and supply challenges , Schneider Electric sees a number of areas which align with these changes , such as the decentralisation of energy , and move towards increased renewables and onsite energy sources . Power plants will power organisations , but this energy will come from different sources , such as wind turbines , solar farms and renewable sources users have on their properties , in addition to dedicated energy supplies . This decentralisation of energy and change in the way energy is consumed has therefore led to the need for companies to become more proactive in terms of energy consumption .
Schneider Electric is also beginning to look at predictive energy usage with a number of customers , supporting them in responding to changes in energy demand and enabling consumers to acquire solar assets . Companies may want to sell energy to the grid , but there could be times when they may not generate enough energy to consume themselves , so they can buy energy through the grid . Dewis explains : “ With predictive analytics we are able to help companies and consumers understand how these changes might happen and ,
