LEMDEx - Local Energy Market in Devon and Exeter

“英国政府认识到更广泛的社区参与的好处，希望鼓励地方能源项目。许多英国能源用户，包括该项目的合作者，都希望更好地进入能源市场。这些组织包括社区能源组织、工业和商业能源消费者、分布式发电机、能源资产的当地投资者和产消家庭。目前的英国中央能源系统和单一能源供应商模式并没有提供许多这些组织和个人所希望的参与机会。我们建议基于点对点（P2P）能源交易的地方能源市场（LEM）方法将为地方参与和更好地利用地方能源资产提供更多机会。这种方法也有可能为网络和系统管理提供更公平、更可扩展的方法。斯旺巴顿已经为此开发了一个技术平台，并进行了一些令人鼓舞的技术试验。采用LEM方法对分布式能源资产进行更好的管理，将有助于将温室气体排放量减少到第五碳预算以下。LEMDEx项目将研究部署本地能源市场的商业需求，包括任何对监管变化的依赖，并设计一个解决方案。该项目还将设计适当的支持系统，例如计费集成和整体业务模型。Swanbarton有限公司将领导LEMDEx项目，并与德文郡议会、埃克塞特市议会、埃克塞特大学和埃克塞特社区能源公司合作。LEMDEx项目的目标是设计一个系统，使当地能源市场能够在2020年在埃克塞特和德文郡进行试点。”

"The UK government wants to encourage local energy projects, recognising the benefits of wider community engagement. Many UK energy users, including the collaborators in this project, want better access to the energy market. These include organisations such as community energy groups, industrial and commercial energy consumers, distributed generators, local investors in energy assets and prosumer households. The current centralised UK energy system and the single energy supplier model is not providing the engagement opportunities that many of these organisations and individuals desire.We propose that a Local Energy Market (LEM) approach based on peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading would provide greater opportunities for local engagement and better use of local energy assets. This approach also has potential to deliver a fairer and more scalable approach for network and system management. Swanbarton has already developed a technology platform for this purpose and run some encouraging technology trials.Better management of distributed energy assets, using a LEM approach, will help to reduce greenhouse gases below the 5th carbon budget.The LEMDEx project will study the commercial requirements for deploying a Local Energy Market, including any dependencies on regulatory change, and design a solution. The project will also design appropriate supporting systems, such as billing integration, and the overall business model.Swanbarton Limited will lead the LEMDEx project and work in collaboration with Devon County Council, Exeter City Council, the University of Exeter and Exeter Community Energy.The objective of the LEMDEx project is to design a system that would allow Local Energy Markets to be piloted in Exeter and Devon in 2020\."
