Conclusion: The Inevitable Rise of Demand And Technological Solutions
13
Decentralised Energy and Localised Solutions With technological advancements, we’re also likely to see a shift towards communities may generate, store, and use their own energy through solar panels, wind turbines, and microgrids. This reduces reliance on the centralized grid and mitigates price volatility. more decentralized energy production. Households and The development of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, where electric cars can feed energy back into the grid, will also play a role in stabilizing supply and demand, helping reduce the need for expensive peak-time energy.
It’s clear that energy demand will inevitably increase as the UK pushes toward its green targets and as technology continues to advance. However, as much as our small human brains can’t quite imagine the full extent of the solutions AI will provide (let’s just say it’s probably way beyond what we’re currently envisioning!), technology will certainly help us adapt to these challenges and find solutions we can't even yet conceive. In the short to medium term, we should expect volatility in energy prices as we face the growing pains of this transition. However, the long- term outlook is much more optimistic. As energy production becomes cheaper, grids become more decentralized, and AI continues to optimize efficiencies, we can expect prices to decrease over time. While the journey will be complex, the future of energy holds promise— not just in meeting our climate goals, but in creating a more sustainable, affordable, and technologically advanced energy landscape.
