Presented at: 7th IAEE European Energy Conference - European Energy Markets in Transition, Bergen, Norway, 28-30 augustus 2005.
Abstract:
This study has analysed the existing policy and regulation aimed atthe integration of an increased share of Distributed Generation (DG)
in electricity supply systems in the European Union. It illustrates
the state of the art and progress in the development of support mechanisms
and network regulation for large-scale integration of DG. Through a
benchmark study a systematic comparison has been made of different DG
support schemes and distribution network regulation in EU Member States
to a predefined standard, the level playing field. This level playing
field has been defined as the situation where energy markets, policy
and regulation provide neutral incentives to central vs. distributed
generation, which results in an economically more efficient electricity
supply to the consumer. In current regulation and policy a certain discrepancy
can be noticed between the actual regulation and policy support s
