Embracing the Distributed Energy Future

The energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the proliferation of DERs—solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage, and electric vehicles. This transformation process has a major impact reshaping how we generate, distribute, and consume electricity. Also is affecting the Utilities business model: affect how they manage the assets, how the utilities interact with customers and what customers expect from the utilities.

At the SAP Experience Centre, visitors delve into the world of DERs, discovering how these assets are empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to take control of their energy destiny into a more decentralized, digitalized, and sustainable energy system.

 

The Rise of the Prosumer

The Energy Transition is a reality. Prosumers are growing in the energy space as more customers generate their own electricity from distributed energy resources. Gone are the days when electricity consumption was a one-way street. Today’s electric grid is blurring the lines between power generation and consumption.

At the S.MART Shop showcase, visitors witness in firsthand how individuals and organizations can apply DERs, smart meters, and digital platforms to become active participants in the energy ecosystem, guided by the experience of their Utilities companies.

 

Navigating the Transformation Journey

Transitioning from a passive energy consumer to an active prosumer comes with challenges. At the showcase, visitors gain insights into the transformation journey, from understanding energy consumption patterns and evaluating DER options to navigating financial considerations. Through expert-led workshops and interactive simulations, visitors discover how SAP and Partner solutions can help simplify the transition process, giving prosumers with the tools and insights they need to succeed in the new energy landscape.
