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?

Low Carbon Urban Precincts - From Mythology to Reality

Low Carbon Urban Precincts emote visions of local renewable energy generation, vertical farming and energy efficient business and residents using efficient appliances and driving electric vehicles. So do we find the establishment of these precincts elusive? How do we encourage them? How do we measure them?

The Future of Electricity

The current paradigm of electrical energy production and distribution is coming to an end. 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?
