As the electric power industry faces the challenges of climate
change, technological disruption, new market imperatives, and
changing policies, a renowned energy expert offers a roadmap to the
future of this essential sector. As the damaging and costly impacts
of climate change increase, the rapid development of sustainable
energy has taken on great urgency. The electricity industry has
responded with necessary but wrenching shifts toward renewables,
even as it faces unprecedented challenges and disruption brought on
by new technologies, new competitors, and policy changes. The
result is a collision course between a grid that must provide
abundant, secure, flexible, and affordable power, and an industry
facing enormous demands for power and rapid, systemic change. The
fashionable solution is to think small: smart buildings,
small-scale renewables, and locally distributed green energy. But
Peter Fox-Penner makes clear that these will not be enough to meet
our increasing needs for electricity. He points instead to the
indispensability of large power systems, battery storage, and
scalable carbon-free power technologies, along with the grids and
markets that will integrate them. The electric power industry and
its regulators will have to provide all of these, even as they
grapple with changing business models for local electric utilities,
political instability, and technological change. Power after Carbon
makes sense of all the moving parts, providing actionable
recommendations for anyone involved with or relying on the electric
power system.
