2 Net-Metering and Self-consumption schemes: How does it work?
Page 8
Self-consumption and net-metering schemes in Europe
Main types of incentives:
• Direct: Self-consumption premium
(former DE and IT schemes)
• Indirect: FiT or support is < retail electricity price (DE, IT)
SELF-CONSUMPTION
SELF-SONSUMPTION INCENTIVES
SELF-CONSUMPTION METER
Self-consumption and net-metering schemes in Europe NET METERING
NET-METERING / NET-BILLING
Net-Metering
• Physical compensation of your PV production volume over your consumption volume during a set period of time (year/month/day/hour)
(meter turns backward)
• = resulting in a simple billing arrangement
• Incentive = savings on the electricity bill
Net-Billing:
• Economical compensation of your PV electricity production value over your consumption value during a period of time

3 Overview of schemes in Europe
Page 11
Self-consumption and net-metering schemes in Europe
DE: Self-consumption encouraged with lower FiTs Market integration Model since Aug. 2012 (<1000 kWp)
IT: Scambio Sul Posto (≈ net-billing) where compensation < electricty retail price (< 200 kWp)
ES: Self-consumption allowed (<100 kW )
NL: Yearly Net-metering < 3x80 A
DK: Hourly Net-metering
BE: Yearly Net-metering (<10 kVA)
UK: Self-consumption right + Export tariff (<30 kWp)
OVERVIEW OF MAIN NET-METERING AND SELF-CONSUMPTION SCHEMES IN EUROPE
Page 12
TR: Daily Net-metering (< 1 MWp)
Self-consumption and net-metering schemes in Europe
Germany: Self-consumption is a key driver of the 2013 market (95% of systems commissioned): Since 2012 no more self-co premium, Driver: retail electricty prices> FiT
• Discussion on financing of grid operators ongoing due to reduced revenues
Italy: Self-co premium + fiT ended in June 2013.
• Difficulty to restart market with current only scheme: scambio sul posto (net-billing scheme). However retail price > scambio sulposto support which is relatively attractive
• need public support to communicate on scheme
UK: self-consumption is allowed + generation tariff + export premium = attractive scheme compared to Italy or Germany
Belgium: net-metering provoking reactions from DSOs to get refinanced
• Flanders set fix grid fee linked to installed capacity to finance DSOs: unfair for existing systems; preventing further development
• Wallonia thinking of similar measure
Netherlands: combined net-metering and grant driving maket. So far no issue with DSOs. Limit of max production for compensation (5000 kWh) removed
Denmark: small scale yearly net-metering stopped in Nov 2012 due to loss of tax revenues for the government. Only hourly net-metering remaining, DSOs asking to get compensation for lost revenues
Spain: Self-co was allowed in Nov. 2011 however missing regulatory framework; recent proposal from government to get a back-up toll which will affect also self-consumed share of electricity
Current state of net-metering and self-consumption schemes in Europe
Page 13
Self-consumption and net-metering schemes in Europe
Easy administrative scheme (administrative costs share in Italy = 10 x level of Germany)
Energy-saving behaviour necessity for a change in mindsets
• Communication from public authorities
• Marketing strategy evolution from companies
Long term savings expectations
• Awareness on raising electricity prices
Attractive Financial support
• Investment repays over longer period than with FiTs

4 Recommendations to enhance self consumption
Page 16

Recommendations
Page 17
Lift all regulatory barriers to self consumption
Give the right to self-consume. In many countries it is not the case yet, or simply not worth
Phase out regulated electricity prices and other regulatory barriers
Retail electricity prices should reflect actual electricity prices. Artificially low prices (e.g. Spain, Greece or France) prevents development of self-consumption or net-metering
No exposure of self-consumed electricity to grid costs, adapt grid charges based on consumer profile/impact
Spanish example with a back-up toll is the example of a wrong measure
Flemish grid charge based on installed capacity do not reflect the consumer load profile
Socialise network operation costs for electricity fed into system (as for other generators) and secure adequate remuneration
Remuneration of grid operators is needed but it should be socialised among consumers
French injection fee is not fair, cost should be socialised among consumers
Support enablers, such as smart meters, smart prosumer storage and Demand Side Management
German storage incentive is a first step
