Innovative approaches to manage supply and demand of electricity are needed to accelerate the transition from an energy system dependent on fossil fuels, to one that runs on renewable power. Interconnectivity between all elements is vital to achieve a Smart Energy System.

The mobile sector will be essential to providing the backbone infrastructure for this system. Using wireless connectivity, a broad network of diverse devices can be aggregated that both produce and consume energy. Harnessing the power of AI-based cloud computing, we can create platforms that control and optimise the use and storage of renewable energy resources and retire fossil fuels from the existing energy mix.
