Perspective — Local Energy

Local energy and the limits of the grid

Constraint creates commercial opportunity. Where the network cannot deliver, local models start to make economic sense.

Connection queues, curtailment and constrained networks are shaping where generation, storage and demand can profitably sit.

Local and private-wire models exist because of those constraints, not in spite of them.

The commercial work is in the detail: who contracts with whom, on what basis, and how the risk is shared.

A perspective from 818 — a topic we work on rather than a published paper.
