A Comprehensive Ranking of Countries Based on the Current Energy Market Scenario and Potential Growth Opportunities in the Distributed Energy and Digital Landscape
Although much of the focus on grid investment relates to hardware, there is a growing awareness of how important it is to increase the overall intelligence of the grid. This Digital Grid Attractiveness Index analyzes and ranks countries based on how attractive they are for digital grid developments in terms of implementing improvements in a number of different areas.
These include the distribution grid operation (such as the installation of smart meters and minimizing distribution losses), accommodating distributed energy resources (DER) (such as distributed solar PV and battery energy storage), adopting demand-side management solutions (such as demand response, energy efficiency measures, and microgrids) and enhancing grid resiliency and reliability. The publisher has selected 56 country markets representing all regions - 45 of the 50 largest economies. Of these, 21 of the countries have been profiled, and they have been selected to provide a representative overview of countries at different stages of their digital journeys.
