“…By definition, the pro rata method would allocate the total losses of the system to customers based on their individual active power demand level, ignoring their relative location on the grid [7,11]. This is mathematically expressed in (1), where AL refers to the losses allocated to customer n from the total number of customers (NoC) whereas TL and D are the total incurred losses and demand level at time interval t, respectively…”

“…Net energy metering (NEM) practices that support rooftop photovoltaic (PV) rely on compensation mechanisms based on retail tariffs. This is because NEM prosumers receive a one-for-one credit for the electricity they export to the grid against their timediversified consumption that is imported from the grid [1]. The term prosumers (i.e.…”

“…This debate challenges the premise that higher volumes of RES can enter every year the EU internal market and be absorbed progressively by existing mechanisms. However, while most studies so far have focused on a technoeconomic analysis of the regulatory design and efficiency of the different RES-E support mechanisms [22][23][24][25], there is a knowledge gap on the impact of such mechanisms on the performance of the energy market and its interaction with the RES-E sector. Despite the learning progress of the past years, thus, important regulatory questions remain still unanswered, with the long-term relationship between RES-E and conventional markets remaining ambiguous, mainly owing to two structural changes, as also depicted in Figure 1 [26]:…”

An Ex-Post Assessment of RES-E Support in Greece by Investigating the Monetary Flows and the Causal Relationships in the Electricity Market

One way to perceive the electricity market is as a network of actors connected through transactions and monetary flows. By exploring the monetary flows in the electricity market, one adopts a holistic view which can provide insights on the interactions between different components of the benefits and costs, as well as on the possible conflicts or alliances between the involved actors of the system. The importance of such an analysis becomes even more evident when considering if the system’s state would change due to either the effectuation of a policy measure or a shift in the external drivers of the system. Additionally, by identifying conditions of conflicting interests between the involved actors, one can devise a roadmap of least-resistance for a policy measure to attain its goals. Our work is based on the premise that understanding and quantifying the monetary flows in the electricity market can contribute to the efficiency assessment of policy interventions in the market. We present a structured analytical framework and the results of a quantitative analysis, based on available public domain data, for the identification of the main drivers and interactions that governed the major monetary flows in the Greek wholesale electricity market, from 2009 to 2013 and the ex-post assessment of the market impact of the feed-in-tariffs scheme that was in place during this period.

“…Some see regulated retail prices as a mean for adjustment of both fixed and variable tariffs, which enables effective operability of the services (Nikolaidis et al, 2015) [10]. In this sense, counterbalancing solar DG clients at the retail price enab les these clients to deduct considerable portion of the price by moving these costs to consumers who have not fixed solar PV panels.…”

Consumer protection and electricity pricing issues that emerge when consumers generate their own electric power by installing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels (known as solar distributed generation, or DG) nowadays are in the centre of interest of public administration and citizens as far as it concerns energy supplies of households and new inter-relations which occur as the result of technological advance. Despite the fact that the output of a solar panel cannot be precisely predicted, the marginal cost of generating electricity from the renewable energy sources is nearly zero. This made renewable sources with the inclusion of solar panels the first choice for utility firm in fulfilling its customer's energy demand. We look into the economics of electricity pricing and issue of consumer protection associated with the distributed generation in the developed economies by the example of the USA. Our results might help the stakeholders and policy-makers as well as energy companies to obtain a deeper insight on this problematique. Given that the United States are dangerously affected by climate change, the use of solar renewable energy would be of great benefit in controlling the environmental hazards caused by the use of non-renewable energy on the environment. The government and other socially influential stakeholders must initiate and further participate in the public awareness campaign concerning policies, the concept of net metering and the pricing of solar products.

Ці проблеми швидко привернули увагу владних структур і суспільства. Ми розглядаємо економіку ціноутворення на електроенергію та питання захисту прав споживачів, пов'язані з розподіленим генеруванням енергії, на прикладі розвинених економік світу, а саме, США. Уряд та інші зацікавлені сторони мають ініціювати й активно реалізовувати просвітницькі кампанії щодо концепції виробництва електроенергії з відновлювальних джерел та ціноутворення на відповідні продукти сонячної енергетики.
