Mannheim is creating a “smart power grid” to eliminate energy waste

Power grids work much the same way wherever you go and all of them are incredibly wasteful. However, a city in Germany by the name of Mannheim wants to take that fabled German efficiency and apply it to power grid in a program it calls the “Model City of Mannheim.” The program essentially creates a “smart grid” that maximizes power efficiency to reduce waste and prioritizes renewable energy.
