As we enter a challenging new era for the grid, businesses have a choice to make: sit back and hope that these trends reverse, or take proactive steps to lock in their own affordable, resilient energy supplies with distributed energy and microgrid solutions. www.utilitydive.com/news/afforda...
Affordability a ‘formidable challenge’ as load shifts to tech, industrial customers: ICF
The consulting agency expects electricity prices to rise as much as 25% in some regions through 2030 due to necessary grid expansion, wildfire hardening and other infrastructure projects.
