Distributed energy resources
The rise of the energy prosumer
The drive to decarbonization is motivating a new generation of engaged customers or “prosumers” to produce their own energy from renewable sources.
How utilities can meet the needs of prosumers
The challenge for utilities companies is to engage with prosumers, increasing the overall benefit that they bring to the power grid as well as the value they receive as contributors. SAP offers AI-based, data-driven solutions that benefit utilities and prosumers alike.
