Infrastructure behind the energy transition

Why generation is only part of the power-system story.

Connect generation with use

Electricity must be available where and when it is needed. Networks, connection capacity and system operation influence whether new generation can serve demand effectively.

Consider flexibility

Demand patterns and generation output vary over time. Storage, flexible demand and other balancing resources can help, but their suitability depends on operating conditions and costs.

Evaluate the complete project

A project assessment should bring together equipment, grid access, permits, operations and customer demand. An attractive technology alone does not resolve these practical dependencies.
