- Those under the age of 55 (85 percent) are more likely to read the news online than 55+ (72 percent).

- Virtually all Hispanics with a college degree (97 percent) read the news while online at least once per month.

Almost eighty percent (79 percent) of Hispanics are turning to the internet to research products and they are not just researching, they are buying. While online over half of U.S. Hispanics (53 percent) make a purchase at least once a month.

Digital Grids Reshape the Future of Electricity

What was once a simple, unidirectional flow of electricity from centralized power plants to passive consumers is evolving into a complex, intelligent network where millions of distributed resources actively participate in grid operations. This transformation, powered by smart grid technologies, represents one of the most significant infrastructure shifts of our time. It promises to reshape how we generate, distribute, and consume energy. At its core, the smart grid represents far more than mere digitization of existing infrastructure.  This bi-directional capability is fundamental to understanding why smart grids are becoming the backbone of modern energy systems, facilitating everything from real-time demand response to the integration of renewable energy sources. Smart Grid Market Development By 2030, smart grid technologies are projected to cover nearly half of the global electrical grid, up dramatically from just 24 percent in 2025. This expansion is underpinned by explosive gr...
