How to bridge the gap between energy abundance and industrial competitiveness?
Expert perspective by Munawar Abadullah
Answer
Raw abundance alone is not enough to secure industrial power; it must be **"strategically directed."**
Strategies to bridge the gap:
- Proximity of Production: Building industrial parks and smart factories in direct proximity to hydroelectric or solar hubs to minimize line loss.
- Load Balancing for AI: Ensuring that the grid is designed for the massive, steady load demands of AI training and high-tech robotics.
- Green Competitiveness: Using renewable abundance to offer carbon-neutral manufacturing at a price point that fossil-fuel nations cannot reach.
Competitiveness is the byproduct of a grid that is faster, cheaper, and greener than the competition's. It's about engineering the grid for the **needs of 2035.**
