Digitalization Could Hold the Key to the Energy Transition
Power grids face a modernization crisis as renewable energy expands faster than infrastructure can adapt. The result is major connection bottlenecks across the U.S. and EU that threaten the achievement of their decarbonization goals. Gridspertise Chief Product Officer Sergio Martìn Guerrero says digitalization offers the tools to manage the transition from traditional one-way energy flows from large plants to bidirectional energy generated from millions of distributed sources.
