Smart Energy Meters in the Digitalization of Accounting and Security Control

In the digital economy, smart energy meters serve as an efficient tool for monitoring utility supply and consumption. Advantages of smart meters over traditional measuring devices for electricity, natural gas, and water are highlighted in terms of generating complete, reliable, and diversified information for enterprise management purposes. Installation of smart energy meters across all premises and spatial zones of an enterprise is recommended according to their functional roles. A methodology for accounting both consumed and self-generated utilities is developed based on data from smart meters, including information on location, volume, and timing of energy use. Stakeholders interested in controlling utility supply and consumption are identified, along with their specific information priorities.Security control features are refined through the formation of an integrated information environment based on blockchain technology, connecting all participants in the utility services market. Recommendations are provided for secure monitoring of utility supply and consumption processes by enterprise personnel, government regulators, tax authorities, municipalities, and financial institutions.
