Past Practices Will No Longer Work

World energy use forecast to triple in 40 years2

Old grids are dumb & often unreliable

New smart grids expensive & long lead time to build

Renewable energy grid access limited

Smart buildings, smart meters & demand reductiontechnologies not fully integrated with todays grid
