Abstract

With the aim to contribute to the debate on the interconnections among sustainability and technology, the chapter focuses the attention on the topic of smart grids as an example of technological innovation useful in supporting the achievement of sustainability aims. In such a line, smart grids are analyzed as systems able to connect several actors by supporting more efficient information sharing directly to ensure a sustainable use of the available resources.
