How Technology Is Changing The Market For Energy Commodities
By DANIEL NOSSA | STEPTOE & JOHNSON PLLC ([author: Kent Bernhard*, Freelance Writer])
An experiment performed by a startup in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016 could be a harbinger of the future of the energy industry.
A recent survey indicated that many of the nations electric companies are planning on incorporating distributed energy resources (DERs) into their business model. However, as is typical with this sector (and many others), most companies would prefer to see the concept proven before they make a significant investment in it themselves. Many utilities are investing in pilot programs such as rooftop solar panels or storage to experiment with DERs, rather than making significant alterations to their core infrastructure. Pilot programs have been used by utilities for decades are considered to be an effective method of testing a concept prior to making a large and costly commitment to an unproven idea.
SEHNDE, GERMANY – MARCH 10: Steam rises from cooling towers at the coal-fired Kraftwerk Mehrum power plant at Haemelerwald on March 10, 2015 near Sehnde, Germany. Energy production from conventional-based resources is becoming less profitable as renewable energy production has expanded and matured in Germany in the last decade. RWE, one of Germany’s biggest utilities, today warned of pending job cuts due to financial losses derived from its conventional energy production. The Kraftwerk Mehrum plant is majority-owned by Stadtwerke Hannover AG. (Photo by Alexander Koerner/Getty Images)
