This paper investigates the relationship between electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) and national regulation authorities (NRAs) over the period to 2025 and beyond, following the implementation of the EU Clean Energy Package and its constituent parts: Electricity Regulation (EU) 2019/943 and Electricity Directive (EU) 2019/944. The context is the drive to change the ’traditional’ distribution network from a passive one-way network to an active two-way network, increasingly involved in active procurement of flexibility resources to manage energy and voltage constraints within its geographical area. We conducted two parallel surveys of DSOs and their national regulatory authorities (NRAs) across 39 European countries. This produced 39 responses from DSOs and 12 responses from NRAs covering, respectively, 40% and 78% of customers in those countries. We asked both DSOs and NRAs three sets of questions related to: (1) the future role of the electricity DSO including new roles, coordination with other parties and potential lessons from TSOs; (2) how regulators and EU institutions can support the move to the more active DSO; and (3) best practices that reflect the future DSO. Our findings are consistent with the observation that the move towards a more active role for the DSO remains work in progress for both DSOs and their NRAs, given the fact that the Clean Energy Package has only passed into European Law relatively recently and some Member States are still implementing its provisions. |
