As the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme that was used widely in the past years start to fade away, new schemes and policies are needed to revitalize the Photovoltaic (PV) market, which in danger of stagnation. FiTs have rapidly reduced in most countries mainly due to the sharp decline in PV system costs and the fact that targets set in terms of Wp installed by 2020 have already been reached. One of the schemes proposed is net-metering. This scheme implies that an algebraic deduction is performed between the electrical energy produced by the PV system and the energy consumed. The net result if the energy produced is higher, is fed back to the grid preferably at a certain premium or retail prices. Although net-metering is not widely adopting currently, the combination of PV systems cost decline and increase in electricity prices observed worldwide, will probably make such a scheme attractive to both investors and policy makers. In this context, PV-NET Metering is a project under Europe in the Mediterranean (MED) programme addressing the design of energy policies and strategies in the Mediterranean for cost-optimized utilization of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). It involves involves optimizing smart energy management schemes, in particular net metering, to provide an economically sustainable alternative to government FiT subsidies. This paper presents the initial steps taken in this project and presents an analysis concerning the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) in four regions - project partners and a grid parity calculation for Greece. Also, the methodology and technical specifications for the pilot installations foreseen are outlined. |
