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.
