State decarbonization goals and visions for large-scale electrification of the thermal and transportation sectors necessitate increased and accelerated deployment of renewable and distributed energy resources (DERs). The existing electrical infrastructure and supporting interconnection and permitting processes will need to be updated to support efficient and cost-effective renewable energy deployment at scale. Common challenges that increase the cost of integrating renewables include mismatches in timing between renewable energy production and peak electricity consumption, as well as the physical distance between large renewable energy systems and electric load centers.

Grid-connected microgrids hold the potential to facilitate the integration of renewable energy generation without expensive grid reinforcements, improve energy efficiency, resiliency and most importantly cut on costs and carbon. With an increasing number of distributed energy resources and dropping costs of energy storage, balancing energy supply and demand on a local level can create a variety of advantages. Wouter Vermeiden, Manager Business Development at ZOWN, and Demijan Panic, Innovation at E.ON, were joined by Thomas Boersma, Project Manager at Solarplaza, to explore opportunities for grid-connected microgrids.

Siobhan and Nicolas will focus on the complementarity of PV and storage as a brick toward 100% renewable energy generation from the perspective of a technical and commercial advisor. Important technical aspects will be covered, such as grid connection, capex and opex savings. They will also look at the emergence of DC coupling, its advantages and limitations. Finally, to provide a wider overview of the subject from an investor perspective, Romain will discuss the specificities of project financing of hybrid PV + storage assets, such as the revenue stack, how investors view these and how the co-location can build a stronger case. A mixture of presentations and a moderated panel shall make this an interesting and interactive event.
