There are indeed some very interesting technologies developing when it comes to storage:
Futures Forum: New battery technology to change the energy infrastructure

And when it comes to renewable energy:
Futures Forum: “Solar energy has a very broad implication. It falls over the entire earth. It’s very decentralized. If energy can be picked up from any point on the Earth, it suggests to you that you don’t need central mechanisms; that you can produce important things at a local level.” Thus “the Sun says ‘freedom.’ ”

All of which is challenging 'the Big Four':
Futures Forum: "Energy economics are changing rapidly and so the momentum is towards decentralised, smart and flexible energy systems."
