Chile to track Renewable Energy for Copper Mining on Blockchain
Chile’s National Electricity Coordinator (CEN) is developing a blockchain platform that will be used to trace renewable energy usage in
copper production. The Renova initiative is not limited to copper and aims to provide Renewable Energy traceability and a log of all the
country’s Renewable Energy resources.
There is a growing demand in the mining industry for more transparent and environmentally-friendly practices, and companies are
looking at renewable energy as a solution to mitigate the environmental impacts of copper mining. The renewable energy sector is
growing at a fast pace in Chile. Nevertheless, selling duplicate contracts or accounting for the same renewable energy certificate twice
are still common occurrences.

European Commission approves Polish scheme to support Offshore Wind Farms
The scheme has a total maximum budget of 22.5 billion euro and will run until 2030
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, Polish scheme to support offshore wind technology. The measure will
help Poland reach its renewable energy targets without unduly distorting competition. The aid will be granted in the form of a two-way
contract-for-difference premium, during 25 years, but only up to 100,000 full load hours per MW of installed capacity. Under this model,
this variable premium is calculated as the difference between the reference price and the market price for electricity. The scheme will roll
out in two phases.

National Grid U.K. Announces World’s First Large-Scale Use of Power Flow Technology
Key Highlights: The NGET is installing SmartValve on five circuits at three of its substation sites in the North of England, which makes 500
MW of new network capacity available in each region.
National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) is using transformational technology to unlock 1.5GW of network capacity enough
renewable energy to power one million homes to supporting the United Kingdom’s net-zero ambitions. As power grids become more
intelligent, digital and controllable, the NGET is using SmartValve, a cutting-edge modular power flow control technology, to drive this
transition. The NGET is installing SmartValve on five circuits at three of its substation sites in the North of England, which makes 500
MW of new network capacity available in each region. This technology will help to decarbonize the U.K. electricity grid by allowing
greater volumes of renewable power to be efficiently transferred to customers. As more renewable generation comes onto the network,
depending on the weather, power flows change and circuits become unequally loaded, meaning some circuits reach maximum capacity
while others are still well below their limits. Installing modular power flow controllers at these sites allows the NGET to provide National
Grid’s Electricity System Operator with the tools to quickly reduce the congestion that limits renewable generation, with minimal impact
on communities and the environment.

Artificial Intelligence enables Smart Control and Fair Sharing of Resources in Energy Communities
Energy communities will play a key role in building the more decentralized, less carbon intensive, and fairer energy systems of the future.
Such communities enable local prosumers (consumers with own generation and storage) to generate, store and trade energy with each
other—using locally owned assets, such as wind turbines, rooftop solar panels and batteries. In turn, this enables the community to use
more locally generated renewable generation, and shifts the market power from large utility companies to individual prosumers.
A paper recently published in Applied Energy by researchers from the Smart Systems Group (SSG) at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh,
Scotland (UK), has shown that tools from distributed AI (specifically multi-agent systems) and cooperative game theory can be efficiently
used to answer these questions.

