How regulation shapes DSO digitalization investment and profitability
The energy transition and increasing integration of renewables require smarter grid investment strategies, with digitalization offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional infrastructure reinforcement. However, existing regulatory frameworks often fail to provide appropriate economic signals to support asset-light, digital investments. This study investigates how different regulatory models shape distribution system operators’ profitabili…
Unveiling regulatory feedback effects in power grid digitalization and network operation
Digitalization plays a critical role in the transformation of electricity distribution systems, enabling greater efficiency, flexibility, and integration of renewable energy sources. However, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) often face regulatory and economic barriers that hinder investments in digital technologies. This study adopts a qualitative System Dynamics (SD) approach to explore the complex, feedback-driven interactions between regul…
From investment to net benefits
The electricity sector is transforming to integrate renewable energy sources while ensuring grid quality, efficiency, and reliability. Such a transformation demands major investments from both private and public stakeholders. Economic appraisal tools such as cost–benefit analysis (CBA) have become increasingly relevant in identifying investments that optimize financial and social net benefits. Despite this, many CBA applications in the electricit…
Sustainable energy for slums? Using the Sustainable Development Goals to guide energy access efforts in a Kenyan informal settlement
Urban and peri-urban communities across the Global South face considerable energy access challenges with over one billion people living without adequate access to basic services such as energy, water, and healthcare. Lack of access to modern energy services has cascading effects on the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this article we address this issue, using the SDGs as …
