A

new white paper from Navigant Research exam-

ines the critical issues facing cities and utilities

as they develop energy policies suited for the

21st century.

economic, environmental, social, and technological issues

facing the world today. There is increasing demand to move

to cleaner and more efficient energy resources to meet the

demands of an urban population that will expand by 2.4 bil-

tion sector will provide more diverse

opportunities, especially in areas such

as data management and environment

conservation,” Saeed said.
