Electrification and the Future of Decentralized Electricity Supply addresses the role of electrification in the energy transition by examining what an electrified future entails, how it can be achieved, and the challenges that must be overcome to succeed. Starting with coverage of the energy transition and the future of electricity, this book examines how electrification, coupled with renewable energy, is the fastest and best path to a sustainable energy future. Including global case studies, this book covers everything from pricing innovations to the keys to affordable electrification, ratemaking solutions, electricity tariffs, and balancing services.
Intended for researchers, professionals, academics, and students, this book is sure to be a welcomed reference for those working to advance the energy transition.
