Part 3 – The Sustainability Revolution
The sustainability revolution is here and it is driving wholesale change across generation, transmission, distribution and prosumers. With an increasing number of countries moving in this direction to solve net zero emissions by 2050, let’s take a look at how the electricity sector has or will soon be changing.

Conclusions
Innovation has been at the heart of human civilisation for some 2.4 million years. Our recent innovation periods of the scientific, industrial, and technological revolutions have paved a pathway to becoming a victim of our own success and we are now subsequently wrestling with how to get back to pre-industrial levels of emissions through the current sustainability revolution.
The next part in our series examines what might be the top challenges of net zero within this current era and how innovation must form a key part of the answer.
