UK Regulatory Sandboxes: Banister House

UK Regulatory Sandbox Case Study: Banister House Evaluation

Background

• Concept derived from world of software development
• Used in other countries - US
• Allows new code to be tested in a ‘ring fenced setting, without

affecting the operations and safety of the wider system’

Regulatory Sandboxes

Ofgem introduced the Regulatory Sandbox in February 2017

“The regulatory sandbox allows Innovators to trial new products, Services and business models In a real world environment without Some of the usual rules applying”

UK – Energy Sector

Temporary flexibility from regulatory requirements Support to start ups, local councils and community

• rganisations

Project focused Advice Enabler of Innovation

Case Study: Banister House

Companies

• Verv
• Repowering London
• British Gas
• Powervault

Aim

• Through digital platforms

such as distributed ledgers the trial hopes to:

• Increase customer

engagement with their energy use

• Maximise benefits of

local solar generation as well as solar asset post FIT

• Improve concerns of

impact of DER on the grid Distributed Ledger

• The trial tests peer to

peer electricity trading using the distributed ledger platform (blockchain)

• Energy from solar will be

traded on Verv’s software platform Caveats

• The solar panels

currently receive the UK’s feed in tariff subsidy

• This pays for both solar

generation as well as for electricity exported

• The trial requires the

export tariff to be opted

• ut of, however, all

participants will be able to opt back in at the end

• f it

Assets: solar PV, storage, smart hubs, distributed ledger Excess solar PV generation used to lower residents electricity bills through blockchain enabled peer to peer electricity trading First UK physical peer to peer trading took place 2018

Evaluation

Insight

Popular and Ongoing Advice more often needed than regulation derogations Most derogations involve innovators supply electricity to customers, as a supply license is costly and complex to set up

Opportunity

Ofgem’s Regulatory Sandbox facilitated the trialling of peer to peer energy trading through Blockchain technology The results of this trial will help inform both the Regulator and innovators whether or not this should be pursued further

Limits

Ofgem didn’t realise innovators wanted businesses not trials Unsure how to implement this into mainstream regulation Where derogations appropriate it’s a complicated fix for regulations

LITHUANIA : virtual net metering framework

Dovile Almanyte Head of RES unit Ministry of energy

The long-term vision of renewable energy development

Part of renewable energy in the gross energy consumption

2020 – up to 30% 2030 – up to 45% 2050 – up to 80%

By 2050 renewable energy will dominate in the sectors of electricity, heating and transport

Key targets for prosumers

2020 2030 2050

Share of prosumers

2% 30% 50% 60 % of household consumers needs only 1 kW!

Capacity Consumption Share,% 1 kW 1200 kWh 59,6% 3 kW 3600 kWh 21,0% 5 kW 6000 kWh 6% 10 kW 12000 kWh 0,5%

Implementing the long-term vision of prosumer market

Removal of regulatory restrictions and shorter procedures Long-term financing model for prosumers Regulatory framework for prosumers in the multi-apartment buildings Prosumers become a part of the electricity market STEP:

Step 1: Becoming a prosumer is quick and easy

SHORTER PROCEDURES GRID PRICING – A FLEXIBLE CHOICE

• 5 times shorter connection

procedures (from 105 to 21 working days).

• 10 times less documentation

(from 30 to 3). 3 new ways for consumers to pay grid fee:

• For amount (kWh)
• For capacity (kW)
• Binary (for kWh and kW)
• By the surplus of energy

Step 2: Record-breaking financing – starting in 2019

The number of prosumers in 2017 Ambitious goal for the number of prosumers in 2020

Step 3: New set of regulatory improvements for prosumers

Flats in multi- apartment buildings can become prosumers Electricity production and consumption areas can be geographically separated for prosumers Removal of permits for prosumers up to 30 KW (currently - 5KW) Installations’ capacity increased from 100 kW iki 500 kW

Step 3: How does the virtual net metering works?

Electricity from solar power is producer other area than it is consumed Infrastructure fee is charged for each KWh sent through the electricity network The produced electricity in other area is deducted from prosumer‘s bill

Law coming into power from 2019 m. October 1st

Individual approach: 3 types of prosumers

On site PV Virtual PV in solar garden Virtual private PV

Grid pricing alternatives:

• For amount (kWh)
• For capacity (kW)
• Binary (for kWh and kW)
• By the surplus of energy
• Solar garden developed by third parties.
• Consumer owns part of the garden - property rights
• No instant consumption- 100% grid fee
• PV developed in other private place - property rights

(e.g.summerhouse)

• No instant consumption- 100% grid fee
• PV developed on consumers property
• Instant consumption

Virtual PV platform initiative

Initiative by the state owned company Lietuvos energija- platform for solar gardens and crowdfunding:

• Listing of project developers and projects

available

• Auction principle
