Electrification and CER Integration Flexible Services Regulatory Proposal

This document is a regulatory proposal outlining the integration of electrification and customer energy resources (CER) through flexible services for the period 2026-2031. It details the evolving role of distribution networks in response to the increasing uptake of distributed solar photovoltaic systems and electric vehicles. The proposal highlights the need for flexible tools to manage network capacity effectively, as traditional static controls are becoming inadequate. Stakeholder engagement is emphasized, showcasing customer preferences for solar export options and the importance of fairness and equity in solar capacity allocation. The document also presents an analysis of customer willingness to pay for solar export capabilities and the perceived benefits and concerns associated with flexible export products. The preferred option involves introducing flexible services that allow for dynamic management of solar exports, ensuring both solar and non-solar customers benefit from the integration of renewable energy sources.
