Abstract
Batteries and solar are very likely to completely alter the economics of electricity supply across the globe. In this presentation I will try to map out the current economic drivers of electricity supply and those of microgrids. I will then try to explain the underlying economic forces that will drive us from a centralised supply to semi or fully autonomous microgrids. Drawing heavily on Mahesh Bhave's 'The Microgrid Revolution', I will consider Clayton Christensen's 'The Innovators Dilemma' and Geoffrey Moore's 'Crossing the Chasm', and what they tell us about how the industry might transition and how each player might react to that transition.
