Behind the meter developments

Chapter Chapter 15 in Handbook on Electricity Regulation, 2025, pp 333-350 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: With rapid technological advances consumers have more choices and are increasingly becoming non-homogeneous on how much, when or how they use electricity. They can, for example, self-generate by installing solar panels and/or store the excess electricity in batteries, water tanks or in electric vehicles. The proliferation of such consumer-owned distributed energy resources (DERs) behind the meter (BTM) continues to radically change what services consumers need from the network and their dependence on upstream infrastructure that traditionally supplied them with services. These and other developments require entirely new ways of thinking about regulating BTM electricity services, their pricing as the traditional relationship between the customers and distribution network operators change.
