Taller sobre autoconsumo.

1. Self-consumption: creating value for the
consumer and the energy system
18 JUNE 2015
Storage and distributed generation: stronger together
Domingo Jiménez Beltrán
Fundación Renovables

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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)

6. 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

7. 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?

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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
