This debate will focus on how to enhance system flexibility and to complete market integration to minimise the cost of accomodating increasing shares of renewables into the electricity system, thus reducing overall energy system costs to the benefit of EU energy consumers and to improve EU competitiveness. More specifically, the Debate will discuss how to remove the current limitations – e.g. incomplete market integration and barriers to the participation of distributed resources in the markets – to the full potential of renewable-based generation to reduce electricity costs.
Electricity costs for EU consumers are driven by a number of factors, including primary energy costs, network costs and system costs. These costs are greatly affected by the increasing penetration of renewable generation, which is key to the achievement of the ambitious EU climate policy goals. More (intermittent) renewables calls for a more flexible electricity system. How to minimise the costs of flexibility is one of the main challenges of the energy transition, requiring progress in several areas:
