This chapter analyzes current developments behind and beyond the meter from a system perspective: how should these concepts be designed to benefit the power system in general and the integration of renewable energy in particular? The chapter provides a general overview and looks at two specific cases: behind-the-meter self-consumption in combination with batteries and peer-to-peer trading of renewable electricity. The chapter’s main conclusions are that behind-and-beyond-the-meter concepts can support the energy transition toward a renewable system. Yet, currently, the individual interests and incentives are not necessarily in line with the needs of the overall energy system and political aims. This needs to be reflected in the regulatory framework. |
