Energy market change

Today’s utilities are facing many challenges and a fast-changing market environment

5

Decarbonization Global and Local Climate Agreements Digitalization Electrification Integrated Energy Decentralization Affordable Renewable energy

Prosumers

People produce and consume their own power with PV +

• storage. Future utilities have to

provide new products

Energy Services

Customers will prefer clean and affordable energy services instead of only kWh

Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

Decentralized ownership structures for renewable energy systems. Future utilities have to connect a large number of different participants

Increasing Volatility

High penetration of renewables increases volatitlity on the production side which affects energy prices

System Operators

Due to decentralization, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will likely gain in importance vs. Transmission System Operators (TSOs)

Decreasing Grid Service Capacities

Since conventional power plants are disconnected from the grid, grid service capacities will decrease while demand increases due to higher volatility

Flexibility is King

Bringing flexibility into production, consumption and the grid will enable attractive revenue streams

Data Access

Assets like the sonnenBatterie or Smart Meters will provide a large amount of data, which can be used for attractive new business models

sonnenCommunity

The first of its kind digital and decentralized P2P Energy Sharing Community for end customers

• Prosumers, producers and consumers form a virtual

electricity pool. VPP software aggregating small-scale assets and balancing supply & demand within Community

• Residual power needed by members is bought

directly from third-party renewable energy producers

• If necessary, VPP software uses the Spot Market

(Day Ahead or Intraday) to buy or sell residual power

• sonnenCommunity gives power a face – sonnen is

the first company adding emotional value to the commodity product “power“ giving real transparency

• Capture energy transactions and explore the

possibilities of secure energy trading
