Canada’s energy industry is transitioning into a balanced supply mix of centralized and decentralized energy (DE). DE is energy generation at or near the point of use, irrespective of size, technology or fuel used - both off-grid and on-grid. DE brings improved efficiency through reduced line losses and thermal efficiency gains. However, to reach its maximum potential, the DE industry must be supported by up-to-date energy management solutions. Energy policy and regulation along with grid integration are two primary areas of concern. They affect all industry stakeholders and several aspects of the value chain (i.e., utilities, independent power producers, governments, regulators, manufacturers, housing industry).
