The Rise of the Prosumer

Wednesday 27th November 2019

13:00 - 13:30

Theatre : Built Environment, Technology and Innovation T3D1 Presentations

This session will offer an overview of the role the ‘Prosumer’ will have in the decentralisation of energy generation, the technologies involved and the benefits to be had. This includes: creating a stable electricity grid, un-interrupted power to homes, businesses and commercial activity and reducing the national carbon footprint- helping the transition to a zero carbon future.
