This report gives an overview of the different regulatory schemes applied to promote
renewable energy sources in Denmark, with a special analysis on the legal framework
for self-consumption. To do this report, first-hand sources have been used and translated,
with the assessment of local experts.
It includes an overview of the Danish electricity market as well as its integration of
renewable. To do so, a legislation analysis is carried following with a more in-depth
study of the evolution of the self-consumption schemes in Denmark. It is reached the
conclusion that the only benefit for self-consumers are taxation benefits using hourly
net settlements.
There exist two types of hourly settlement: group 1, where all the electricity is exchanged
to the market and group 2, where only the surplus or lacking electricity is
exchanged. In addition, depending whether the production plant is connected to the
consumption point internally or using the external grid, the billing differs.
The different schemes are modelled and formulated. Simulations are performed in
order to assess the behaviour of the electricity cost for the different schemes. It has
been found that the prosumers with only one point of access to the grid have a much
lower electricity price than the others. Moreover, the group 2 where only the surplus
of electricity is sold is also found to be slightly more beneficial. |
