Value Management - Future Business Models: Options and Analysis
Abstract:
This project studied how value can be delivered across a smart energy value chain - in the context of the UK. It built a clear understanding of how smart energy systems can deliver combined consumer value alongside commercial value for market participants - producers, suppliers, distributors. The analysis will help to make the commercial deploy ment of smart energy systems more likely. This £600,000 project was delivered by Frontier Economics, a leading economic consultancyAn important part of the SSH Programme is Value Management and Delivery which addresses the key issue of how value can be delivered across the entire smart systems value chain (in the context of the UK). T he premise here is to understand how smart energy systems can deliver value to all market participants, with the customer at the heart, thereby making commercial deployment more likely. The report de scribes four initial business models (and two additional hybrids) representing a range of potential approaches to delivering value in the new low-carbon smart energy sys tem and provides an initial, indicative evaluation of these business models.Work Area 4 addresses how value can be delivered across the smart systems energy value ch ains. The outputs of this work will support and assist the ETI with the evolution and development of possible business models.Meeting carbon targets will require a radical chang e in heating technologies and energy supply. We have produced four initial business models (and two additional hybrids) representing a range of potential approaches todeliveringvalue inthenew low-carbon smart energy system.We have also developed a sophisticated business model evaluation tool (BMET) to help structure the ETI&rsqu o;s thinking around the assessment of these models. Our aim was to produce business models representing a broad range of possible opportunities for delivering value in a low-carbon economy. This report describes and provides an initial,indicative evaluation of four business models and two hybrids:
- Energy Outcomes, and a hybrid including additional storage;
- Energy Mutual;
- Community Energy, and a hybrid including Energy Outcomes; and
- Power Buffer.
