Powering through disruption
Without a doubt, the early 2020’s have been unusual. The global effects of Covid-19 deservedly dominated headlines around the world for much of the last two years. But the pandemic was not the only topic of significance. The move towards a more sustainable future continued to gather momentum, and some key trends for the industry worldwide came into sharper focus.
From the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic to recent price rises in the wholesale energy market, supplier failures, and significant changes in the number of and ambition behind net zero related plans following COP26, the early 2020’s have been influenced by a series of events, which have had knock on impacts on businesses and the wider economy.
The pandemic accelerated a fundamental review of future global priorities, in particular around the energy sector and a number of key themes have come to the forefront. This research paper from GridBeyond explores the emerging technology themes such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digitalisation of the industry along with trends in renewables generation, battery storage and electric vehicles (EVs) as well as the increasing need for grid balancing services and energy storage.
In this webinar, we examine the key trends that commentators – including GridBeyond’s experts – agree will be at the forefront of discussions about developments in the energy sector in 2022 and beyond.
