Identified Barriers Sample Clauses
The 'Identified Barriers' clause defines and addresses specific obstacles or impediments that may affect the performance or completion of contractual obligations. In practice, this clause typically requires the parties to list known barriers at the outset of the agreement, such as regulatory hurdles, resource limitations, or site access issues, and may outline procedures for managing or mitigating these barriers as the project progresses. Its core function is to ensure transparency and proactive management of foreseeable challenges, thereby reducing the risk of disputes and delays by clarifying responsibilities and expectations regarding known obstacles.
Identified Barriers. The Dutch case study, conducted in the context of the task 6.4, focused on the identification of contextual factors that influenced the development of smart grids in the 5 The Dutch DSOs created a company called Energy Data Service Netherlands (EDSN) in 2002 that had initially been working with external IT partners to provide standardized bilateral communication between market entities. 6 The regulation is technology-neutral. It supports efficient investments, not considering their nature. “System network operators are currently expected to make the investments that are necessary to contribute to a more sustainable and renewable energy chain, for example, infrastructure for solar panels or wind farms. The method of regulation enables system operators to make an appropriate return on these investments”. (Autoriteit Consumert & Markt 2017) Netherlands. Relevant stakeholders expressed their perceptions on the main factors influencing smart grid deployment. As stated in the original analysis, “market and regulatory reform was the most important contextual factor for implementing Smart Grids” in the Netherlands (Fujiwara, Williges and ▇▇▇▇▇ 2017). Below we present and discuss the individual barriers, structured around the three categories presented in section 2, namely: (i) institutions and governance, (ii)innovation and investment-related issues and (iii) attitudes, behaviour and lifestyle. Concerns have been voiced for the current market and regulatory framework prescribing an unbundled energy market model that was characterized by Dutch stakeholders as a blocking factor since reportedly it limits free communication and collaboration among market entities, which is a prerequisite for the successful deployment of smart grids. The unbundling of the energy system made the adoption of smart grids a complex issue with many actors involved. The fact that grid operators are regulated public entities with limits to their cooperation with energy supplying companies, was especially considered to be in contrast to the mandate of smart grid technologies for close cooperation of these entities (Fujiwara, Williges and ▇▇▇▇▇ 2017). Dutch experts also highlighted that due to this limitation, DSOs are not allowed to provide smart devices to consumers as this would interfere with the competition of energy supplying companies, and they cannot exchange data with retailers. Furthermore, DSOs are not allowed to own, develop, manage or operate storage assets (eurelectric 2017). Suc...