LEED AND PEER SYNERGIES – ENHANCING BUILDING, POWER
SYSTEM, COMMUNITY RESILIENCE AND REDUCING EMISSIONS
The sector accounts for 38% of all energy-related CO2 emissions when adding building construction industry emissions Direct building
CO2 emissions need to halve by 2030 to get on track for net zero carbon building stock by 2050. GBCI (Green Business Certification Inc.)
through its LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and PEER (Performance Excellence in Electricity Renewal) rating
systems are in a mission to address it. While LEED focus on reducing building sector emission, PEER focus on reducing emissions from
power sector. Further, with natural disasters on increasing trend, buildings need to be resilient and must have reliable power infrastructure
for business continuity and avoid any unforeseen losses.
Towards this direction, in addressing the global challenge and provide industry stakeholders opportunity for their efforts on net-zero
carbon, clean energy adoption, USGBC and GBCI programs were developed. Such initiatives aim to drive environmental, economic, and
social transformation in buildings and beyond. A key part of this work is advancing reliability and resilience strategies in power and
electrical systems. The next generation of green building will operate a wide range of distributed energy resources and microgrids that
will make buildings more valuable resources to our power grids. PEER is a leadership standard that focuses on improving power system
performance and electricity infrastructure. PEER’s focus on resilience and power reliability aims to improve global grid modernization
efforts and to inspire, influence, and enable the energy sector to truly build a robust 21st century infrastructure. LEED is the most widely
used green building rating system in the world and an international symbol of excellence in green building. LEED certification ensures
electricity cost savings, lower carbon emissions and healthier environments for the places we live, work, learn, and play.
To communicate the benefits of buildings that are smart, reliable, and sustainable and demonstrating the concepts of Grid-Interactive
Efficient Buildings in the market, their best practices. GBCI released a PEER and LEED Synergies guidance document, which provides a
detailed list of LEED credits that can also apply towards earning PEER certification. The guidance also highlights PEER credits which may
contribute to projects pursuing LEED certification.
Read the Peer and Leed Synergies Report
PEER and LEED are complementary and can be used independently or in tandem. GBCI’s updated synergies document provides detailed
guidance on how LEED project can benefit if it is located within a PEER project boundary and similarly how a PEER project can benefit
when it is located within a LEED project boundary. Further, the synergies document includes the case study of the University of Texas at
Austin demonstrating how a LEED project located within the PEER certified boundary was able to achieve additional points towards LEED
by utilizing the LEED EA Pilot Credit – District Energy System.
Learn more from the LEED and PEER Synergies document on how LEED and PEER can be applied together to transform the power sector
and enhance community and building level resilience globally.

WHAT TECHNOLOGICAL CHOICES SHOULD BE MADE TO
ADVANCE ELECTRIFICATION IN AFRICA?
West African countries have set ambitious goals to extend energy access to their entire territory, while 75% of the world’s unconnected
households are located in Africa. But in areas far from the central network, where populations are often dispersed over great distances,
achieving electrification projects at acceptable costs remains an immense challenge. 530 million people on the continent are concerned.
What technological choices should be made to improve access to electricity, and on the basis of what criteria? This was the topic of
the webinar organized by Think Smartgrids on 19th May, 2021 in partnership with the French Energy Regulatory Commission and the
network of French-speaking regulators RegulaE.Fr.
From individual electrification solutions to central grid extension, a diversity of solutions
The extension of national grids has long been the reference model for electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, this long and costly
process is not always the most appropriate in regions far from the central grid with low population densities. Development agencies,
regulators and African governments are increasingly turning to microgrid solutions to ensure access to electricity in remote villages.
Microgrids have the advantage of being able to be installed and commissioned quickly, at an increasingly affordable cost.
RegulaE.Fr, a network for the exchange of best practices and mutual cooperation between French-speaking regulators, is taking a close
interest in the subject. This network aims on the one hand to meet the challenges of economic development through improved access
to energy, and on the other hand to better disseminate the principles of energy regulation in French-speaking countries, as well as the
technologies that will accompany their energy transition. Microgrids are a good example: developed in France, particularly in island
territories, they can also provide concrete solutions to electrification needs in isolated African territories.

