If climate policy exceeds the pathway prescribed
by NDCs, and
overall energy demand is lower, cost reductions in solar PV and EVs can help limit global warming to between 2.1 °C (50 % probability) and 2.3 °C (66 % probability).
By enabling the linking, monitoring, aggregation and control of large numbers of individual pieces of electricity consuming equipment, connectivity allows for matching
demand to the needs of the
overall system in real time (Digitalization &
Energy, 2017).
The fleet is expected to provide up to 700 kilowatts of
energy to the grid, which can be used to balance the
overall load
by absorbing excess power, then putting it back into the grid during times of high
demand.

Includes provisions: (1) creating a combined
energy efficiency and renewable electricity standard and requiring retail electricity suppliers to meet 20 % of their
demand through renewable electricity and electricity savings
by 2020; (2) setting a goal of, and requiring a strategic plan for, improving
overall U.S.
energy productivity
by at least 2.5 % per year
by 2012 and maintaining that improvement rate through 2030; and (3) establishing a cap - and - trade system for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and setting goals for reducing such emissions from covered sources

While many challenges remain, it is difficult not to be optimistic about the potential for change that has been opened
by decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation in an
overall context of electrification of final
demand as outlined in the latest
energy scenarios published
by the Council.
The achievable add - on electricity price of $ 15 / MWh may be difficult to undercut profitably
by increasing numbers of renewable
energy providers, who instead will place their expectations in rising

demand.
Unlike supply - side
energy resources,
energy efficiency and
demand response are the only resources that can actually begin to reduce customer electric bills
by reducing
overall consumption.
From 2010 to 2011, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion decreased
by 2.5 % due to: (1) a decrease in coal consumption, with increased natural gas consumption and a significant increase in hydropower used; (2) a decrease in transportation - related
energy consumption due to higher fuel costs, improvements in fuel efficiency, and a reduction in miles travelled; and (3) relatively mild winter conditions resulting in an
overall decrease in
energy demand in most sectors.
Previously, the emphasis has been on changes in
energy demand as determined
by changes in
