The decarbonization targets and the development of renewable and low carbon technologies are changing the electricity systems in UK and worldwide. The sustainable implementation of this changes in the energy markets can be achieved only if the consumers/ prosumers are rightly incentivised. Furthermore, the integration of the system, transmission and distribution network operators in the overall local energy portfolio is crucial for the successful and practical operation of the smart local energy systems (SLES).

Since its inception in the 1980s, the wind industry has established itself as a critical source of clean, renewable energy – a role it must maintain into the future. Going forward, the continued growth of the global wind industry will prove ever more important, with DNV estimating that 5.6 terawatts of onshore wind energy and nearly three terawatts of offshore wind must be generated to achieve a “pathway to net zero” scenario by 2050

Installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity has grown rapidly in the United States over the past decade, reaching nearly 74 gigawatts-AC as of the end of 2020. Approximately one-third of this capacity (28 gigawatts) is distributed PV, including residential, community, and commercial solar installations (Davis et al. 2021). A combination of technology cost declines, federal incentives, and state policy support have driven increased deployment and enabled more communities to access the benefits of PV. Increasingly, solar is playing an important role in local plans such as resilience planning, sustainability planning, and climate action planning.

The clean energy transition means shifting electricity production away from sources that release significant greenhouse gases, such as fossil fuels, to those that release minimal greenhouse gases. Nuclear power, hydro, wind and solar are the primary clean energy sources. Around two-thirds of the world’s electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels. In order to progress toward climate goals, particularly those outlined in the Paris Agreement, at least 80% of energy production will need to shift to low-carbon sources.
