New Business Models for the Distribution Edge
The document argues that traditional utility business models, based on natural monopolies and centralized generation, are ill-equipped for the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs). It proposes a transition from a linear value chain to a 'value constellation' where the utility acts as a platform for value-based transactions. The paper outlines several potential models, including the Integrated Distributed Resource Manager, the Distributed Resource Finance Aggregator, and the Independent Distribution Network Operator, while discussing international examples of transactive grids and differentiated network charges.
