Science of the Electric Grid – Video

Summary

Expanding the electric grid can bring electricity to people that don’t have access to it. This requires generators, powerlines, and payment systems. Most of the rapidly growing urban centers around the world will receive energy from the electric grid.

It could take years for grid electricity to reach millions of people living in rural areas, so small solar panels, batteries, and efficient electronics are becoming a solution that is affordable and available to people living off the grid.
