On-Demand Webinar: Energy Storage and the opening of a new market space DNOs have been waiting for | Pangea SI and E.ON Innovation

Mike Callis

More and more local communities are realising that they have a pivotal role to play in driving forward the energy transition. There are a number of energy transition pathways available to citizens as well as the organizations that govern and design transformative and inclusive energy solutions. This calls for advanced utility energy systems to be fully integrated with robust controls; systems that are flexible and can harness the growing number of third-party owned assets.
