• Report on Metering Regulation and Accounting Framework for Grid Connected Rooftop Solar in India

    Covering final recommendations for developing the new Model Regulation for Grid-Connected Rooftop Photovoltaic (GRPV) in India after analysing inputs gathered from stakeholder consultation, international review and As-Is assessment of the current regulatory framework in India (World Bank-State Bank of India Grid-Connected Rooftop Photovoltaic Technical Assistance program).

  • Growing the Sharing Energy Economy

    How Energy Ministers can support cheaper, faster decarbonisation via distributed energy resources. Based on the Australian experience, recommendations are provided for unlocking distributed energy resources, including describing the necessary technical and regulatory frameworks (Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis).

  • Policy Guidelines by the Energy Community Secretariat on the Grid Integration of Prosumers

    The significant decrease of costs of small-scale renewable energy technologies creates new opportunities for electricity consumers to get involved in driving the energy transition. ‘Prosumer’’ refers to an electricity consumer that produces part of his/her electricity needs from his/her own power plant and uses the distribution network to inject excess production and to withdraw electricity when self-production is not sufficient to meet his/her own needs.

    The Policy Guidelines summarize the findings and recommendations of the study: “Distributed Generation for Self-Consumption, Key Aspects and Recommendations of Good Practice” prepared under the cooperation platform of Energy Community Distribution System Operators (ECDSO-E), with a focus on recommended practice for small installation of “prosumers” connected to distribution network.
