FEATURE: LIGHTING & ELECTRICAL
CHP systems in hotels, offices and factories, and using waste heat from data centres to heat swimming pools. New pressures on energy use have made investing in energy efficiency an important opportunity. By putting an end to wastage, improving insulation, upgrading to low- efficiency equipment, and just having equipment that turns off when not required, especially when supported by data technology, we can find new opportunities. Finally, when it comes to energy use, time has become a key factor in a way that it hasn’t been previously. As our new system is less controllable, there is an incentive to change demand to match supply rather than the other way round. This provides opportunities in demand-side response which involves persuading organisations and people to move their energy use away from peak times such as charging their EV overnight, doing the laundry on a Sunday or preheating homes before the 7am peak. Those that move their time of energy use are compensated with cheap and sometimes even free energy.
None of these opportunities could in any way be considered the definitive solution to the energy
transition, but they are all part of a solution and there are many more waiting to be found. These will come together to continue to make the energy transition happen, not as a single revolution, but as a million small revolutions all together.
Conclusion
Overall, while the industrial revolution brought about profound changes to human society, the global energy transition presents even greater complexities and challenges due to the interconnection of modern systems, technological diversity, globalisation, environmental concerns, social and cultural considerations, resource constraints, and the need for effective policy and regulatory frameworks. Addressing these complexities will require concerted efforts from various stakeholders across the world if we are to have a cleaner, well-functioning energy system by 2050, but will also release many new opportunities to benefit those who use them.

LUCECO SHINES THE SPOTLIGHT ON INSPECTION WORK LIGHTS
Luceco’s wide range of inspection work lights provide reliable, high quality, innovative lighting tools for all trade and recreational uses. The new Flexible Head Torch
