The future energy bill for European industry, businesses and households is an electricity bill. As demand for clean electricity increases, it will be paramount that the network tariff – that part of an electricity bill which goes towards the cost of building and operating the grid – is contained. In doing so Europe’s economy will more quickly reap the benefits of electrification.
Making electricity grids cheaper: RAP’s 10 priority actions focuses on how to reduce the grid aspect of the electric energy bill of the future. These 10 priority actions either allow for less grid infrastructure to be built or for it to be built more economically:
- Integrated planning
- Flexibility for grids
- Locational pricing
- Connection management
- Digitalisation
- Non-wire solutions
- Regulatory predictability
- Anticipatory investment
- Third-party build
- Permitting
Linked resources within the brief expound on the explanations of these priority actions.
