Can we envision a future without a National Grid System?

610

That some of the world’s biggest economies have frequent #power failures is a clarion call for us to prepare ourselves for the worst.

One futuristic solution that could pave the way is for cities to create their own #energy ecosystem by utilizing the huge untapped infrastructure for #rooftopsolar with storage and turning them into several smart #microgrids through innovative tech applications. Additional power requirements can be met by the nearest generating power station using other clean sources of energy. This will not only remove dependency on national grid, but also lay the foundation for affordable and sustainable energy crucial for the future.
