Tnx, I wasn't aware of this context.

Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste

I don't really understand this recurring theme in this context, Can someone explain to me why this is relevant?

Afaik, this isn't a discussion in my country, since most people (should) know that already. This article triggered me, beacuse I want to lower my personal energy usage. Many companies in Europe who were energy wasteful and high energy users (like some chemical, steel, or aluminium plants) needed to close after the Russian invasion in 2022 and the then extreem high energy prices. Those that survived, are still struggling to this day.

What was the source of that energy loss?

No idea tbh. I tried to figure it out myself first, then I had two electricians independently checking it.

And their conclusion was that they didn't know, and that the 5% was sort of normal. I even had my electricity meter recalibrated by the grid company. I was afraid somone was taping, but no.. It still could've been the electricity meter ( which was like only 10 yo, I looked up its specs and readings). Humidity, Magnetism and Radio signals might effect the readings, under circumstances. So to be" safe", I have now a newer smart electricicity meter.

I had my old house tested ( after I mostly had it all rewired), by various electricians for energy losses. And they claimed that there was always some unaccountable energy loss ( 5% iirc).

Even if it is, this pales in comparison to corporate energy use.

Yeah I agree, I later saw that the article focuses on households, which usually account for like 20% of a countries energy usage.

Honestly, I associated the articles headline and photo to energy losses in the Grid by keeping energy online. So Grid losses, and the application of smart grid functions will save way more then 5% of a ca 20% household energy usage. In this article they talk about a 4-5% overall country gain, for example

Anyone who can confirm if these figures are correct?

using smarttube. works fine 4 me

Subject is relevant and interesting, as I was exploring the increased polarisation, and reached similar conclusions. It hit me hard, so I'll check it out later.

tnx4 sharing

nicely done.

In the USA there are silly rules that you can only get 120% capacity of your last years worth grid consumption as solar installed.

Yes , I can see how that impacts the process. indeed checking the rules and doing some prior info digging is essential.

It's also important to check whether solar overcacity is worthwhile in the UsA. Her3 it is not( anymore).

I believe it would attribute to cheaper of free energy and to more peace. I am agreeing with you.

And I imagined a all encompassing " worldgrid" across all continents and islands. We did it with phone networks, now we should do energy.
