The way communities are using technology is fast evolving, with an increase in electric vehicles and more and more people generating their own electricity. Like other electricity network companies, Aurora Energy needs to ensure our network and operating systems can adapt to enable the uptake of new technologies and integrate their operation to provide support to Aurora Energy’s network, and the wider power system.
