The nature of energy generation and consumption is changing: An aging power grid is in need of massive investment while alternative energy sources—wind, solar, and others—require a more localized approach to power management and distribution. The rise of electric cars will put an increasing strain on the system. We’re working with utilities to accelerate the widespread adoption of new technologies and solutions. In the process, we’re creating a better energy ecosystem—one that can bring electric energy to where it’s needed, when it’s needed, efficiently and for the best price. Durathon battery techonology's multiple uses offer a way forward: for the realization of a smart grid system with community-based hubs for storage and distribution; for the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources; and for consumers to store and use energy when it’s most economical.
