However, it is surprising that utilities in the same survey do not put a greater priority on customer engagement.<\/li>\n<li>On storage, respondents see an increasing emphasis toward actual projects, and less on the physics and technology of storage. DER vendors now offer better systems intelligence and grid integration to companies focused on building a next-generation power grid (more sustainable and more resilient). Energy storage is now living up to the hype, having seen record installations in 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"margin-top:2em;\">\r\n      Shortlink:\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/gtm\/\">https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/gtm\/<\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"eebsocial\" style=\"margin-top:1em;\">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/twitter-32.png\" title=\"Tweet this link\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/facebook-32.png\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=https%3A%2F%2F&title=GTM Squared Report\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/linkedin-32.png\" title=\"Share on LinkedIn\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https%3A%2F%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/whatsapp-32.png\" title=\"Share on WhatsApp\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2F&media=&description=GTM Squared Report\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/pinterest-32.png\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2F&title=GTM Squared Report\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/reddit-32.png\" title=\"Share on Reddit\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/share\/url?url=https%3A%2F%2F&text=GTM Squared Report\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/telegram-32.png\" title=\"Share on Telegram\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/tiktok-32.png\" title=\"Share on TikTok\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2F\" target=\"_blank\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/benoit.marcoux.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-url-shorten\/\/icons\/instagram-32.png\" title=\"Share on Instagram\" alt=\"\" \/>\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\n    \r\n   \r\n  <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished reading the\u00a0annual survey of utilities prepared by GTM Squared (http:\/\/www.greentechmedia.com\/squared\/read\/annual-survey-report-2016-the-future-of-global-electricity-systems).
