Recenzje

"A new book [delving into] the nitty gritty of similar and more broad-based production, use, storage and trading of behind-the-meter alternative energy technologies, Behind and Beyond the Meter looks at the rapidly changing energy sector driven by the rise of renewable resources on the supply side and equally dramatic developments on the demand side, including distributed generation and storage, electric vehicles and other like innovations. "It's not far fetched," to imagine a future with many net zero energy communities, those generating and feeding into the network as many kWhs as they take out, Sioshansi emphasized. Standing in the way are regulatory barriers, including those that thwart localized trading of power. The editor and contributors urge regulators to avoid stifling innovation and instead to encourage and reward this energy innovation."--Elizabeth McCarthy, 9 Apr 2020, CA Current

"provides a thorough survey of the issues arising from "behind" the meter. As the epilogue highlights, decentralisation and digitalisation are surely well underway, along with activation of new interactions, whether through aggregators, platforms or other means, justifying the initial claim of the book to cover most interesting and fertile territory." --Martin Crouch, 4D Economics
