Hats off to the team at DNV for putting on an interesting and thought provoking forum about the Utility of the Future. During our panel two items were highlighted that need further discussion: whether the utility death spiral is nonsense and how solar on the grid provides data that may be valuable to utilities. Today, let’s have the talk about utility death spiral first, is it non-sense? Or is there a reality in which utilities can create irreparable harm to their business model? Let me know your thoughts.
