⚖️ Wired for Tomorrow: The Impact of Regulation Regulation plays a pivotal role in the digitalisation of grids. Our report delves into how regulatory frameworks can either drive progress or stifle innovation. With the right regulatory support, DSOs can enhance their capabilities and efficiency, benefiting not just the operators but also customers and market players. The availability of operational data in IT systems can unleash the full potential of digital technologies, driving efficiency and innovation. Explore the regulatory landscape and its impact on grid digitalisation in our comprehensive report.

The Tetra 4 Platform is undeniably transformational for both vertical farming and building electrification. Imagine high-voltage (350V) electrical distribution that’s as easy to install as a video game console or router. For the electrical enthusiast: 1500W at 350V on an 18AWG wire with no conduit needed. Need to power a 30HP motor? Simply combine channels. AND communications are embedded in that same wire! I'm currently writing a white paper describing how it powers LEDs in a vertical farm. Spoiler alert: it reduces the cost of the electrical system from over $2M to around $800K, and it can be installed in a couple of weeks instead of months. It also eliminates hundreds of thousands of potential fail points. It’s absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to share this with the CEA and Building Decarbonization communities. Contact me if you'd like to schedule a deep dive! #verticalfarming #CEA #LL97 #BuildingElectrification #Heatpumps #LEDs
