Outageshaveincreasedby124%intheU.S.overthepasttwodecades

U.S. utilities experience peak demand just 2% of the yearbut incur

15% of their annual costs on these days

There will be 1 million EV chargers

in the US by 2015

Developing countries' share of global electricity demand is

projected to jump from 27% in 2000 to 43% in 2030
