    Distributed Electricity: Balancing flexibility and reliability

    Power & Renewables
    Recent electricity supply shocks have further accelerated the uptake of distributed solutions, often in the form of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Households and businesses adopt distributed energy solutions to control electricity bills, meet renewable energy ambitions and ensure reliable power supply. Thanks to the cost-advantages of solar PV combined with supportive policy, the distributed energy segment has expanded beyond geographies with under-developed grids. What is the role of distributed generation in the future electricity grid? Can sudden surges in behind-the-meter generation disrupt the electricity markets? How are businesses evolving to deploy distributed generation solutions through profitable revenue models?
