"For the approximate one-third of households across these countries without driveways, the running costs of an EV remain a major barrier to widespread adoption.
Dynamic pricing, where electricity prices vary based on supply and demand, presents an opportunity to allow households to access cheaper electricity when renewables are abundant."

Linking EV charging and renewables in location and time unleashes additional benefits for the energy transition. How can we make the most of existing data and tools like smart charging?

In my new #RAP Regulatory Assistance Project brief, I explore the EU's REDIII and how countries can take the next step.

Smart charging of EVs: -83% peak reduction
Heat pumps: -36%

And excellent textbox on demand flexibility as a choice: not everyone has the same ability to engage. Automation and smart tariffs can help, but consumers must be assured these tools are on their side.

Interesting new aggregator for consumer flexibility in Norway: reduce the load on the power grid with your EV, for example, and earn between NOK 500 and NOK 4,000 (€40 - €440) per year. Works with any energy supplier (and soon also with the Norgespris capped electricity price).

If you build it, they will come.

UK DSO National Grid Energy Distribution has worked to remove barriers for consumer energy resources participating in its local flexibility market. With great success, over 50% of all #EV chargers in its area are now registered.

www.linkedin.comIf you build it, they will come | Jaap BurgerIf you build it, they will come Applying that well-worn phrase here: 'It' is a local flexibility market. 'They' refers to the flexibility inherent in EV home charging that has not previously been used to support the local grid. National Grid Electricity Distribution's impressive statistics show that more than 50% of EV chargers in its area are registered to deliver flexibility services. In terms of the number of assets, 90% of those registered are from domestic households, mainly in the form of EV chargers but also including heat pumps, for example. However, the majority of the registered capacity (912 MW out of a total of 1,487 MW) is being provided by just 1% of the assets: commercial and industrial ones. What does this demonstrate? There is room for all types and sizes of flexibility, both large and small. Increasing market participation boosts competitiveness, reducing the costs of deploying flexibility and benefiting all users. Put simply, lowering the barriers lowers the costs. Many European countries could learn from efficient and simple market access for small-scale flexibility. All too often, barriers to consumer energy participation in local flexibility markets, congestion management and other services still exist. See the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) report on this subject for more information. For smart services that control an EV charging point or heat pump, participation in local flexibility markets is a relatively simple building block, on top of optimisation for static/dynamic tariff incentives, for example. Stacking is an efficient way to unlock more value and increase the benefits for users and the system. Policymakers and regulators should ask themselves why EVs, heat pumps, home batteries and so on are not yet contributing to a more efficient local grid in their area. Talk to DSOs and, above all, to the smart services that can bundle the flexibility of these small assets. What's holding them back? Is it time for a European benchmark to show what percentage of these types of assets are registered for a market-based flexibility contribution?

For a long time, it was thought that smart charging required the charging point to be made ‘smart’. However, the significant growth of smart charging – including in Europe – lies in car connectivity. This creates the best and most logical user experience and makes a fleet of EVs grid-responsive.

EV drivers are highly responsive to public charging price signals. A 40% price reduction led to a 117% increase in charging demand!

Great findings from a Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) field experiment with Octopus Electroverse:

Centre for Net Zero (Octopus Energy Group) worked with charging app provider (or MSP in e-mobility jargon) Octopus Electroverse and tested the response of 110,000 EV drivers to different types of signals.

🇫🇮 Synergi ("Der Name ist Programm" as the Germans say) is the first provider of flexibility in a joint TSO-DSO flex market. 10,000 heat pumps, EVs and solar systems are now not only optimised for efficiency, comfort and spot market prices, but are also actively helping to relieve grid congestion.

www.linkedin.comAn excellent example of how stacking is shaping today's energy system is… | Jaap BurgerAn excellent example of how stacking is shaping today's energy system is the use of a common platform by 🇫🇮 Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid Oyj and distribution system operator Helen Sähköverkko Oy to meet their flexibility needs at the transmission and distribution grid levels, by tapping into electric vehicles, heat pumps and solar energy. This platform is hosted by NODESmarket, which also runs similar local platforms for other system operators in Europe. Flexibility provider Synergi, ''der Name ist Programm'' as the German saying goes, brings together 10,000 Finnish households with EVs, heat pumps and solar, for which the service already provides smart control that reduces costs for the user without any effort. The company offers this solution to various energy suppliers. Everyone wins by joining forces and building on what already exists. Electric vehicles, heat pumps and solar panels get an extra function with smart control, increasing comfort and control for the user while reducing costs. In addition to smart control for better efficiency and optimisation for (spot) prices, the more than 10,000 Finnish households using Synergi's app now also contribute directly to solving bottlenecks in the electricity grid. What can we learn from this? Take advantage of stacking opportunities: as system operators, bundle the use of flexibility (good and much needed TSO-DSO collaborations are already emerging elsewhere). Use platforms (don't reinvent the wheel 👀 🇳🇱 ) that are open to any form of (demand-side) flexibility, especially aggregated small units. For consumer energy devices, the ability to stack optimisation inputs is an interesting way to get even more value out of their devices, contribute to a sustainable, reliable and efficient energy system, and reduce costs. Smart services are evolving from optimising for one input to increasingly stacking markets/services using the same intelligent control of energy devices. Fortunately, fully harnessing the flexibility of the rapidly growing number of consumer energy devices for a more robust, efficient, sustainable and affordable European grid is a key focus of EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). In the European Union, it is primarily up to Member States (and their energy regulators) to remove barriers and open up (local flexibility) markets. The ongoing electrification of households is a great opportunity for synergy!
