10Different drivers at different levels

Onsite Generation Shifting electricity use Flexibility products Purchasing elsewhere

Homes - Self-consumption- Net metering- Feed-in-tariff- Avoiding volumetric taxes and

charges

- Increase self-consumption- Time-of-use/energy arbitrage- Minimizing capacity charge

- Individual participation in various markets (through aggregators): wholesale, capacity, local flex, balancing, etc.

- Income from DER investments elsewhere

- Cheaper retail energy- Virtual net metering

Communities - Collective self-consumption- Avoiding volumetric taxes and

charges- Feed-in-tariffs/PPAs

- Increase collective self-consumption

- Minimize collective capacity charge

- Collective participation in various markets (through community flexibility aggregator): wholesale, capacity, local flex, balancing, etc.

- Cheaper retail energy from collectively owned DERs

- Collective energy purchasing schemes

Commercial Buildings

- Self-consumption- Feed-in-tariffs/PPAs- Avoiding volumetric taxes and

charges

- Increase self-consumption- Time-of-use/energy arbitrage- Minimize capacity charge

- Participation in various markets (through aggregator): wholesale, capacity, local flex, balancing, etc.

- Long-term price security

Industry - Self consumption- Feed-in-tariffs/PPAs- Avoiding volumetric taxes and

charges

- Increase self-consumption- Time-of-use/energy arbitrage- Minimize capacity charge

- Participation in various markets (through aggregator): wholesale, capacity, local flex, balancing, etc.

How to optimize…

- Conditions onsite?- National regulatory framework? - Which markets available?

12Trends in financial and non-financial drivers

•(Increasing) self-consumption

•Feed-in-tariffs and net metering schemes

•Avoiding/minimizing taxes and network charges

•Time of use/price arbitrage

•Participation in flexibility markets

•Long-term price stability

Financial Drivers

•Enhanced capabilities and performance

•Participation in energy transition

•Climate and energy leadership

•Increased autonomy

•Security of supply/resilience

Other Drivers

13Are we providing the right incentives?

1. Are we incentivizing prosumers to provide as much value to the energy system as possible?

2. Are we incentivizing prosumers to contribute towards a decarbonized energy system?

Prosumers with storageDecentralized energy systems: models for a modern EU economy - # EUSEW1918 June 2019

Residential energy storage market in Italy

Annual market size1 (MWh) Installed base1 (MWh)

1 DELTA, EASE: European market Monitor on Energy Storage

Interesting market dynamics materializing thanks to decreasing costs and support schemes

Storage increasingly coupled with PV to optimize self-consumption

The Italian INECP foresees +30 GW of PV by 2030

The evolution of flexibility markets is creating new opportunities for DER

Opening of balancing market to aggregation through pilot projects

So far: slow reserves (15 min FAT, 2-4 hours delivery)

Foreseeable in the next future: faster reserves

UVAC: Virtual Consumption Units

UVAP: Virtual Production Units

UVAM: Virtual Mixed Units

UPR: Relevant Production Units today not qualified to BM

UPI: Production Units integrated with storage

Fast Reserves

• Enel X ready to launch in the next months a

smart community

• Virtual power plant of hundreds of

residential customers with storage assets

• Storage and gateway for the habilitation to

balancing services

• Enel X as an aggregator and BSP

from the refrigeration equipment and systems to

participate in local demand response market

▪ CO2 emissions cut by 40%, the logistics center uses

50% less energy than current two operational centers

▪ A lifecycle optimized solution for future expansion

Solution

▪ EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Advisor - software as a

service platform

▪ EcoStruxure™ Building Operation software - open

building management platform

First Commercial Industrial Microgrid solution in Finland (in collaboration withRamboll, Sweco, Fortum and Fingrid)

Customer Challenge

▪ A flexible, future-proof, environmentally friendly and

energy-efficient new logistics center in Finland

▪ Ability to optimize heating and cooling and to

participate in demand response markets for energy

with a microgrid solution for solar energy

▪ BREEAM excellence award for the building

Lidl is one of the biggest grocery store chains in

Europe. In Finland Lidl has currently over 170 stores

▪ Easy and simple integration of

decentralized energy resources

and multiple systems

▪ Integrated Power and Energy

Management Systems

▪ Control systems to monitor and

manage resources and systems

▪ Real-time optimization

(utilization, prices, weather)

▪ Translation of system data into

actionable intelligence to

optimize building performance
