The Investment Challenge – Key
Issues Affecting Low Carbon Investors
Finance
Infrastructure
• Size of capital
expenditure
• Rate of return
• Local grid capacity
constraints
• Planning of
transmission
and distribution
investments
Regulation
• Cost recovery
regulations for low
carbon investments
• Clarity

The Regulatory Challenges across the EU
• Current focus of regional regulation is cost efficiency.
• Prices are set partially according to projections of
infrastructure maintenance cost – not Smart Grid
implementation costs.
• Cost reduction can lead to better margins but does not
incentivize investment in infrastructure.
• New business cases will change the relationship between
DSO and suppliers
• “Regulators should stick to regulating the functions of the
smart grid, not the technological solutions to achieve the
function” (UKERC )
• Business cases will be enabled by a two-way, reconfigurable
grid, allowing a higher degree of multi-dimensional opportunity
for new sources of revenues.

Cleaner, Smarter, More Efficient
Case Study – Enabling a Low
Carbon Economy
Enabling Low Carbon Economy
Problem Statement
Limitations in network visibility and control constrain the uptake of low carbon
technologies
Customer Objective
To demonstrate and identify future business processes that Distribution Network
Operators (DNO) will need to adopt to facilitate the new low carbon economy.
GE Solution
Shadow control environment providing a foundation to develop a Model, Monitor and Manage
approach comprising PowerOn Fusion™, SmallWorld ™and SMOS metering management
application with an interface to the current operational control environment .
Benefits
DNOs could collectively expect to see a net financial benefit of ~£5bn over 32 year period
through avoidance of conventional reinforcement (~£500m in a single Distribution Network)
DNOs could also expect to facilitate~34 Mt CO₂ emissions reduction nationally (UK) over the
same period
