Talk of session: Exploring New Business Models in Renewable Energy Communities

Energy communities, also known as renewable or citizen energy communities, can be a source of innovative aggregation solutions at the local level. The unleashed flexibility potential of households could provide self-balancing services for local energy communities or create new revenue streams for local flexibility aggregators. The session will cover the development of new business models in energy communities, including regional power trading platforms, Micro-PPA, peer-to-peer energy trading, and local flexibility markets.

Moderator: David Krehan, Senior Referent Decentralized Power Generation, bne - Association of Energy Market Innovators, Germany

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
