The current electricity grid is outdated, inefficient, and vulnerable—single failures can leave thousands without power, and renewable energy is often wasted due to curtailment. This workshop explores these challenges, particularly the limits on Distributed Energy Resources (DER), and introduces EnergyNet, a decentralized energy network piloted in Sweden and now to be adapted for the U.S. EnergyNet connects microgrids across buildings, and importantly, across neighborhoods, using modular power electronics, software-controlled energy flows, and open protocols. Participants will learn how two buildings can share energy and allocate supply to meet demand, as well as how broader adoption creates a resilient, flexible, and renewable-ready grid. The workshop will showcase prototypes and case studies illustrating practical applications of EnergyNet in the United States. Attendees will see how EnergyNet mitigates peak ramping and reduces outages, while fostering energy abundance and local autonomy. Lessons from the Swedish pilot will be translated into actionable strategies for U.S. cities.
