy transition decision-making and how big data, AI, and blockchain could contribute to more sustainable energy production [11]. The study highlights the need for True Cost Accounting (TCA) in the energy sector, emphasizing the role of technology in facilitating this transition.…”
