What's an example of how energy consumers
are becoming energy producers?
There’s a new term called “prosumer”,
which is a combination of the consumer
and the producer.
You know, we’re used to a system where
the utility produces energy
and we simply consume it.
But with the shift to renewables,
that are so decentralized,
we have the opportunity to produce
our own energy,
whether it is just solar panels on the rooftop,
or it’s energy that has been stored
in the battery of our electric car.
To the extent
we don’t need that energy,
we can sell some of it back to the utility.
