The Energy Networks Association in the UK and Ireland is looking for insights into how to enable distributed energy sources ( DER ) , such as solar panels , electric vehicles and batteries , to provide electricity to the grid . The undertaken by the organisation that represents the interests of national gas and electricity distribution operators aims to study the use of DER and evaluate the benefits of competition and third - party involvement . Key considerations will include what DE DER should use to supply power to network operators , how operators can have oversight and control over DER and commercial issues to do with curtailing transmission to meet transmission constraints .
The Energy Networks Association in the UK and Ireland is looking for insights into how to enable distributed energy resources (DER), such as solar panels, electric vehicles and batteries, to provide services to the grid. The consultation by the organisation that represents the interests of national gas and electricity distribution operators aims to study the use of DER and evaluate the benefits of competition and third-party involvement. Key considerations will include what models DER should use to deliver power to network operators, how operators can have oversight and control over DER and commercial issues to do with curtailing DER to meet transmission constraints.
