EU energy policy strong drivers, different from other markets Competitiveness A lowcarbon economy by 2050 The European solution Unbundling between competition and regulated business Smart Grids are needed to reach the EU objectives cost-efficient solutions Security of supply Climate/ Environment Subsidies for RES national, non-market based the strongest driver
EU energy policy investment needs Total investment needs in the electricity and gas sector 2010-20: over 1 trillion EUR Power generation ~ 500 bn Transmission and distribution ~ 600 bn RES ~ 310 370 bn Distribution ~ 400 bn Transmission ~ 200 bn Source: EC communication on Energy Infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond, 17.11.2011 based on PRIMES calculations
New Energy Europe evolving DSO role Generation Transmission Distribution Customer Strong impact at local level Vast amounts of distributed energy Empowering consumers, Active demand/smart metering, and communication Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure Changes the distribution network From radial to complex Reverse energy flows Extreme flexibility needs Highlights the need for Local balancing and energy storage Communication, open data interfaces Market facilitation

Boundaries DSO and Market Open data access Grid data hub Customer Supplier ESCO Aggregator Planning, operation, market facilitation Other service provider Network assets DSO Market
Boundaries DSO and TSO network codes Adequate standards instead of DSO responsibility to control network code compliance of distributed generation and demand units One connection point DSO-TSO No duplication on operational security No duplication on communication systems TSO-DSO Secure and cost-efficient solutions when providing reserves to the TSO Positively received by ACER
Electric Vehicle charging Passenger transport Truly interoperable EV charging infrastructures allowing all electric vehicles to be charged and to communicate with the electricity grid anywhere in the EU Transport European CO2 emissions Chicken and egg: no business case no charging spots no cars EV charging as any other electricity demand into the DSO s network management systems Direct DSO involvement in the management of the charging infrastructure (where regulation allows this) Alternative fuels infrastructure directive
Developing Smart Grids Huge challenges Smart Grids = solution Strong EU policy drivers local impact huge flexibility needs Liberalised electricity markets market prices Defined roles and responsibilities system operation, DSO-Market, DSO-TSO A level playing field for market players DSO as the neutral market facilitator grid data managed and stored by the DSO Open and standardised data interfaces and protocols (data security) Shared knowledge Large scale demonstrators, public co-funding to test solutions at an early stage National regulatory incentives for DSOs to invest in Smart Grids, including RD&D European/global interoperability standards
