  1. MEETING THE ENERGY DEMAND Towardsdecentralisedenergysystems Dr. Winfried Hoffmann President EPIA Member of the SupervisoryBoard of SMA SolarTechnology AG and Management Representative to the EPIA

  2. Current Situation 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) ~=~ 50TWh (annualenergy)

  3. Challenge • 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 TSO/DSO Aggregator

  4. What is needed • 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!
