Furthermore, the vulnerabilities of the power sector have cascading effects on critical infrastructure such as communication, health and other emergency services. On a power system level, a lack of situational awareness, inadequate system visibility and ageing infrastructure further contribute to a wider disturbance propagation and slowing down of restoration services.

Electricity being the key driver for rapid economic growth and poverty alleviation sets the target of providing access to all households.

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS)—a game-changing model that simplifies energy management, optimizes efficiency, and accelerates the integration of renewable energy for large-scale users.

Flexibility is increasingly emerging as a crucial strategy to address all of this at both macro and micro levels. On a macro scale, flexibility is essential for managing energy systems and grids.

The world’s biggest polluter can cut its carbon dioxide emissions by at least 30% by 2035 by continuing trends in the power sector and extending efforts in other industries

India plans to connect 35 GW of solar and wind energy capacity to its grid during the fiscal year 2024-2025,

The independent DEFRs do not require the availability of surplus renewable electricity. In fact, the independent DEFRs would not require the existence of intermittent renewable generation to support a reliable grid. They effectively render the renewable generators redundant; and, redundancy is expensive.

When you shackle the most cost effective and scalable source of energy, fossil fuels, and you subsidize unreliable solar and wind, that wouldn’t otherwise be competitive, energy necessarily becomes more expensive, less reliable and less secure. So again, it’s very simple.

Ultimately, an all-in-one Grid-Edge DERMS solution provides a lower-cost alternative to programs that are siloed, while also creating additional layers of complication for program managers and customers alike.

Inner Mongolia, which leads China in coal production this year, already has 88 gigawatts of wind and solar capacity, with another 170 gigawatts in the pipeline. That’s a combined total that would dwarf the power fleet of Germany.
