E2: GRIDLOCK—THE GLOBAL POWER PROBLEM


Citi Research

ShareTRANSCRIPT

The power grid is arguably the backbone of modern society. We’re now at a
critical convergence of soaring power demand from the digital economy — driven
by the rise of electric vehicles, data centers, artificial intelligence (AI),
and other technological advances — and an aging grid that requires significant
improvement. The International Energy Agency estimates that power lines globally
will need to double in length between now and 2050, and that’s not including the
old power lines that need to be replaced. Then there’s the red tape that stands
in the way of new construction, the challenge of integrating renewable energy,
and the need for coordinated planning to modernize the grid — all of which point
to unprecedented, structural supply-and-demand shocks. 

Join Citi’s Rob Rowe, Head of the Global Strategy and Macro Group and U.S.
Regional Director of Research, and Anthony Yuen, Head of Energy Strategy in
Commodities Research, as they unpack the complexities of the global power
problem and discuss potential solutions, including long-duration energy storage,
flexible supply, demand response, and the use of AI to help model and coordinate
modern power grids.

OVERCOMING GRIDLOCK: POWERING OUR FUTURE

The power grid is arguably the backbone of modern society, and we’re now at a
critical convergence of the demand ramp-up of an increasingly electrified
economy and an aging power grid that requires significant improvement,
especially in incorporating more renewable but intermittent energy, such as
solar and wind.
