Homes as Power Stations. Is this the future?

What is happening? Sweden is is transforming homes into highly efficient ‘prosumers’ – buildings which both produce and consume the vast majority of their own energy. 54% of Swedens power is renewable from hydropower and biomass.

Why is this important? In 1948 Sweden began using excess steam from power generation facilities to heat nearby buildings and roads through a series of underground pipes. Practicality is their nature.

How will this be important? Their politics might be quickly dismissed by some, but the data people think Sweden has managed to balance high carbon taxes with low energy rates to top the Forum’s Energy Transition Index
