81 production facilities. This will require an internet-based control system in which we have billions of suppliers of energy, billions of capacity providers and billions of consumers of energy. Who will build this intelligent network, develop the architecture and provide all the neces- sary services and applications? The energy companies, the network operators, the car manufacturers, the soft- ware providers or IT companies, the logistic companies or the building industry? Most certainly it will be a combi- nation of all these industries and new companies. How does such a future sustainable energy system physically look? What will be the changes in our landscape, cities, neighbourhoods, houses, offices, schools, shopping malls and roads? How will we organize such a system? Which products, systems and services will be delivered by whom and what type of regulation is necessary? Of course we cannot predict or design the future but we can give some views about what it might look like.