“KARMIC” UTILITIES: A FUTURE POSSIBILITY
Science, business and philosophy reside in different schools and intersect only when it must. While
the first two intersect more often, the third remains relatively isolated on its own. Business schools
teach “organizational behaviour”, but there is no business discipline that studies “chronic problem
management” for business continuity. Thus, the cause and effect of chronic problems, gets defined
only within the disciplines of philosophy. One such is the “karma” philosophy (“as you sow, so you
reap”). It comes to the fore during disasters, only to be quickly forgotten, once normalcy returns.
Businesses also classify their problems. Acute (severe) short-term problems are dealt-with quickly,
while chronic (persistent) long-term problems, get relegated as policy fixes (government’s problem).
The business adage is that as long as a policy regime is stable (however bad), the business risk is
known and hence manageable. However, chronic problems due to long-term neglect, often become cumulative (grow/recur/spread)
over time. They find strange ways to impact lives and businesses. The current chronic tally - poverty, pollution and climate change - are
good examples.
The global utility sector is no exception. Its business construct includes considerations such as (a) regulated monopoly vs market
competition; (b) core vs. non-essential; and (c) govt. vs. private control. De-risking is often achieved by opening more elements in the value
chain to competition. The premise is that, commercial contracts with prudent market rules, sustain themselves in a modern economy.
Thus, periodic changes in policies/regulations are examined by applying “stress tests” to the utility model.
This brings us to examine the critical roles that utilities (electricity, water, gas, heat/cool) play during a chronic crisis. Till date, chronic
weather-related outages appear to be the only one. In my view, there are several others emerging that will impact our distribution
utilities. These additional chronic problems will revolve around customer dissatisfaction/affordability, inadequate network capacity,
escalating service costs and frequent service disruptions. This is already in the making and like all chronic problems, remains disparate
and disconnected for now. A few highlights are given below:
1. Climate change and renewables is causing rapid transformations in last-mile electric utilization (heating, cooking, transport) thanks
to falling prices in hybrid plug-and-play solutions (PV, ESS, EV). This will be disruptive to utilities operations unless investments are
made on both sides of the meter.
2. Rising energy demand due to urban growth and lifestyle choices will become a problem particularly in developing countries
(limited space and capacity). The warmer countries will see a 5-7% annual growth in residential air-conditioner use causing night
peaks.
3. Multitude frequent disruptions due to extreme weather, un-coordinated EV charging, degraded power quality, aging and
overloaded assets will warrant prompt and repeated field attention. Technology investments alone will not be adequate and will
require close field-service presence for prompt attention.
4. Rising cost of service (higher tariffs) will emerge as a result the above factors, new investments, accelerated depreciation of digital
assets and higher borrowing costs. The potential delay in the timely regulatory treatment (below) will warrant additional financial
risk premiums.
5. Less responsive regulation due to the above rapid changes is a distinct possibility. Conflicting policy directions, public protest
to rising costs/affordability, and more complex cost-benefit analysis, could lead to delayed rulings. The typical fixed multi-year
regulatory cycle will likely be disrupted and may need to be augmented with frequent “issue-based” interim rulings.
Any and all of the above chronic scenarios will impact a utility’s business model significantly. Massive network overhaul is neither possible
nor affordable. Major tectonic shifts need to take place to meet this eventuality The following (in my view) will be the significant impacts
on the utility sector:
1. New regulatory model. The current cost-of-service regulation will likely be replaced by an affordability-based price-capped regulation
(much like capped property tax increases). To meet customer expectations, the utility will be allowed to extend their service behind
the meter. Pay-as-you-go will likely be the transactional norm leading to the “re-merger” of carriage and content charges.
2. Serve or perish. The plug-and-play hybrid technologies (PV, ESS, Chargers) empowers the customer today to deploy them. If thwarted,
many will install them without utility consent. It is in the utility’s best interest to capture this service value and stay ahead of this
curve even if it reduces their energy revenues. Such offering will include not just technology choices, but financing options as well.

3. More outsourcing. To lower operational costs and financial risks, many elements in the utility’s service chain will need to be outsourced.
Such areas include IT, telecom, call center, bill production, simple maintenance and back-office corporate functions. The utility will
focus only on its value-added areas such as breakdown maintenance, operations, customer service and planning functions. A new
and much leaner customer-facing services organization will emerge.
4. Increased financial leverage. The need for customer financing, grid upgrades and outage services together with delayed regulatory
recoveries and higher account receivables, will impose a higher financial leverage on the balance sheet. Efficient capital management
will become critical for survival. The utility will need sophisticated risk management tools and partnerships with non-banking
financial institutions (NBFI) to manage this leveraged capital structure.
Several of these chronic issues (higher tariffs, frequent weather interruptions, rising demand) have been building up in the last 10 years in
both the developed and developing countries. Customer patience towards low-cost options and rising tariffs is wearing thin. With PV at
4 cents/kwh, it is difficult to socialize grid power at 15-20 cents/kwh whatever the rationale may be for this.
There is still time for utilities and regulators to become proactive in solving some of the above issues and avoiding them coming all at
once. It will call for major adjustments all around with financial setbacks for utilities in the short-term. In closing, utilities in many ways
serve a “karmic” public function and it would be strategic to share their purpose/efforts with their customers’ prosperity for long-term
mutual benefits. As the old saying goes, “Come willingly now or be dragged forcibly later”.
