EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
WATCH NOW
EcoStruxure™ Grid for Distribution Utilities & Consumers
support this modern grid. Without going into the macro politics of it, policies need to evolve. This is where we need to educate governments, policy makers, industry participants on really the adoption of policy to support smart grids, support digitisation of the grid and to enable those technologies to be implemented. It takes a village.
We need to keep on fostering collaboration and need industry to participate to really adopt the technologies that we have today. There are many technologies we can apply today. I encourage our partners, industries and our customers to adopt proven technology if we have it. Let’ s make sure that we can help reform and educate along the way so we can speed up grid modernisation and further growth. The IEA says we had US $ 150tn to spend over the next 20 years on grid modernisation – and that’ s not going to happen by itself. It will happen with regulatory support, government support, industry support as we try to further decarbonise our economies and the grid. energydigital. com 81
