Within the framework of the International Energy Agency, FSR is hosting the second meeting of the Global Observatory on Peer-to-Peer (P2P), Community Self-Consumption (CSC) and Transactive Energy (TE) Models.

Decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation are reshaping the way electricity is produced, traded and consumed.

New energy models, not even thinkable a decade ago, are emerging around the world. Electricity consumers, for example, may now benefit from the possibility to produce, individually or collectively, the energy they consume and to trade any surplus with their peers. Opportunities like this represent a major change from the old world where consumers were, to a large extent, passive users of the electricity system, either from a physical and a commercial point of view.

Launched in September 2019, the Global Observatory is a three-year collaborative research project under the IEA Users-Centred Energy Systems Technical Collaboration Programme (UsersTCP). It represents a forum for international collaboration to understand the policy, regulatory, social and technological conditions necessary to support the wider deployment of peer-to-peer, community self-consumption and transactive energy models.

The conference will last two days:

On the first day, open to the public, academics, industry practitioners and representatives of the institutions will meet and discuss the definitions of these new energy models and the opportunities and difficulties that they raise. A few concrete cases of P2P, CSC and TE energy models will be presented and will be used to ignite the debate.

During the second day, researchers involved in the Global Observatory will meet again, present the work conducted so far in the various Observatory subtasks and discuss the steps to take in the following six months.

Participation to the first day is open to everybody but subject to registration and seats availability. Participation to the second day is limited to researchers who are part of the Global Observatory.

Join the discussion online using the hashtag #P2PEnergy

The conference is financially supported by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom.

The Policy Advisory Council discusses the most topical regulatory and policy issues and debates the relevance and robustness of the latest FSR research findings.

The meeting gathers renowned academics, experts from the FSR-Energy Major Donors, the European Commission, the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) and National Regulatory Authorities.

The event is structured as follows:

Day 1

• Session 1: EV Charging policies and business models – Lessons Learnt and vision of the future
• Session 2: Integrating EVs into the network as load and utilising V2X capabilities

Day 2

• Session 1: Gas Terminology (sector coupling project)
• Session 2: Opal Ruling: Solidarity and access to  gas infrastructure

Please note this is a closed event and participation is by invitation only.

About the event

Energy transitions imply disruptive innovation. The 2nd Energy Innovation Bootcamp aims to bring together young scholars to discuss industry adaptation to technological and institutional change. The perspective of industries as complex and evolving systems opens the discussion to topics on industrial dynamics, networks, interactions, and heterogeneity. In the context of energy transitions, we ask how the industry evolves and how it induces innovation. That is an opportunity to bring together a broad view on technological and institutional aspects, and cross-fertilize those streams in a co-evolutionary perspective.

The Bootcamp activities pay constant attention to operationalization. The young scholars will find an open environment to bring their contributions from theoretical developments and empirical analyses and to target results into operational proposals for researchers and public and private decision-makers. To that end, we aim at combining views from fields such as economics, engineering, political sciences, law, social sciences as well as business and management.

The Format

The event consists of three full days of intense activity.

• Each day, we start with presentations aimed at giving a broad view on a relevant topic. After that, knowledge stations aim at providing horizontal discussions on specific research questions or methodologies.
• During the afternoons, academy seminars take place. Participants have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research with experienced mentors and other participants of the academy.

Acceptance

The major requisites to be accepted are completeness, clarity, and relevance of the work. We take into consideration regional diversity and gender equality criteria.

The list of selected participants will be published on October 21^st, 2019.

2019 InnoGrid2020+ is sponsored by Epri and Smart Wires and by Cyient, n-Side and Supergrid Institute. The event is organised in the partnership with the Florence School of Regulation, ISGAN and LFEnergy.

Eurelectric and The Florence School of Regulation are inviting academics, think-tanks, associations, start-ups and established businesses to submit their vision or analysis of innovative business models of the future electricity sector!

The recent release by the European Commission of the Clean Planet for all Roadmap, which aims at reaching a net-zero emission society by 2050, calls for increased levels of electrification to reach the commitments made in Paris. Covering more than 53% of our final energy demand with clean electricity calls for new technologies to enable innovative business opportunities, and raises vital questions for energy companies, consumers, policy-makers, energy regulators and academics.

• Which technology will play a leading role to deepen electrification?
• Which type of entrepreneur and enterprise will thrive in the electricity business of the future?
• Which business models will be required to connect end-use sectors with electricity suppliers?

Eurelectric and the Florence School of Regulation are looking for breakthrough contributions that embrace the complexity and uncertainties surrounding the electricity business in the context of decarbonisation, decentralisation and digitalisation. Join us to deepen the debate and develop innovative visions and empirically grounded analyses on the new technologies, business models and enterprises that will lead the electric landscape of the future.

Submit by 15 February 2019

The #PowerCoordinationEurope is a regional electricity summit organised by ENTSOE and Coreso, in partnership with FSR.

Think globally, coordinate regionally, act locally

To streamline their coordination, European transmission system operators (TSOs) started in the early 2000s to establish regional security coordinators (RSCs). These provide TSOs with coordinated services in operations, market and planning. The European Network Codes registered RSCs in European law. Coordination of TSOs notably through RSCs is part of the ongoing discussions on a new set of European directives & regulations – The Clean Energy For All Europeans’ Package. It will most probably continue to be a focus for European institutions even after 2019.

Every year, one of the five regional security coordinators (RSCs) and ENTSO-E are organising a regional electricity summit in Europe. The #PowerCoordinationEurope (formerly called ElSec) conference series was successfully launched in Munich with TSCNET. This year’s event is set up with Coreso in Brussels. The focus areas include:

• advancement of regional power coordination,
• network code implementation, interoperability of RSCs and solutions for tomorrow;
• state of play of the Clean Energy Package and the changes it will bring across; electricity security and contemporary challenges, like cybersecurity.

ELSEC2018 gathers high-level policy makers, experts, academia, thought leaders and the TSO community on a European, regional and national level, keen to learn and to deliver best services to European citizens. Plenary and breakout sessions will explore the concept of regional coordination and discuss the way-ahead towards the next decade.

The partners for the event include The Florence School of Regulation and The Energy Post.
