Current Thinking: Unlocking the energy transition for buildings

Video

Eaton’s Paul Connors, and Enel X’s Philip Martin explain transitioning non-residential buildings from energy users to energy producers. This transition will dramatically change future operations of the grid and the communities dependent on the power it produces.

Key Focus Areas

The energy transition opportunity: Learn how buildings can become energy producers and the elements needed to make this a reality, including integration of distributed energy resources like solar and energy storage that enable flexibility, microgrids for resilience and new commercial models like energy-as-a-service financing.
Implications of the transition on the grid and communities: As this transition happens, the grid and communities will see many benefits. Buildings will thrive in their new use of energy with enhanced operational resilience, reduced energy costs and lower carbon emissions.
The future of buildings: To make this transformation a reality, users need to adopt new methods of power generation and ways to leverage the flexibility of their assets. Learn how Eaton and its partners are leading the way in the conversion of buildings to energy prosumers.
