Chile will use ethereum’s blockchain as a way to record energy sector statistics, its government announced Thursday.
智利将利用以太坊的blockchain作为一种记录能源部门的统计，其政府星期四宣布。
The National Energy Commission, which is a part of the country’s Energy Ministry, said it would commit data to the public ethereum ledger in order to “augment levels of security, integrity, traceability and confidence in the information available to the public,” according to a statement.
国家能源委员会，是国家能源部的一部分，说 将数据提交到公共伊斯利恩帐以“增强安全完整性水平，在向公众提供信息的可追溯性和信心，”根据 声明。
The commission is particularly concerned that its databases can be hacked and manipulated. The ethereum-based approach represents an alternative method for data storage, given that distributing records among a large number of nodes helps to alleviate that concern.
委员会特别关切的是，它的数据库可以被黑客攻击和操纵。虚灵议会的方法是数据存储的一种替代方法，由于分布在大量节点有助于缓解这一问题的记录。
The commission has already begun committing some data to the blockchain, including information about installed electricity-generating capacity, average market prices, marginal costs, hydrocarbon prices and compliance with laws requiring that renewables account for a certain share of electricity generation.
该委员会已经开始进行一些数据链，包括发电装机容量的信息，市场平均价格、边际成本、油气价格和要求可再生能源发电占一定份额的法律合规。
Following this first stage of the project, known as “Energia Abierta” or “Open Energy,” the commission will study the results and share them with other companies and government bodies in the sector.
这个项目的第一阶段，称为“公司abierta”或“开放的能源，“证监会将研究结果与其他公司和部门政府机构分享。
Susana Jimenez, Chile’s energy minister, said in a statement:
Susana Jimenez，智利的能源部长在一份声明中说：
“We are interested in taking this technology from a conceptual level to a concrete case, understanding that it’s considered to be the most disruptive technology of the last decade by world-class experts, and that it could be part of day-to-day life in the next few years.”
“我们感兴趣的是将这项技术从概念层面推广到具体的案例，理解它被世界级专家认为是过去十年中最具破坏性的技术，它可能是未来几年日常生活的一部分。”
The commission’s decision to use an open blockchain like ethereum as opposed to a so-called permissioned network stands out. The statement explained that having “hundreds of thousands of servers” authenticating the data makes it more trustworthy and difficult to alter.
该委员会的决定，使用像伊斯利恩反对所谓的 容许网络站出来公开blockchain。声明解释说，拥有“数十万服务器”来验证数据，这使得它更值得信任和难以更改。
