very interesting to read about this part of your background. I often think the hardest part about forming a worldview about this industry is thinking about the grid's place in the future. Hard to imagine a world where there are no more poles and wires, I find myself wondering if it'll be more or less than half of what it is now, once DERs and onsite energy are fully matured
Agreed! Keep wandering, keep pushing and deploying systems.
I think this is a very exciting thought experiment. Do we need any transmission infrastructure in the future, or just a really well designed, interconnected, bi-directional and transactionally enabled distribution system? Beyond that, will wires be needed at all in the future or will we figure our wireless transmission in safe, affordable and scalable ways.
But I feel, it all begins with generating and storing energy where we consume it at scale and then maximizing the compounding opportunity of thousands of these systems working together.
