Decentralization has emerged as a key theme in energy policy and planning as small-scale renewable and distributed energy technologies – such as energy storage, electric vehicles, and demand response – make it possible to design energy production, delivery, and consumption systems that are cleaner, more efficient, and more responsive to the needs of communities.
The Institute was honored to participate in the conference “Decentralization and Energy” at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands on January 23-25, 2019, where energy decentralization was explored from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including anthropology, architecture, art, engineering, history, law, social justice, and urban planning.
Energy researchers and professionals from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Iran, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, and the US gathered to analyze energy transitions, including historical transitions and the one currently in process.
At the conference, the Institute’s Exeuctive Director Heather Rosmarin presented a paper entitled “Decarbonizing and Decentralizing Power in California: A Report on the Energy Transition."
This conference was the third and final in a series of conferences on the theme of decentralization and planning. The first two conferences were organized by universities in Grenoble (November 2017) and Milan (November 2018). Selected papers from the three conferences will be published through TU Delft Open/BK Books.
