Delta-EE Whitepaper: Accelerating the energy transition with Home Energy Management

Updated: 06 Feb 2020 2:14pm

541.87 KB pdf

Home Energy Management (HEM) sits at the intersection of the energy transition and digitalisation. It couldn’t exist without both, and both are accelerating. The pace is such that HEM will become a must-consider, for anyone who wants to be successful in new energy in the home. We predict that the market for HEM will grow significantly in the short term, and likely boom in the medium and long term, creating strong opportunities for a wide range of companies across Europe.

The role of energy insights in competitive European energy retail markets With rising customer expectations, stronger competition in energy retail markets and a shift from commodity to energy services, residential customer engagement becomes an important component of success for energy suppliers. They are looking to energy insights services as a critical tool for customer engagement and to unlock opportunity for new energy services. Delta-EE’s energy insights database helps energy companies better understand the evolving landscape of retail market competitiveness, smart meter rollout, residential customer numbers and churn and energy insight app usage across European countries and retailers.All the data used in this article come from the energy insights customer engagement database.

The New Energy Letter: May 2020 At the current time it’s difficult to think about the energy transition without thinking about the current COVID-19 crisis. The economic downturn affects all parts of the economy, depresses energy demand, and impacts the whole energy value chain. But what specifically does it mean for the transition from old to new energy? We’ve identified five key pointsDigitalisation will accelerate. Companies with digital customer channels are less affected. Automated processes, such as those used by demand side flexibility providers, are carrying on as normal. Connected home propositions built around peace of mind may get more traction. These are just three examples.‘As a Service’ business models will gain more traction. Upfront capital will be harder to find for businesses and individuals alike. From electrification of fleets to new heating systems, propositions that remove upfront payments will be well positioned.Subsidies & incentives are under pressure, but there are opportunities for ‘green’ stimulus packages. On one hand, government spending on the energy transition will come under pressure. Business models dependent on subsidies and incentives may suffer. On the other hand, if stimulus to kick-start economic growth have a green tinge to them, this could open new opportunities. Finally, historically low oil prices may be a once in a generation opportunity to reduce the US$500 trillion global subsidies that fossil fuels receive.Innovation without a big price tag. Grand, shiny, expensive innovation projects have gradually been going out of fashion as companies focus on rapid, agile, fail-fast approaches to innovation. The crisis will accelerate this. Big new projects won’t be big priorities for most companies; but low-cost innovation will enable companies to keep pushing forward on the transition to new energy.A further boost for localisation of energy. The current crisis has highlighted the fragility of our global, just-in-time supply chains and interconnected economies. One scenario for how we come out of the crisis is an increased focus on resilience, localisation and decentralisation. This backdrop would add a further boost for the rapidly emerging community and local energy sectors.The current crisis is affecting us all – and our thoughts go out to those directly affected by the virus. The speed of the impact has been staggering. It has meant decisions are being taken incredibly quickly, organisations and people are adapting amazingly, and innovative approaches are being developed in days rather than months.

Introducing Local Energy Systems Business Models • What kind of business models are being implemented for Local Energy Systems?
• How do the various business models actually work, which ones offer the greatest potential?
• What is the role for energy suppliers and network operators?
• Where does the value come from?
In the previous Delta-EE webinar introducing Local Energy Systems, we presented an overview of the kind of concepts and projects that were emerging. A number of questions were raised, including those above, which this forthcoming webinar will seek to address.
We will outline the characteristics of the various models being implemented and explain their respective advantages and limitations. Some of these are well-established and are both scalable and profitable. Other, more innovative models seek to engage with communities and capture alternative revenue streams in a world where subsidies for renewable energy are being withdrawn.
The webinar will include a number of case studies intended to illustrate particular characteristics which affect the economic or other values of each approach with a detailed look at the German Mieterstrom model.

Shell’s dividend cut could be a seminal moment for the energy transition I’ve always argued that the acid test for Big Oil and their commitment to active, positive participation in the energy transition will come when the oil price crashes. When that happens, will they revert to their core businesses of fossil fuel extraction and processing, while cutting back on less profitable and non-core activities such as new energy? That moment has arrived. Oil prices have crashed to multi-decade lows as demand has plummeted following the stalling of the world economy, while oil supply has been much slower to respond.

