This Ericsson white paper envisions the 2030 energy system, where electrification and renewables drive demand for resilient, intelligent grids supported by advanced ICT. Utilities must manage decentralized generation, EV adoption, and fluctuating loads while ensuring reliability and sustainability. ICT enables real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and automated control across distributed assets, enhancing efficiency and flexibility. The paper emphasizes digital twins, AI, and edge computing for grid optimization, along with 5G and cloud to connect billions of devices securely. By adopting data-driven, interoperable platforms, utilities can balance energy security, affordability, and sustainability in the transition to a net-zero future.
