Jon Ferris
“The way that residential customers pay for distribution networks is set to change. In summary, we’re likely to see more charges based on capacity (kW), compared to the current system which is largely based on energy (kWh).” This blog article will discuss how the opinions captured in December’s online survey regarding network tariffs compare with...

Electricity distribution networks and the energy transition: opportunities and challenges (part 1)

June 22 2021
Jon Slowe
Electricity distribution networks will increasingly come under the spotlight as the energy transition gathers pace. Distribution networks are entering a brave new age. They have done their job excellently in Europe in the previous decades – distributing electricity from the transmission system to households and businesses in an increasingly efficient, cost-effective, reliable manner. But the nature of...

How quickly will demand side flexibility become business as usual for European DSOs?

February 5 2020
Jon Ferris
In late 2019 we completed a major study into the market status, challenges and lessons learnt for European Distribution System Operators (DSOs) using demand side flexibility to manage their networks. The study identified that the UK is the leading market in Europe – and probably the world – in terms of DSOs utilising demand side...

Distribution System Operators and Energy Communities

January 30 2020
Jan Hughes
The energy transition brings economic and socio-cultural challenges, as we move from high-carbon generation assets to low-carbon distributed assets. An increase of distributed energy resources (DERs) – such as in the Nordics where installed capacity increased by ~46% between 2005 and 2017 – is changing the nature of interactions between buildings, districts, cities, and the...
