Case study for enabling net metering as a means of broadening a nations energy mix and facilitating increased investment in the renewable energy sector
Implementing Net Metering in the Developing WorldRuchir Punjabi
Distributed Energy (www.de.energy) is a platform to match investors with renewable energy projects. We are always looking for ways to promote renewable energy growth in developing countries. This Powerpoint was prepared as a case study to promote the implementation of net metering in a particular country and examines its feasibility as an enabling policy and to what extent it is designed to foster private investment in renewable energy and broaden the nation’s energy mix. The case study examines and provides evidence to support the implementation of net metering and puts forward a convincing case from an economic, social and environmental standpoint. Country-specific references further indicate how net metering has helped respective countries achieve their energy targets and facilitated a transition towards clean energy.
Renewable Energy Act of 2008: Hits and Misses for the Philippine Geothermal I...Fernando Penarroyo
The enactment of the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (“RE Act”) and its implementing rules and regulations was expected to open the way for the entry of risk capital in geothermal exploration, development and utilization. The Department of Energy (“DOE”) admitted that progress on implementing support systems for renewable energy development in the power sector has been hobbled by delays. The Philippine government initiated major structural reforms in the geothermal industry sector by undertaking the privatisation of geothermal generating assets and divesting its interests in the state-owned geothermal development company. Like in any resource development project, the Philippine government needs to address issues related to the complicated approval and permitting process to reduce and expedite procedures particularly in foreign ownership, land use, environment and social acceptability regulations. Needless to say, streamlining the permit process by government regulators will have an impact on geothermal development, as shorter project periods would reduce uncertainty for policy and market dynamics when modelling economic returns. As geothermal projects are characterized by significant upfront capital investment for exploration, well drilling, and the installation of plant and equipment, the DOE must develop publicly available database protocols and tools for geothermal resource assessments to facilitate access by developers to risk capital. Government regulators must also develop guidelines for the inclusion of non-conventional and leading edge geothermal technologies in the setting up of feed-in tariff rates. Risk mitigation instruments like risk guarantee schemes and geologic risk insurance will also encourage investments in geothermal exploration.

With a population of almost 100 million people and annual economic growth averaging between 6 to 7%, the Philippines’ is anticipated to continue to have a robust energy demand. The Government’s refusal to subsidize power, heavy reliance on expensive fossil fuel imports, and added transmission cost because of the country’s archipelagic configuration have resulted in electricity prices being among the highest in the world. Thus, renewable energy projects present a viable business opportunity to resource developers.
The business community believes that the introduction of retail competition and open access is the logical move to bring the power industry to the next level and establish a competitive market structure. There is a need to further diversify the energy mix and the government is banking on renewable energy to wean the country from its dependence on fossil fuel. The government through the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 (“RE Act”) sought to address the issues on the absence of a ready and guaranteed market for the output of RE power plants and the recovery of investments through electricity tariffs.

Presentations concentrated on best cases in demand side management and regulation easing the way for DSM programs. The event was organised by noe21, a Geneva based NGO.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) can provide net benefits to the electric system (e.g., congestion relief) and broader society (e.g., emission reductions). However, despite these advantages, the deployment of high penetrations of DER has proved challenging. Against this backdrop, the electric utility is often singled out as a fundamental barrier to deployment of DER assets. To overcome the perceived electric utility shortcomings, many stakeholders conclude that a completely new model is needed for the electric industry.
ScottMadden disagrees with this assessment and instead believes electric utilities maintain natural advantages that can be leveraged to deploy renewables and DER assets as well or better than some models being offered. In our 51st Phase II Roadmap, ScottMadden proposes leveraging the natural advantages of the electric utility in order to accelerate the deployment and penetration of DER assets.

Many remote areas and islands (RAI) are deploying renewable energy (RE), some with ambitious plans to meet 100% of their electricity or even final energy needs with renewables. For most of them, roof-top PV systems offer clear advantages but most of their deployment potential still remains largely untapped. The setup of consistent prosumer policies can provide a means to achieve the islands’ objectives faster and with lower costs to society.
This report provides guidance to policy makers on the drivers, opportunities, challenges and implementation strategies of PV prosumer policies that can be considered within a comprehensive renewable energy strategy for RAI. It is based on the frameworks and methodologies developed on the IEA-RETD publications RE-PROSUMERS (2014) and REMOTE (2012).
The preliminary results were presented at the IRENA Island conference in Martinique in July 2015, see presentation slides.

