Enablers:

1. Global government impact.
2. Industry sector awareness.
3. Tighten upgrading, maintaining aging energy infrastructure.
4. Adpot the new technology for building more efficient energy infrasturcture.
5. Tighten regulations that kind of force maintains/updates aging energy infrastructure.
6. Do public/private partnerships.

Inhibitors:

1. Short term making profit target, through using the exciting aging infrastructure.
2. Lack of commitment to maintain exciting energy.

Paradigms:

Experts:

- Harvard Business Review articles.
- International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology.
- Guidance on Energy Transmission Infrastructure and EU nature legislation

Timing:

- Also in the USA, the yearly spending on distribution systems grew by 54%.
- As mentioned in EU nature legislation under Infrastructure challenges: The grids must also be extended and upgraded to foster market integration and maintain the existing levels of system security, but especially to transport and balance electricity generated from renewable sources, which is expected to more than double in the period 2007-2020.
