Context
Business models for sustainable local energy solutions
Contemporary energy challenges lead to an increased importance of local energy solutions. The installation of local sustainable energy sources, like PV-panels, heat pumps, etc. can lead to lower dependence on fossil fuels. A good fit between local supply and local demand can lead to higher degrees of self-sufficiency for specific neighborhoods or communities and therefore a lower dependence on the energy grid. Electrical vehicles can be charged at off-peak times to allow for a lower peak usage. Intelligent solutions like smart optimization techniques can help to optimize all these decisions.
Next to the traditional players in the energy domain like energy suppliers, transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution network operators (DSO), new actors like energy managers, charging pole operators, etc. are entering the domain. Digital platforms can enable different digital solutions in the energy domain like optimizing the use of energy in a specific residential area by matching the demand curve of residents, retailers and electric cars to each other and to the (renewable) energy generation.
For all of them, several techno-economic trade-offs need to be made. Decision makers can be informed by cost-benefit analysis studies for different potential investments like photovoltaic cells or a local heat network that recuperates the heat from a nearby factory. Calculating levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for different local energy solutions can help to identify to most sustainable solutions that are also financially viable. Next to that, understanding the impact of changing local energy ecosystem on the business models for both traditional and novel actors forms an important research challenge.
