MEETING THE ENERGY DEMANDTowards decentralised energy systems
Dr. Winfried HoffmannPresident EPIAMember of the Supervisory Board of
SMA Solar Technology AG and Management Representative to the EPIA
Current Situation
2
Decentralised energy systems are nothing new
Solar and Wind capacity additions exceeded any other
LCOE of wind AND solar below 10 €ct/kWh
PV + wind = 28,4 GW (power) ~=~ 50 TWh (annual energy)
Challenge
3
•
•Absence of real competitive retail electricity markets (regulated prices)
• Household consumers still too passive
• Intelligent investments needed at the distribution level
• Discussion about grid and market integration challenges focusing too much on a top-down approach
Aggregator
TSO/DSO
What is needed
•
1. Empower consumers • Through self-consumption of PV electricity• Develop Time-of-use electricity tariffs• Deploy enablers: DSM, storage, smart meters
2. Unlock the potential of aggregation
3. Take a fresh look on how to manage distribution grids• Better investment planning strategies• Use capabilities of micro-generators in system operation• Increase visibility on DER
4. A 2030 binding RES target• Will be needed to drive the systemic transition• Low Carbon-only approach will not deliver the necessary signals!
