Head of Policy chez smartEn Smart Energy Europe

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the 10th Copenhagen #EnergyInfrastructureForum. This marked smartEn Smart Energy Europe's first participation in the #EnergyIF, but it certainly won't be the last! The Flexible Demand Management Industry plays a crucial role in optimising the use of existing and future electricity grids through efficient and flexible consumers. Key topics discussed included distribution grid planning, anticipatory investment, smart grid indicators, and grid incentives through remuneration. Here are my key takeaways and contributions: ⚡️Efficient use of existing and future grids is urgent and essential. This should guide network planning, anticipatory investments, and grid remuneration decisions. ⚡️Distribution network development plans must go beyond meeting passive demand. They should encourage #DemandSideFlexibility as an alternative to system expansion, in line with Article 32 of the #Electricity Directive. This should be supported by the upcoming Network Code on demand response. ⚡️A comprehensive cost-benefit analysis comparing #CAPEX and #OPEX solutions, considering costs for consumers, implementation speed, and risks of stranded assets is crucial. ⚡️Involving market actors and consumers in grid planning is key. ⚡️ Regulators should enable efficient remuneration for system operators using a #TOTEX approach, considering both capital and operational costs equally. This should be complemented by performance targets for efficient network operations. 💡 For more insights, check out our recent publication on efficient and flexible consumers for smart electricity grids 👇 smartEn paper on Efficient and Flexible Consumers for Smart Electricity Grids https://lnkd.in/e6NKXjqe #EnergyIF #DemandResponse #SystemEfficiency smartEn Smart Energy Europe European Commission EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) Ricardo Renedo Williams