Why Australia is becoming a leading market for virtual power plants using residential energy storage Given it’s one of the world’s top exporters of coal, Australia might not be top of mind when it comes to new energy. One area where it is ahead of the curve though, is virtual power plants (VPPs) using residential energy storage. Indeed, ignoring any near-term market disruption due to COVID-19, we see the potential for a doubling of residential storage assets taking part in a VPP over the coming year or so. This will take the installed base active in a VPP to 10,000 systems. Alongside Germany, this makes Australia one of the most active global markets we have seen. At Delta-EE, we decided to look at what has been fuelling this growth down under. Here, I set out some of the key reasons we identified:

2019: 0% annual sales growth in the Dutch Smart Thermostat Market A bit of history…The Netherlands was one of the first markets to innovate with connected controls in Europe. With over 80% of Dutch boilers working with the OpenTherm protocol, smart thermostats could relatively easily be connected. In the early 2010s, while Nest was making a name for itself in the US, some start-ups were similarly trying to capture opportunities in the Dutch market, and Quby was at the forefront of it. At the same time, control companies, such as Honeywell, and heating manufacturers, such as Nefit, started to develop their own offers.

The wave of Connected Air Conditioning is coming to Europe The US AC control market was hit first by the digital revolution, with companies such as Nest, Ecobee and Honeywell becoming the three best sellers of smart thermostats, but AC in the US and AC in Europe are two completely different systems. The first is a centralised system with one thermostat in the middle of it; the second is made of room by room units of AC which are each controlled with an infrared remote in most cases.In Europe, connectivity specialists have decided to start with smart thermostats (for boilers) and connected radiator valves (TRVs), the two main control products in the largest EU countries. More recently, they have also been looking at other kind of products controlling space heating, hot water or space cooling, and it is now clear that Air Conditioner controls are one of the next growth potentials.

EMMES 4.0 is here - the latest on the European energy storage market Join this webinar to find out:
• How has the overall European storage market developed over the last 12 months?
• What are the trends in three major energy storage segments shaping the market and how will this change in 2020?
• How is European policy affecting the market today and shaping it into the future?
During the webinar, we will share highlights from the 4th edition of the European Market Monitor for Energy Storage (EMMES 4.0) which was published in March 2020 and is now available for purchase. EMMES is the definitive analysis of European energy storage markets, produced by leading new energy research consultancy Delta-EE, in close partnership with EASE (European Association for Storage of Energy).

Digital energy insights apps and tools – how well are they meeting residential customer needs? Energy consumption insights are increasingly being used by energy retailers in Europe as part of their residential energy customer engagement and digital transformation strategies. There are clear customer benefits including improved understanding and control of their energy usage and spend, with advances being made in the breadth and sophistication of energy insights solutions. This webinar will explore:
• The size and opportunity of the European energy insights market
• Customer behaviour and perceptions of energy insights services
• How the energy insights market will evolve in the future

The time is now for air/air heat pumps – capturing the opportunity The market for air/air heat pumps has long been established, particularly for cooling – but based on our recent research under the Electrification of Heat Service we believe there is significant untapped potential for A/A HP to be used for residential heating in Europe. In some market segments, A/A HP could even threaten the incumbent hydronic systems.
So why do we think the stars are aligning for A/A HP right now in the heating market when the technology has been around for decades? What are the target markets and sectors where we see this opportunity growing? How big and how valuable is this opportunity? And who will be most successful in capturing this opportunity?

The state of the European public EV charging market Access to public charging infrastructure is widely considered a critical enabler for EV uptake. With combined public-sector pressure and commercial opportunity, Europe’s public charging market is developing fast and Energy stakeholders are eager to not miss out. In this webinar, Delta-EE will share some of its research into this market, answering questions such as:
- Where are Europe’s chargepoints and how do countries differentiate from each other?
- How should I segment the public charging market?
- Where does the investment come from and what are the business models?
- Who are the market leaders today?
