1 Smart Grids development in Europe EU Science Global Challenges Global Collaboration European Parliament 5 March 2013, Brussels Per-Olof Granström, Secretary General, EDSO for Smart Grids

2 EDSO for Smart Grids EDSO for Smart Grids Representing European Distribution System Operators for Electricity Representing some 70 percent of the EU customers Leading the cooperation for the Electricity networks of the future Bringing Smart Grids from vision to reality

3 EU energy drivers and investment needs Competitiveness A lowcarbon economy by 2050 Total investment needs in the electricity and gas sector : over 1 trillion EUR Security of supply Climate/ Environment Power generation ~ 500 bn Transmission and distribution ~ 600 bn RES ~ bn Distribution ~ 400 bn Transmission ~ 200 bn Source: EC communication on Energy Infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond, based on PRIMES calculations

4 New Energy Europe evolving role for DSOs Energy Europe is changing decarbonisation and market integration Very strong impact at local level Vast amounts of distributed energy Empowering consumers, active demand, smart metering and communication Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure Changes the distribution network From radial to complex Reverse energy flows Highlights the need for Local balancing and energy storage Communication, open data interfaces Market facilitation Generation Transmission Generation Transmission Distribution Customer Distribution Customer

5 EU related Smart Grids activities Technology European Electricity Grids Initiative Strategic Research Agenda 2035 Smart Cities Platform Standardisation mandate (International Smart Grid Action Network ISGAN) Policy and regulation 3rd Energy package Smart Grids Communication Smart Grids Task Force: standards, data, regulation, infrastructure Connecting Europe Facility Energy Efficiency directive Network codes

6 Smart Grid projects in Europe MAIN FINDINGS Smart Grids bring benefits DSOs play the leading role Difficult to accelerate Smart Grids deployment without revising the regulatory frameworks Bring the customer onboard Technology integration not technology innovation Knowledge sharing Source: JRC/European Commission

7 Smart meter roll-out in the EU (Electricity, source European Commission)

8 European Electricity Grid Initiative Electricity Grid Initiative CCS Smart Cities Sustainable Nuclear Solar Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Wind Bioenergy 9 years 2 bn EUR RD&D programme Accelerate Smart Grids innovation and development Roadmap 2010 New Roadmap (DSO) Smart customers Integration of DER and new uses Network operations Network planning, asset management Market design D1.
