In some parts of the world, electricity transmission and distribution systems are over one hundred years old, but a host of digital and physical technologies are turning them into “digital grids of the future.” This transformation couldn’t come soon enough. The World Economic Forum reports that using digital technologies to optimize the grid could bring society up to $1.2 trillion in value.
