DESCRIPTION:
The energy outlook is more complex than ever. Innovations and advancing technology represent some of the factors driving the energy transition and creating new standards. What are these new technologies? What role, if any, should utilities play in their development? And how should long-term technology plans be approached?
KEY QUESTIONS:
1) What assumptions are being made about the future of the energy sector? Which assumptions are already being challenged?
2) How can utilities and regulators move forward if the industry looks completely different in the future? Will they be ready to compete with these new dynamics and new players?
3) How can regulators and utilities proactively monitor these potential shifts within the fundamental nature of their business model?
