Utility of the future

The Utility of the Future study is the first of a series of reports produced by MIT Energy Initiative. It aims to serve as a guide for policy makers, regulators, utilities, existing and startup energy companies, and other power-sector stakeholders to better understand the factors that are currently driving change in power systems. The only way to put all resources on a level playing field and achieve efficient operation and planning in the power system is to dramatically improve prices and regulated charges (i.e., tariffs or rates for electricity services) The regulation of distribution utilities must be improved to enable the development of more efficient distribution utility business models. Widespread connection of distributed energy resources and smart appliances increase the importance of cybersecurity and heighten privacy concerns. Better utilization of existing assets and smarter energy consumption hold great potential for cost savings. At the same time, economies of scale still matter, and the distributed deployment of solar PV or energy storage is not cost-effective in all contexts and locations.

The Energy Industry Times-A new way of thinking about energy efficiency

The ISO 50001 energy management standard has a better chance of doing so because - when properly implemented - it explicitly targets changed thinking about energy efficiency. Energy audits alone will not necessarily deliver a true culture change. But when properly implement, the standard explicitly targets.