Overview of Utility Challenges and Responses to Distributed Solar EnergyScottMadden, Inc.
Utility planning is changing with the rapid growth of distributed solar in certain markets. Over the long term, market fundamentals favor the continued growth of distributed solar energy. This will access business and operational challenges for utilities. This insight outlines strategies utilities can deploy to successfully incorporate distributed solar energy into their business model or generation portfolio.
Climate Policy Initiative's analysis shows that states can see greater cost savings by making a long-term commitment to clean energy. New business models - with help from policy - can make clean energy the lowest cost solution. In addition, there are state-level policy options to reduce the risk of stranding fossil fuel power plants.

Case Study: Blockchain as the Foundation of Alectra's Grid Exchange Transacti...Jill Kirkpatrick
Alectra Utilities is leveraging blockchain technologies to develop GridExchange, a platform for transactive energy that allows its users to create new energy markets, as well as bidding into existing ones.
Behavior changes are set based on homeowner preferences for use of their distributed energy resources. The platform also creates statistics on customer energy usage and validates participation in these energy markets, confirming settlement when compensation for energy services has been paid.
As a result, users are empowered with greater choices, control and autonomy to buy, consume, and sell energy, and the utility improves reliability and forecasting by gaining visibility of energy usage patterns and changing behaviors.
Andrew Ritch: Interruption in the Utility IndustryEnergyTech2015

INTERRUPTION IN THE UTILITY INDUSTRY?
Track 1 Session 1
Electricity markets are experiencing fundamental changes because of solar, wind, electric vehicles, energy efficiency programs, storage and other forms of distributed generation that may be intermittent or require changes/upgrades to the electric grid. There is also an increase in the availability of smart meters and other devices that can help customers control their electric demand and usage. As a result, demand is less predictable and more volatile. This change also creates challenges for transmission and distribution for all load serving entities, even with new real-time data availability and grid visibility. What technological, regulatory, and/or policy changes are needed in the short term and longer term to keep pace? What will these changes mean for reliability? How will the traditional utility model change in the coming years?

2) What are the key critical success factors that relate to the development of an energy storage project ?
3) Is there a greenfield pipeline of bankable projects?
4) Who is likely to finance these assets?

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Why is Net Metering particularly suitable for so-called
emerging countries?
Unable to meet the
energy demand
because of insufficient
generation capacities in
particular during peak
hours
High grid electricity
prices, declining solar
PV costs improves cost
competitiveness –
providing the rationale
for net-metering
Increased
Government led
policies facilitating
renewable energy
generation and
sustainable
development
In countries with large
solar potential & ambitious
renewable energy targets,
rooftop solar is being
looked at as a major
means to achieve a
significant portion of the
RE targets

How will Net Metering fit within a traditional grid model?
§ Net Metering Programs - encourage
renewable growth, clean energy
investments. Net Metering schemes
have proved to be effective to jump-
start distributed generation markets.
§ Implementation of a well designed
decoupling mechanism that will
encourage utilities to promote
energy efficiency, competitive pricing
and distributed generation
technologies.
§ Increasing RE portion in the
electricity mix

Relevance of Net Metering in Country X
SWOT Analysis
§ Increased generation capacity
§ Improved access to energy ( clean and modern source)
§ Diversification of the energy mix; on the long term: more
decentralized generation with less dependence on a few big power
plants ( increase of network stability), requires less transmission
capacity
§ Promotion of small-scale private investment
§ Increase in building value
§ Strengthening the solar sector / job creation
Strengths Weaknesses
§ Reduced profit for the distribution company (but: depends on their
own generation cost and tariff level)
§ Associated administrative costs (adaptation of customer
management)
§ Possible technical constraints
§ Urban growth
§ String sunshine
§ Dependency on Imports / Supply instability
§ Inability to invest in new large-scale power plants
§ Service improvement objectives (e.g. Electricity access / Electrical
losses / Load shedding)
§ Political objectives (Renewable energy development and Sustainable
City)
§ Decrease of PV equipment cost
§ More and more experience feedback
Opportunities Threats
§ Political instability
§ Inappropriate regulation
§ Lobbying of distribution companies
§ Inefficient data management system
§ Poor coordination / Lack of skills of actors
§ Inability of client to invest (limited access to investment funds)
§ Availability of new low-cost fossil energy source

