The Importance of Nanogrids in low-carbon residential communities

Whisper Valley is a large residential development in Texas, USA, that combines a community-wide geothermal energy grid with solar photovoltaic generation and advanced battery storage and management technologies to deliver zero-energy-capable homes. This development signal a fundamental change in energy supply for Texas consumers!

“Whisper Valley is a large residential development in Texas, USA, that combines a community-wide

geothermal energy grid with solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and advanced battery storage and

management technologies to deliver zero-energy-capable homes. This development, and others,

signals a fundamental change to energy supply for domestic consumers. Industry forecasts suggest that,

by 2030, consumers will be investing more money in grid-edge devices (solar PV, batteries, charging

stations, electric vehicles, and smart controls) than electric utilities will invest in power generation and

electricity grids. Its involvement with projects such as Whisper Valley shows how Shell is seeking to

influence and enable this shift…”
