[…] There are several trends, and some other disruptions, threatening the cozy Crown utility model, and are already upending the entire staid, stodgy sector. One is decentralization: smaller facilities, some using abundant and relatively cheap natural gas, are making inroads. In some locations, small solar micro-grids and energy storage already make sense, just as autonomous power alternatives make sense for larger commercial or institutional customers. Fuel cells that use natural gas or biogas are finding clientele. Other customers or competitors are generating power from waste material or waste heat. […]
