Transitioning Power Systems for Electric Transport

Business Risk & Opportunity in an Electric Vehicle World

Course Overview

Although the electrification of transport may seem at an early stage, the rapidly falling costs of batteries mean that most analysts expect electric vehicles to be cheaper to buy than similar conventionally fueled ones within the next five years. Even before then, lower total ownership costs see them outsell the traditional competition in some markets and segments. As up-front costs equalize, many experts expect the speed of this transition to be highly disruptive to businesses in the power sector.

For the latter, the electrification of transport brings both risks and opportunities. On the one hand, increased demand for electricity means increased sales for power plants and utilities. On the other, both policymakers and grid operators need to ensure that increased demand can be met but doesn't lead to undesirable and expensive impacts on the electricity grid. New business models are emerging to create new revenue streams, manage the transition, and incorporate electric vehicles into power systems as valuable and flexible assets rather than simply as sources of new problems. But new business models are also allowing new market entrants to compete with old industry incumbents.

Given the potential speed of transition, progressive players within the power sector are already moving ahead – and those who wait may find they are left behind. This online training course provides a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities ahead and global examples of how leading countries and companies are addressing them.
