Self-consumption: creating value for the consumer and the energy system
18 JUNE 2015Storage and distributed generation: stronger together

Renewable Energies – the obvious and ethical choice. RE « are right » and « a right »• Self-consumption key for quick,
effective, efficient and democratic [r]evolution to a new energy model
Benefits of renewable energies in Spain:– Climate Change
• Justice
• A matter of time
• And money – 252M€/y GHG Emissions avoided
– Air pollution, a major urban challenge
• 450.000 premature deaths/y in the UE; 27.000 in Spain
– Energy dependence on imports
• 2013: 40.997M€ fossil fuels net imports
• 2013: 7.300M€ imports avoided by renewables

Renewable Energies – the ethical chioce
• Self-consumption key for quick, efficient and democratic [r]evolution to a new energy model
Benefits of renewable energies in Spain:– Electricity Pool price
• 2013: 5900M€ pool reduction price
– Employment:
• 93.000 employed
Self-consumption : the right to choose energy
– Energy democratization needs to empower conusmers to choose energy and to be resposible for managing its demand
– Technology and social claims have pointed to the future
– We need to look at the future with clear targets:
• Granting energy access to sustainable energy , in sufficient amounts and reasonable prices now and in the future
• De-carbonization as a must
• De-energization as a need
• Efficiency
Self-consumption : the right to choose energy• Self-consumption current situation
EU:– Retail market Communication.A New deal for Consumers?
Any EU guidance for SC?– Energy Union: “The citizen at the centre”
Any chances for a Common Energy Policy? And for SC regulated at EU level?
– RE Directive. Prospects for more ambitious and predictable post 2020 regime?
– Efficiency Directive. Same challenges post 2020
Spain:– Regulation blocked during 3 years– The actual proposal for regultation: Blocking SC
• No more that 100kWp. No net balance
• Others illegalized with fines up to 60M€
• No batteries allowed
• Tax on Sun! And out of proportion
• Discharging excedent electricity for free to grid
• Super complex and expensive administrative procedure, applying also if no discharges to net
• Economical conditions transitory during next 3 years (and no clue about what will be after)
Self-consumption : the right to choose energy• Self-consumption: net billing,
connected and with storage
Regulation proposed by Fundación Renovables:– No extra support but no barriers– Stable legal and economical conditions– No limits on power– Incentivize batteries for demand management– Net billing– No fees /taxes on autoconsumed energy– Easy administrative procedure (Portugal)– Opportunity to set the rules for new ways of
sharing energy
Self-consumption and storage: the new opportunity
• Self-conusmption benefits:
- Better demand management , increased
efficiency
- Increased local ”connected self-sufficiency”,
up to 50%.
- Favouring the “bottom up approach”, towards local “zero emmissions”
- Empoworering citizens vs energy “power stations”. A tool to prevent in part energy poverty?
Self-consumption and storage: the new opportunity
• Self-conusmption benefits:Supposing 500MW self-consumption installation
(Only Murcia Region roofs: could host 1 000MW PW- CSS!)
– Reduces 10M€/y the electricity system revenues (0.6%)
– Canary Islands case:
• Now 1.800M€/y spent in fuelling power plants
• Just 38MW s-c installed would save 10M€/y– VAT revenues
• 240M€ over investments
• 8M€/y over mantenance– Energy losses
• Currently 9.6% losses
• S-c would save 20M€/y avoiding losses– S-C is saving energy, reducing the pool price – Opportunity for municipality to shrink
energy bills
Self-consumption: the Spanish citizens choice
• Self-conusmption and renewables won the local elections:
– The Spanish society has chosen in last local elections many parties that support those targets:
• Energy poverty eradication
• Promote self-consumption. Towards 50% municipal connected self sufficiency
• Local Emission Targets to decarbonize municipalities TOWARDS “ZERO emmissions”
• Urban regeneration and Sustainable Cities with Efficient and Sustainable Energy Systems as a main vector
Political Leadership
Cooperation
Empowering citizens
Self-consumption: sun is not just for tanning
• A strong and renewables friendly European Energy Union towards a Common Energy Poicy
• Join to promote self-consumption
• An ambitious and stable common playground for self-consumption
• Avoiding iniciatives like Spanish Decree against self-consumption and storage
