What’s Holding Us Back?
At Quioveo Energy we have identified three key pressure points that are holding back renewables from becoming more widely adopted.
CENTRALIZED
100+ YEAROLD GRID
The old, centralized grid lacks resiliency, and favors carbon-based producers. It’s not nimble enough for renewables and there are few incentives for the entrenched shareholder-owned entities to reconfigure it.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF RENEWABLES
Renewable sources of energy have been characterized as being intermittent, unreliable, limited by geography, and historically not economically competitive against carbon-based energy sources.
LACK OF COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
The lack of community engagement in the energy sector is because it’s hard for the average person to connect the dots between climate change, energy use, renewables, and the grid.
