While in the past the sector belonged exclusively to large, […]
Households poised to become energy dealers
Households and small businesses using independent power systems, or microgrids, still find it hard to cope without their national electricity grids. Despite the rising popularity of photovoltaic plants and wind turbines, citizens still choose to remain connected to the national grid as a way to avoid power shortages. Green energy generators rely on weather conditions […]