The Economic Case to be made for Net Metering
The economic case is primarily
built on the fact that certain
renewable energy generation
costs have reached, or will
shortly reach, grid parity in many
emerging countries.
10. Confidential - Distributed Energy Pte Ltd
The Regulatory / Policy Case to be made for Net Metering
For the energy authorities in Country X, the regulatory/policy case is based on the following reasons
Complimentary to
feed-in tariffs, RPS
and a wider array of
key energy incentives
that will promote RE
growth
Increased renewable
energy generation =
savings on fuel
imports, job creation
and carbon financing
options
Decentralized
generation and
modern inverters
can assist in
stabilizing the grid
Unable to meet the
energy demand
because of
insufficient generation
capacities in
particular during peak

Net Metering in USA
§ As of July 2016, 41 states have mandatory NEM policies.
§ By 2018, renewable energy accounted for 18% of the country’s electricity generation.
§ Solar generation (including distributed) is projected to climb from 11 percent of total U.S. renewable generation in 2017 to
48 percent by 2050, making it the fastest-growing electricity source

NEM Lessons Learned - Case Study - Arizona
Initial NEM Policy Current NEM Policy Future
*Rooftop solar customers can choose from four rate design options that include a time–of-use rate plan with a grid access charge or a demand-based rate plan
without a grid access charge. The settlement does not include a mandatory demand charge
§ Under previous NEM policy,
customers were credited full retail
rate ($0. 13-$0. 14/kWh).
§ Utilities and other rate payers
argued that a full NEM retail rate
resulted in a cost shift.
§ In march 2017, Arizona Public
Service Co. and a Group of solar
interests filed a settlement on rate
design and rooftop solar
compensation with the Arizona
corporation commission, following
years of contentions debate
§ Under the new agreement, the
rooftop solar customer will be paid
$0.129/kWh for excess energy
exported to the grid. * Export rate
will fall 10% annually, but
customers will lock in rates for 10
years at sign up.
§ Solar energy consumed by end
users valued at ~$0.105/kWh, with
a lower rate for demand charge rate
options, likely in the $0. 096-
$0.078/kWh range.
§ New settlement includes a 20-years
grandfathering period for customers
who file for interconnection before
rate case decision.
§ This deal being passed has given
distributed generators, especially
the solar industry, economic clarity
when building new projects.
§ After years of disagreement,
Arizona utilities and solar backers
seem to agree on this settlement

Success Factors for Net-metering
Net-metering should form part of overall policy and planning, providing clear market signals
Energy regulations must make provision for net-metering, clearly setting out the energy sources
& technologies
Utilities that will be affected by net-metering should agree to accept and "buy" electricity
generated by net-metered systems
Technical capacity is needed, both at regulatory and utility level, to ensure the proper application
and management of net-metering standards
Regulatory authorities need to have the capacity to ensure that net-metering policies and
regulations are properly implemented
21. Confidential - Distributed Energy Pte Ltd
Roadmap – Framework for Implementation of Net Metering
§ Start simple - start with studies followed
by a pilot phase
§ Adapt regulatory framework as the
number of prosumers increases
§ Be clear and precise - detail the
conditions of eligibility, the connection
procedure, the responsibilities of each
§ Simplify administrative procedures as
much as possible
§ Strengthen distribution companies’ skills
§ Optimize the compensation scheme
§ Only compensate the injected energy
§ Ensure the payment of taxes on electricity
consumption
§ Prevent customers from becoming IPP
§ Monitor the implementation of laws
22. Confidential - Distributed Energy Pte Ltd
Proof of Concept - Where to start
§ Priority on developing domestic power generation capacity by promoting development of renewable energy sources
that will facilitate increased availability of energy services
§ Net-metering development can be split into two phases
§ To those whose investment capacities are relatively high
§ To every type of user
§ Proof of concept to scale up – the capital of Country X inhabits about one-tenth of the country’s population, has the
largest concentration of economic activity and consumes almost 50% of total electricity in the country

Other considerations to accelerate renewable market -
Accelerated Depreciation
Case study - USA - modified accelerated cost
recovery system (MACRS)
Established in 1986, MACRS has assigned a five-year useful life to most
renewable energy property
IMPACT
§ Reduction in tax liability
§ Accelerates rate of return on RE projects - significant driver for solar industry
§ Lower consumer electricity costs, create high-paying jobs, enhance energy
independence, reduction in GHG emission
§ Encouraged and facilitated greater private investments into RE technology
CONCLUSIONS
§ Replacing MACRS with linear depreciation reduces investor return by nearly 25%
§ Reduces time period of capital expenditure recovery.
§ Faster return on capital means lower risk premium and reduction in returns
requirement to make new RE projects attractive
§ MACRS offer an important hedge against interest rate risk – leveraging the
federal financing advantage to facilitate private investment
§ Encourage local companies to make new investments in RE technology
