How 'active efficiency' can help grids weather an uncertain future
An 'active efficiency' approach can boost their resilience by reducing energy demand without shutting off the power. It involves deploying both passive and active measures across the full-spectrum of energy efficiency. Recent events in Texas and elsewhere in the US are reminding us that our existing energy system infrastructure and operating structures are increasingly being challenged by severe weather-related events. In Texas, unprecedented freezing temperatures created a “perfect storm” of disruption, including dangerous conditions, decreased energy supply due to electric and gas infra...
