“…Furthermore, they also plan to increase the RE penetration levels by 70% [16,17]. South Korea proposed a GHG reduction of 37% and a 10% increase in RE integration through Vision 2012-2022 and smart grid road map frameworks until 2030 [18,19]. Canada's national smart grid technology and standards task force aim at GHG emission reductions, RE integration, and power quality of the electrical grid [20].…”

Electrical grids are one of the major sources of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), which are harmful to the environment because they contribute to global warming. As the geographical, environmental, political, and policy constraints are different, policies and research frameworks from developed countries cannot be used directly in developing countries. This paper suggests a completely integrated quantification approach (IQA) and sub-methodologies, such as SM1, SM2, and SM3, that consider the limitations, evaluates the effects, and suggest a way to deal with climate change problems on the power grid. From the perspective of renewable energy (RE) integration and GHG emissions (mainly CO2), the proposed approach addresses the limitations in the policy framework extending to 2030. In addition, the effects of the changes in the ambient temperature, from 0.5 °C to 2 °C, have been examined for thermal power generation and transformers. Lastly, the proposed method considers how energy-efficient devices (EEDs) affect the residential load sector. The results show that households used 10.7% less energy and their costs decreased significantly. This work’s quantitative approach gives a specific way to reduce the carbon footprint of the electrical grid.

“…84 A smart grid is an electricity network that integrates the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it (generators and/or consumers) while ensuring an economically efficient, sustainable power system with high levels of quality and security of supply and safety (CENELEC 2020). Beyond the US and Europe, for instance the Jeju Smart Grid demonstration project in South Korea has provided ample evidence on the practicability of the smart grid concept (Kim et al 2016;Kang et al 2018) corrected statistically (Pilo et al 2014). Assessment methods used are deterministic: the feasibility of connecting new customers requires the assessment of existing line capacity to incorporate them, referred to as hosting capacity analysis.…”

The energy efficiency first principle in European energy and climate policy

The ‘energy efficiency first’ (EE1st) principle has become a key element of the European Union’s (EU) strategy to transition to a net-zero emissions energy system. This principle advocates prioritising energy efficiency solutions, such as building retrofits, when they cost less or provide greater societal benefits than traditional energy supply infrastructure, such as power plants. Despite its inclusion in the EU Governance Regulation and the recast Energy Efficiency Directive, the implementation of the EE1st principle across Member States faces both conceptual and practical challenges. This research makes three main contributions: First, it provides a thorough investigation of the theoretical foundations of the EE1st principle through a combination of literature review and conceptual analysis, thereby integrating the principle into the broader research literature and clarifying its implications for EU policymaking. Second, it analyses the quantitative effects of the principle using energy systems modelling and cost-benefit analyses, examining the balance between energy savings in the building sector and the associated energy supply needs for electricity, heat, and hydrogen in the EU’s netzero transition. Finally, based on a literature review of economic theory and semi-structured interviews, the research provides policy guidance by categorising potential policy instruments and presenting a decision tree framework to facilitate energy planning. Altogether, this research highlights the critical role of the EE1st principle in moving the EU towards net-zero emissions by providing conceptual clarity, empirical evidence, and actionable guidance.

Energy Efficiency First (EE1st) is an important concept that, if implemented, will minimise the cost of the energy transition by exploiting the end-use energy efficiency and demand response potential of end users. The power sector is particularly relevant for the application of the EE1st principle as it needs to be decarbonised early, demand is to grow due to the electrification, and due to the increasing value on demand flexibility to maintain system balance. In this paper we show that consumers need to be considered as multiple resources for the power system and examine key regulatory tools to mobilise consumers to offer their flexibility and DSOs to use this flexibility to reduce the need for network asset investment. The pricing of energy and network is key in delivering demand-side flexibility. At the same time DSOs need to consider them in their network planning by law, and regulators are encouraged to incentivise them to integrate the consumers in network operation innovatively. The European regulation provides an appropriate framework for the implementation of the principle in the power sector. It is now the tasks of national regulators to implement them effectively.
