5 Energy Trends to Watch Out for in 2021

We’re nearing the end of an extraordinary year, in which COVID-19 disrupted life as we knew it. Despite all its challenges, the pandemic also boosted creativity, digitisation, and the creation of new services. What can we expect to see in energy next year?

Enabling the future of demand response at scale

European energy markets are evolving at an unprecedented pace. One of the most impactful drivers behind these innovations is demand response. However, there’s a lot left to be done before the entire ecosystem is ready.

Improvements in hardware and how it’s being operated will be as critical in the future as they were in the energy markets of the past. Going forward, physical and digital will co-evolve, both needed and none able to deliver the necessary changes in efficiency and sustainability on their own.

It takes time to build user trust with new technologies. Recent data leaks and inappropriate usage of user data contribute to user concerns. Energy companies need to act responsibly, use the latest security standards, and be transparent in communicating how they use their customer data.
