with this objective in mind from the beginning ,” said Anja Langer Jacquin , Chief Commercial Officer at depsys , whose GridEye tool consists of intelligent data capture equipment , a centralised management system and software modules to visualise and interpret the data .
“ The current issue we face is that local , uncoordinated initiatives drive most efforts aimed at accelerating our transition to clean energy . Urban neighbourhoods , startups , individuals , as well as environmentally conscious companies are launching marketplaces , putting up solar panels , buying electric vehicles and installing batteries .”
She added it would require a significant regulatory drive and coordination across countries to define the guiding principles — logistical , financial , technical — upon which we need to standardise our efforts .
“ It is not that different from the early days of the Internet ; both need access to reliable , real grid and usage data available to all super grid stakeholders to form the basis for a viable business model . Once the guiding principles and standards have been defined , then the execution will accelerate exponentially as it will attract additional investments .”
“ As part of a network of subsea , clean energy super-highways connecting the UK with its neighbours , Viking Link will help to reduce Britain ’ s carbon emissions from the power sector ”
