Ageing infrastructure, rising energy needs, and the integration of renewables present shared hurdles across regions like Australia, the UK, Ireland, USA, and Japan. Yet, these challenges offer transformative opportunities for innovation and collaboration.
While renewables such as solar PV and wind are setting new output records, the shift toward variable energy sources is transforming the traditional electricity value chain. Grids built for simpler times are now facing new challenges. But amidst these challenges lies an exciting opportunity for flexibility to reshape our energy systems.
GridBeyond’s recent white paper Global Energy Trends 2025 and beyond | The rise of the demand side offers an analysis of the driving forces, emerging trends, and policy frameworks influencing the future of energy systems.
In this webinar part of our Global Energy Trends 2025 series, our experts examine:
· The rise of electrification and decentralisation in energy systems
· How flexibility is critical for balancing energy security, growth, and sustainability
· How technologies, such as electric vehicles, demand side management and virtual power plants are providing flexibility
· Innovations and policies shaping the future of the energy sector.
