In a newly published report, we're trying to answer this and many other questions around the readiness and need for grid edge solutions in numerous countries and regions. The report has been conducted in collaboration of the TU Berlin with the University of Oxford and Siemens, and can be accessed here:

Driving the Energy Revolution - An index for grid edge need and readiness [2]

In a Webinar at Enlit Conference [3], the paper has been introduced by Prof. Dr.-Ing Joachim Müller-Kirchenbauer (TU Berlin), Dr.-Ing Michael Weinhold (CTO Siemens Smart Infrastructure) and Prof. Dr. Malcolm McChulloch (University of Oxford).

In the associated interview [4], the two co-authors Stephan Seim and Miriam Zachau Walker answer some questions around the white paper.

Dear visitors, students, colleagues and friends of the department, Thank you for your interest in energy and resources and for visiting our website. On the following pages, we briefly introduce the most important sections of our department. My colleagues and I shall be happy to answer any further questions personally. Yours cordially Prof. Dr.-Ing. Joachim Müller-Kirchenbauer
