Electricity Consumers Are Becoming Producers: Macro Trends In Energy Sector
LF Energy Spring Summit: https://www.tfir.io/lf-energy-spring-summit/
The energy sector is going through its own transformation, parallel to the digital transformation that virtually every industry is going through. Jason Shepherd, Vice President of Ecosystem at Zededa, opines that with the popularization of solar panels and batteries, people are now producing their own electricity and storing them in batteries that reverse the power flow in the grid, which it wasn’t designed for. Moreover, renewable is also a new space. All of this creates a unique challenge for power companies still relying on legacy systems. This challenge needs collaboration within the energy industry with commodity hardware and open source technologies. LF Energy has created a perfect platform for that collaboration. In this exclusive interview for LF Energy Spring Summit 2021, Shepherd talks about these challenges and the open-source technologies that are being built to address these challenges.
Shepherd will be delivering a talk at the LF Energy Spring Summit.
