Existing legal qualifications useful to microgrids Sample Clauses

Existing legal qualifications useful to microgrids. In terms of the electricity legislation in the UK, the 1989 Electricity Act is the most important text. In it, the relevant definitions and regimes are set for electricity market actors. As there is nothing on microgrids in this act as such, we looked for the existing legal qualifications that could fulfil the three criteria used in section 3.1: small and local, flexibility use and temporary islanding.

Existing legal qualifications useful to microgrids. The Danish Electricity Supply Act regulates the production, transport, trade and supply of electricity. Its last integrated version, dating from 6 February 2020, does not mention microgrids. Therefore, we looked for the existing legal qualifications that could fulfil the three criteria used in section 3.1: small and local, flexibility use and islanding. General distribution grid operation rules and the exemption regimes The Danish Electricity Supply Act defines what a distribution network (Distributionsnet) is and specifies that it is a network intended to supply electricity to an indefinite number of customers [258]. The distribution network is operated by a licensed DSO (Netvirksomhed)[259] which is legally unbundled from generation and supply companies [260]. Therefore, although not prohibited, a Danish DSO does not have a size or localness component. Flexibility may of course be used but temporary islanding is not part of the current regime. According to the Electricity Supply Act, the Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities may decide to exempt DSOs from the unbundling rules if the DSO (alone or together with other DSOs within the same VIU) has less than 100 000 connected electricity consumers [261]. In other words, this is only an option, subject to the Ministry’s decision. It should be noted that in any case, accounting unbundling still applies, even if such exemption is granted [262]. As a consequence, although it is interpreted a bit more strictly than in EU law, the “less than 100 000 connected customers” exemption exists in Danish law and may be used to create VIUs. Yet, the islanding issue remains. With regard to isolated systems, these are mentioned in a somewhat old version of the Electricity Supply Act only to require the competent ministry to adopt rules on the matter [263]. As explained in section 3.1.3, there is not much for potential microgrids in this legal qualification anyway. Apart from these two possibilities, we surprisingly have not found a definition nor a regime for CDSs.
Existing legal qualifications useful to microgrids. In Portugal, the Decree-Law (DL) 29/2006 regulates the production, transport, distribution and supply of electricity. It does not mention microgrids. Therefore, we assessed the existing law in order to see whether there are any provisions that could fulfil the three criteria used in section 3.1: small and local, flexibility use and temporary islanding.
