Who speaks for the environment in your urban precinct?

Microgrids may deliver significant environmental benefits to urban precincts. In determining the best possible microgrid   infrastructure, there are two potential paths. One is to assess the environmental and economic benefit  of existing technological options.   Another approach is to create coalitions of precinct participants united by a shared vision of an ideal sustainable precinct, and then backcasting to find pathways to achieve this goal.  So what is the best approach and how can a microgrid create the environmental voice for an urban precinct?

As the old energy world order debates how the future should look, the future is pushing through with nothing but contempt for tradition. The day is certainty  fast approaching when changes such as smart grids, renewable energy and storage technologies will become firmly embedded as the investment of choice as well as being an environmental necessity. What does this mean for the industry?
