This blueprint is a strategic plan for building decarbonization, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the residential and commercial building sector.
The electrification movement has major impact on the grid and therefore on utilities being able to support the need.
There’s a dilemma arising from the simultaneous demands for reducing emissions and accommodating growing energy needs.
There is much to learn from other industries in the pursuit of the democratization of utility data.
If we narrow our focus too much as we try to move the right needles as quickly as possible, we oversimplify to the point of unsustainability.
The energy landscape is changing. In some jurisdictions, gas utilities are facing moratoria on new customer connections. Electricity companies are seeing initiatives to engage customers with behind the meter solutions. New dynamics in the market also run the gamut, from aggregators allowing customers direct participation in demand response, capacity, and ancillary services to solar and storage solution deployments helping customers avoid volumetric charges and optimizing for certain rates. Utilities are impacted by it all.
