The document discusses the changing electric power sector and the utility of the future. It notes that distributed energy resources like solar, electric vehicles, batteries, and demand response could transform electricity markets, grid operations, and utility business models. Regulators, utilities, and tech companies are positioning themselves for a new era of electricity innovation. The webinar will discuss what the utility sector may look like in the coming decades, who will deliver electricity services, who is best positioned to capture new opportunities, and whether consumers will benefit from a more distributed power system.

The electric power sector is poised for transformative changes. The
growing penetration of distributed energy resources, including
distributed generation such as solar PV or fuel cells, electric vehicles,
stationary batteries, and demand response, could remake electricity
markets, power system operations, and utility business models alike.
Regulators, utilities, and new technology companies are now
positioning themselves for a new era of electricity innovation.
What will the utility sector of the future look like? Who will deliver
electricity services a decade or two from now? Who is best positioned
to grow market share and capture new market opportunities? Will
energy consumers benefit from a more distributed power system?
