As the drive for electrification has gained momentum, so has the demand for electricity. Can the supply of green energy, power grid capacity, technology adoption follow the demand? While consumers decide whether their next car should be electric, or if solar panels be fitted to their roof, smart electrification is not just a question of increasing “green” generation output, it is also about making sure the system can deliver it reliably and economically.
