Jon Wellinghoff, chairman of the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC):
“Solar is growing so fast it is going to overtake everything,”
“Our markets were made up for a very centralised system, very large plants and plants that were distant from loads. We’re moving to a much more distributed system that also has consumers participating as resources with their load.”
Stephen Chu, former US Energy Secretary:
“Now, if you’re a utility company, you’re going to be very worried about that. (…) So I’ve been telling them there’s another business model.”

No doubt that renewables will break through in the end

Declining costsModular characterPeople want it!
BUT: Without the right regulatory framework and without early technical adaptations of the power system, it will be hard ... and too late for the climate

Making it happen smoothly and fast
Page 6
Active adaption instead of scaremongering and delay
Re-thinking Europe’s energy system
1. A flexible power mix and transmission
2. An active distribution system, energy services & aggregation
3. Service provision by renewables 4. Different market products and rules

What does it mean for policy?
Page 7
Set a strong and binding renewable energy target An „ETS-only“ approach cannot be enough to drive the structural change!
Re-think market rules and regulations to accomodate renewables
Refrain from narrowly-focussed capacity mechanisms for fossil fuels
Drive flexibilisation of the power system and mix• Network codes, power plant requirements
New focus on distribution level: • Energy services and aggregation• New metering and communication strategies
