The future of energy
Throughout history, the energy sector has undergone many transformations but now it is changing at an even faster pace. New technologies lead innovation globally and for the first time, the energy industry is following this trend under a hybrid approach and with greater integration with other sectors.
During the World Economic Forum 2017 (WEF) held in Davos on January 17th, Francesco Starace, Enel CEO, talked about some of the trends in the energy sector worldwide.
The panorama he foresees in the future is that one of the main drivers of change is the influence of digitalization due to the growth in the demand for electricity in emerging countries. The technology currently allows the introduction of different and efficient solutions that meet the specific needs of new markets.
Industries such as the automotive industry are heavily influenced by product innovations as implemented in electric cars. Today, electricity is used in sectors that we never imagined and this is the future.
