| Description: |
The
objective of this project is the removal of a number of the policy,
commercial and regulatory barriers that are currently restricting
the uptake of distributed generation (DG) and renewable energy
systems (RES) in Europe. This supports European Union policies
in the field of energy such as those laid down in the Green Paper
on Security of Energy Supply, the Renewable Energy Directive and
the Buildings Directive. To achieve this, the project will address
the barriers to DG and RES in the following key areas:
- Interconnection
- Certification
and authorisation
- Charging
mechanisms, planning procedures and metering
- Commercial
value
- Energy
efficiency and demand side management
The
prime results and outcomes of this project will be:
- Detailed
recommendations for the definition of an EU interconnection
standard for DG and RES.
- Detailed
EU policy guidelines regarding the following key issues: connection
charges, stranded cost charges, ownership and control of DG/RES
equipment, and net metering & feed-in tariffs.
- Recommendations
for new commercial mechanisms reflecting the total value of
Local Electricity Production (LEP), particularly in relation
to overall system reliability and emissions.
- Detailed
policy recommendations that will support the Buildings Directive
through the deployment of LEP.
- Detailed
recommendations for a generic EU certification and authorisation
procedure applicable to LEP of different kinds (I.e. conventional
fossil-fuel based systems as well as renewable energy sources).
- A
thorough understanding in Europe of LEP and its use and benefits
in the EU electricity system.
