Romanian Energy Day 2018 Andreea Strachinescu Head of Unit -New energy technologies and innovation DG Energy – European Commission Brussels, 5-6 of June 2018

European Challenges Energy Union Modernise our economy by bringing down greenhouse gas emissions while creating jobs and growth Energy Union The EU as the world leader on renewable energy and placing energy efficiency first based on new technologies and industrial leadership Ensure a socially fair transition where regions, cities and consumers play an active role 2

Winter package - market design LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS On 30 November 2016 the European Commission presented a package of measures to keep the European Union competitive as the clean energy transition changes global energy markets. The Commission wants the EU to lead the clean energy transition, not only adapt to it. For this reason the EU has committed to cut CO2 emissions by at least 40% by 2030 while modernising the EU's economy and delivering on jobs and growth for all European citizens. New Electricity Market Design Revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and bioenergy sustainability policy for 2030 (RES share of at least 27% in the EU in 2030); Communication on the most vital energy infrastructures Revision of the Regulation on security of electricity supply. Governance of the Energy Union (preparing the ground for creating Integrated National Energy and Climate Plans for the period of 2021 to 2030). An Energy Union research, innovation and competitiveness strategy for a low carbon economy (EURICS) Second State of the Energy Union

The transformation of the energy system starts with innovation

EU energy R&I policy Clean energy for all Europeans SET-Plan Energy Union Smart Cities H2020

The Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Adoption in 2008 Set-up of European Industrial Initiatives for technologies and coordination of the research actions of EU and Member States for technologies with market impact up to 2020 and beyond Integrated SET Plan Communication (2015) Technologies and innovation Platforms (industry and Member States) and four core priorities (RES, consumers, energy efficiency, sustainable transport – supporting the Energy Union) + CCS and nuclear 10 Key Actions 6

The Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) Overall objective: Accelerating the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies through cooperation among EU countries, companies, research institutions, and the EU itself, based on common priorities, targets and actions. Defining priorities SET-Plan Communication 2015 Setting targets Declaration of Intents Implementation Plans (IP) Temporary Working Groups Execution of IPs Priority Actions: 1+2. Improving performance and reducing cost of renewable energy Smart solutions for consumers: Smart Cities Smart Resilient and Secure Energy System Energy Efficiency in Buildings Energy Efficiency in Industry Batteries and e-Mobility Renewable Fuels and Bioenergy Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage Nuclear Safety

Conclusions Technologies can be standardised but not the business models Islands and isolated communities are interesting test cases Need to define services and fair share of remuneration among stakeholders Technologies can be standardised but not the business models - still several differences among EU countries, the regulatory frameworks and how the consumers are playing the game Islands and isolated communities are interesting test cases where the cost of energy is usually higher and potential new infrastructure expensive Need to define services and associated remuneration Fair share of remuneration between stakeholders We are at the beginning of this exercise and first projects will be normally completed in 2018 - 1st report of the business models group expected for the end of this year

R&D topics for the digitalisation of the energy system IoT HPC 5G AC - DC – hybrid grids Power electronics Cybersecurity Blockchain EV

Digitalisation to support the energy transition Active network management: procurement of services by network operators in markets and on platforms Optimisation of asset management through toolbox for data analysis, management and processing Interoperability for smart homes, buildings and grids Development, test and demonstration of cyber-security technologies for the electricity system Digitalisation involves a wide range of components, devices and systems in the grid, all interconnected. On top of the technical layer, at the same time, a market place is enabled where consumers – become prosumers in the meantime with the distributed RES generation – can sell or buy energy at the most convenient conditions.
