4. Traditional
Infrastructure
Planning
Satisfy demand cost-effectively
Select large, centralized solutions
1. Does current supply = demand?
2. Any supply capacity to be retired?
3. Forecast future demand?
4. New supply capacity needed?
5. Which supply type?
6. How finance?
7. Where site new facilities?
Does this approach
still make sense?
9. Implications
• Reinvestment not
growth
– Take advantage of
technological change
• Rebalance portfolios
– Need some criteria
• Restructure value
chains
– Add value
10. Scale vs Efficiency
• Demand = Population x Services x Efficiency
= Population x (Technology/Person) x
(Demand/Technology)
• Supply = Sites x Capacity x Efficiency
= Sites x (Technology/Site) x (Supply/Technology)

13. Embrace technological changes
• Smarter grid
• Distributed generation
• Efficient end
uses, smarter buildings
• DC’s re-emergence
• Electrification of
transportation
• Cheaper natural gas
(due to extraction
technology)
