Description

This report confirms that power systems are beginning to undergo changes —in some cases significantones— to the way electric power is generated and consumed. We are also witnessing the occasional, limited participation of non-traditional stakeholders in the development of new business models. The decreased cost of certain technologies, such as photovoltaics, smart meters and ICTs, facilitate s this change, although the development of these models is still partially dependent on factors like regulations.
