Peer-to-Peer energy trading and community self-consumptionLeonardo ENERGY
Verena Tiefenbeck presented on a peer-to-peer energy trading project in Switzerland called Quartierstrom. The project involved 37 households and a retirement home trading solar energy locally using a blockchain-based system. Technical challenges were solved and the system almost doubled the community's self-consumption and self-sufficiency rates. Users engaged more actively than expected by setting price limits to buy and sell energy through a double auction mechanism run every 15 minutes. The project aims to evaluate the real-world feasibility of local peer-to-peer electricity markets.
The document discusses whether grid parity for solar photovoltaics is imminent based on learning curves and price trends. It notes that energy technology costs typically reduce 15-20% each time cumulative sales double. For solar to reach grid parity, costs must fall to around $2,857 per kilowatt based on typical electricity prices and annual yields. The document also examines market considerations and growth scenarios from industry groups that see solar contributing 1-9% of European electricity by 2030.
The document discusses digitalization of energy management and decentralized energy systems. It summarizes that increasing data volume is key to optimized energy management. Two major trends aiding this are electrification and digitalization to meet societal demands around issues like climate change and affordability. Examples provided include the Triangulum project transforming Manchester into a smart quarter using latest energy technologies and microgrids like one created at the University of Genoa campus.

The document discusses using artificial intelligence to create value in district heating. It provides background on NODA, an AI company, and VITO, a research institute. Digitalization is driving changes in energy through increased data collection and automated analysis. A digital heat network is defined as having many sensors, automated data handling, and using analysis for optimization rather than just billing. Examples of EU projects applying AI to district heating are described. NODA's system uses forecasting, planning, tracking and building agents to integrate buildings into smart thermal grids. The role of data, information and knowledge in AI systems is covered. In conclusion, district heating is seen as important for smart cities and sustainable energy through the use of intelligent energy services.
The document discusses the tension between policy makers and investors in energy markets. Policy makers aim to secure energy supplies and meet decarbonization goals affordably, while investors aim to earn returns by building the right plants. The mindset of policy makers has shifted from letting markets decide to more interventions. This has led to unintended consequences as policies interact in complex ways. The capacity mechanism intended to deliver capacity at lowest cost, but the market delivered more small-scale gas plants instead of larger CCGTs as policymakers expected. There is still expected to be a need for CCGTs through the 2030s, but policies risk suppressing their economics through over-reliance on other technologies, creating security issues if not addressed.
This document discusses the need for a smart, flexible energy system in the UK and actions being taken to enable it. Key points:

The Post-FIT reality: promising business models for photovoltaicRiccardo Battisti
The document discusses promising business models for photovoltaics (PV) in a post-incentive environment. It analyzes experiences from 7 countries and focuses on the primary PV market. New models combine self-consumption for energy savings with PV electricity supply through power purchase agreements and more active consumer involvement. While high self-consumption models are feasible, legislation must not hinder these new approaches. The document provides examples of viable PV projects for multi-family housing, public buildings, commercial facilities, and industrial sites. It also discusses the potential impact of legislative changes on project profitability.

Net Zero and the impact of electrificationTorainYang
This document summarizes the key drivers and investment needs for achieving net zero emissions in the UK. It finds that policy support, consumer demand, corporate demand, technology advances, and investor demand are strengthening global momentum for net zero goals. Major sectors like power, buildings, transport, and industry will require billions annually in investments. Electrification of heating and transport will increase power demand and require upgrades to generation, grids, flexibility sources, and demand management. Buildings will need heat pumps and on-site power. Transport will need widespread public and private electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Germany has continuously developed policies to foster the deployment of renewable energy sources through legislation like the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). The EEG provides long-term fixed prices or premiums for renewable electricity to incentivize investment. Recent amendments brought the EEG in line with EU state aid rules and introduced competitive auctions to determine support levels. Auctions have led to declining prices for solar and onshore wind. The legislation aims to balance cost efficiency, quantity control and stakeholder diversity in renewable energy deployment.

