Thursday, September 12, 2013——The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) held a briefing that highlighted the challenges facing electric power systems in the United States and Europe. The future electric grid must be dynamic and adaptive to adequately respond to a number of game-changing trends: the growth of distributed electricity generation, advances in critical technologies, and the expanding role of real-time data in managing the power sector. However, a clear path has yet to be defined that harnesses these trends for a secure, affordable, and low-carbon energy system.
