Bert Lutje Berenbroek
NET2GRID
''In the future, energy retailers as we know them now will be gone. You have to be a lifestyle provider and energy data is building the part of the digital lifestyle of the future. And DSO’s should follow this path, too. As an energy retailer and provider, you have to become a lifestyle provider to survive and thrive in a low margin energy sector.''