Interreg Europe ZEROCO2 regional policies report promoting energy efficiency ...Damien Gatt
The document summarizes policies and initiatives in Malta that promote energy efficiency and renewable energy. It discusses three key policies:
1) Feed-in tariffs and grants for photovoltaic installations that have supported significant growth in solar capacity but still require subsidies.
2) A grant scheme for solar water heaters that has seen declining participation due to cheaper photovoltaics and could be improved with revised incentives.
3) Grants for energy efficiency measures like double glazing and roof insulation that have had limited impact because they only cover some costs and do not prioritize the most effective solutions. The document suggests improvements like incentivizing packages of deep energy retrofitting measures tailored to building types.
The document discusses the impact of the Chinese PV industry on silicon markets. It notes that China's PV industry dominates global production, accounting for around 80% of its own domestic consumption. In May 2018, China announced major changes to its solar subsidy policies, which are expected to significantly reduce Chinese PV demand over the next few years. However, long-term global PV market growth is still expected to be strong due to falling costs and improving efficiency. The reduction in Chinese demand may temporarily impact magnesium silicon markets but robust demand from other regions and technology advances could mitigate the effects.
1) The REDIBA initiative provided technical and legal support to municipalities in Barcelona province to implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
2) Through REDIBA, 96 million euros was invested in 108 projects, far exceeding the initial 50 million euro target. This included 22 energy service company contracts totaling 61 million euros.
3) The projects are estimated to save over 52 million kWh of energy per year and reduce CO2 emissions by over 21,600 tons annually.
Winners and losers of end-use flexibility in the Norwegian energy systemIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes the findings of a study analyzing the impact of end-use flexibility on the Norwegian energy system. The study used an optimization model to evaluate two scenarios: Energy Nation with decentralized solutions and Nature Nation with centralized solutions. The study found that end-use flexibility from electric vehicle charging, hot water tanks, and batteries can reduce energy system costs by 8-5 billion euro annually by 2050 while lowering peak demand. However, it also reduces income for power producers by 0.5-1 billion euro. End-use flexibility shifts electricity use to times of high solar production and low prices, benefiting buildings and international electricity trade while negatively impacting power producers.
Solar PV Flyer - December 15 - update post DECCMichael Chapman
The solar PV market in the UK has grown significantly due to subsidies, but the government is now reducing subsidies dramatically and capping new projects in response to overspending. This is expected to lead to a short-term boom and then an 18-24 month downturn as most projects become unviable. In the long run, solar power costs are projected to fall further and allow recovery of the sector. Manufacturers may be impacted less due to operating globally, but UK installers face difficulties unless diversified.

Vocabulary • Nature Deficit Disorder~ A condition that some people maintain is a spreading affliction especially affecting youth but also their adult counterparts, characterized by an excessive lack of familiarity with the outdoors and the natural world. • Precautionary Principle~ The approach whereby any possible risk associated with the introduction of a new technology is largely avoided, until a full understanding of its impact on health, environment and other areas is available.
What is technology? • Brainstorm a list of technology that you use everyday that your parents or grandparents did not have. • Compare your list with a partner.
The modification of an existing product or the formulation of a new product to fill a newly identified market niche or customer need are both examples of product development. This study generally developed and conducted the formulation of aramang baked products enriched with malunggay conducted by the researchers. Specifically, it answered the acceptability level in terms of taste, texture, flavor, odor, and color also the overall acceptability of enriched aramang baked products. The study used the frequency distribution for evaluators to determine the acceptability of enriched aramang baked products enriched with malunggay. As per sensory evaluation conducted by the researchers, it was proven that aramang baked products enriched with malunggay was acceptable in terms of Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color, and Texture. Based on the results of sensory evaluation of enriched aramang baked products proven that three (3) treatments were all highly acceptable in terms of variable Odor, Taste, Flavor, Color and Textures conducted by the researchers.
Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

