Presetatio Outlie Europea Policy Issues Market Barrier Idetificatio (DG-FER*) Market Barrier Removal Mechaisms (ELEP**) Summary * Distributed Geeratio Future Eergy Resources (Alteer project 4.1030/Z/01-141/2001) * Europea Local Electricity Productio (EIE project EIE/04/175/S07.38664)
Europea Uio Policy Goals The EU s policy goals iclude: Improved security of eergy supply 22% share for reewable eergy systems Reductio of eergy itesity by 18% Reductio i CO 2 emissios by 8% DG has a key role to play, but there are market issues limitig the uptake of DG techologies..
The DG-FER Project (2003-04) Idetified a umber of key barriers that are curretly limitig DG ad RES implemetatio i Europe Proposed solutios ad methods by which these barriers could be miimised Developed a Road Map for DG i Europe (with a timelie) http://www.dgfer.org

Example DG-FER Recommedatios (1) Itercoectio The developmet of a EU electrical itercoectio stadard for DG applicatios Review of utility DG itercoectio practices to esure cosistet treatmet of DG The cosideratio of DG as a ifrastructure developmet tool withi utility plaig procedures Perform a detailed aalysis of the potetial impact of icreasig levels of DG o EU grid systems
Example DG-FER Recommedatios (2) Creatig a Fair Market Perform a detailed assessmet of the etwork, evirometal ad commercial beefits of DG i EU Ad develop mechaisms to capitalise these beefits i the commercial eviromet Develop market rules relatig to DG i areas icludig: Coectio chargig Time-varyig et meterig Develop a detailed fiacial model of the EU Eergy Market to assess the impact of icetive regimes

What Beefits Will ELEP Brig? Lower costs of istallatio for DG & RES equipmet Stadardised itercoectio rules Commo certificatio & authorisatio approaches A more level playig field for DG ad RES New market rules Uderstadig ad capitalisig the real value of DG ad RES Improvemets i eergy efficiecy / emissios Deploymet of more efficiet ad reewable eergy systems Greater flexibility i electrical eergy delivery Localised resource deploymet
Stakeholder Ivolvemet A key part of makig ELEP work is egagig with all stakeholder groups Iterested stakeholders are ecouraged to Register o the website (www.elep.et) (which will be available from April 2005) or cotact me directly: (richard.kight@rolls-royce.com)
Summary DG has a role to play i the implemetatio of EU eergy policy goals, but market barriers curretly exist Previous work has idetified what these market barriers are, ad has provided recommedatios suggestig how they might be mitigated The ew ELEP iitiative is takig the ext steps towards addressig these barriers i practical terms through policy ad legislative meas The fiacial support of the Europea Commissio for the ELEP project is gratefully ackowledged
