What existing and emerging technologies will achieve our energy goals in the coming decades? Will utilities, energy providers and consumers be able to adopt and enjoy the benefits of these technologies? Transforming the grid to meet 2020 and then 2050 clean energy targets and serve a growing economy is a tremendous challenge that needs your attention.