2. • Private consultancy company in the energy and environment field
• 20 years of activity
• More than 1,500 local, national and international projects
• 30 experts and 4 offices
• Role in PV Financing: National Implementation Partner for Italy
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
3. TOPICS
• PPA legislation and profitability
• Energy cost and electricity bill structure
• Case studies
• Future outlook
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
4. PPA LEGISLATION
• REMOVED! The PV plant should be installed in an area
owned (or managed) by the customer
• Only one final user, thus excluding many market
segments (commercial centres, airports, industrial parks,
office buildings and multi-family houses)
• Except for common loads
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
5. PPA PROFITABILITY
• Wholesale price is low (around 45 €/MWh)
• So self-consumption rate is a key profitability parameter
• Which sectors then?
– Industrial
– Commercial
– Office buildings
– Public buildings: Lower consumption and smaller size but reliable consumers
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
6. GRID ELECTRICITY COST
• For enterprises in 2016 (source: ENEA)
• Without taxes
• 20÷500 MWh/year: 180 €/MWh
• Up to 2,000 MWh/year: 164 €/MWh
• Up to 20,000 MWh/year: 145 €/MWh
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
9. L‘OREAL INDUSTRIAL PLANT
• 3 MWp PV plant
• Total yield: 3,600 MWh/year
• Specific yield: 1,200 kWh/year per kWp
• Self-consumption rate: 100%
• PV output: 30% of the total demand
Source: Qualenergia.it
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
10. L‘OREAL INDUSTRIAL PLANT
• Investment: 3,000,000 €
(about 1,000 €/kWp)
• Balance sheet finance, no debt
financing
• 20 years contract, including a “take or
pay” provision
• 10% savings with respect to grid price
• Investor also broker for the additional
energy demand of the factory
Source: Enersol

11. ARESE SHOPPING CENTRE
• 50% of the common loads covered by PV (1.4 MWp)
• Lighting and space cooling through heat pumps
• Also 2 cogeneration units
Source: Solar Frontier Europe
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
12. ARESE SHOPPING CENTRE
• Expected yield: 1,500 MWh/year
• Self-consumption rate: almost 100%

14. OUTLOOK
ELECTRICITY MARKET
• Reform of the electricity market is under consultation
• Expected (declared…) deadlines:
– Published May/June 2017
– Into force January 2018
• PV plants (with storage) could get revenues from additional grid
services (management of energy flows, frequency, voltage, etc.)
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
15. OUTLOOK
NON-RESIDENTIAL BILL
• Non-residential customers: Industrial, tertiary, agriculture
• 75% of the national consumption
• Reform currently under consultation
• Jan 2018…?
• System charges increase their capacity-based share…But how much?
• 5 scenarios: 10÷50% moved to the capacity-based share
• 3 of them drastically negative for PV (estimated cut of 4.5 billion
investments until 2030)
• The Energy Authority is oriented towards the 2 ‘positive’ ones
(estimated market decrease: 7÷12%)
• Capacity-based share of system charges could be 10÷30%
• Of course it is retroactive…
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
16. OUTLOOK
MULTIPLE USERS
• ‘Closed distribution systems’ (SDC): Private grids with multiple consumers
• They may be unlocked before the transposition of the EC ‘Winter Package’
• Petition (about 25,000 signatures) to the Prime Minister for amending the
‘Competition Law’ and including this topic
• View of the Regulatory Authority: SDCs should not be used for promoting
renewables and efficiency (this should be done through incentives) but
only when it is cheaper than the connection to the public grid
• In conflict with the EC ‘Winter Package’
• Positive opinion by the Authority for Competition and Market
@AI_AIP @PVFinancing
17. CONCLUSIONS
• PPA is a promising business model in Italy
• Especially in specific application segments (public buildings, large
industrial or commercial plants)
• Main risks are:
– Stability of user consumption (low wholesale price)
– Lower value of electricity savings with the new electricity bill
• Possible ‘compensations’:
– Additional revenues from grid services
– Multiple consumers reducing risk and unlocking new market segments
