  • Added:Tuesday, October 12th, 2010
  • Writer(s):Jessica Strömbäck
  • Publication Date:October 12, 2010
  • Publisher:VaasaETT
  • Abstract:Research for this section has been carried out over the course of two years and analyzed the development of smart meter enabled programs throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. The present findings are based upon 26 intensive interviews of distribution and retailer company managers and other market experts on the developments of demand response (DR) within their respective markets. These interviews formed the basis of the list of drivers and enablers that were later investigated in a survey. This survey had two parts; the first part asked respondents to spontaneously name 5 factors which they feel are acting as drivers for DR in their markets and 5 which they feel are acting as barriers1. The aim of this section was to ascertain what drivers and barriers the experts thought of first without guidance from the researchers. The second part provided a list of drivers and enablers gathered from the in-depth interviews and asked the respondents to state on a scale of 1-7 to which extend did they agree or disagree these factors were important2. One-hundred and twenty five questionnaires were sent out and eighty-seven replies were received. The survey is presented in the Annex. This report presents the results in written and graphical form.

  • Added:Thursday, September 16th, 2010
  • Writer(s):ERGEG
  • Publication Date:September 8, 2010
  • Publisher:Council of European Energy Regulators ASBL
  • Abstract:This document (E10-CEM-34-03) presents ERGEG’s Status Review of End-User Price Regulation as of 1 January 2010. The Status Review is a follow-up to ERGEG’s 2007 Position Paper on End-user Energy Price Regulation (Ref. E07-CPR-10-03) and ERGEG’s Status Review of End-User Price Regulation as of 1 July 2008 (Ref. E08-CPR-21-05). It provides an overview of the state of play of energy price regulation in ERGEG member and observer countries as of 1 January 2010. The review looks at whether regulated prices still exist following market opening and whether there has been progress towards markets without regulated end-user prices. ERGEG did not ask how prices are regulated or which methodologies are being used. Nor does it address the reasons for price regulation or price levels.
