When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Upstream of the smart energy systems are the generation plants,
historically based on conventional centralised generation facilities –
coal, gas, nuclear and hydroelectric power – gradually evolving toward
decentralised renewable power generation facilities: wind power,
solar heating and photovoltaic power, geothermal power, tidal power
and fuel cells.
Looks like a translation of your text!

before smart energy systems
The smart energy systems are yet to be built – thus this white paper proposing them.

: Indeed (or construct it with "preceding/prior to"). Simple language, instead of buzz.

Thank you. (IMO, the white paper is full of buzz.)
