1 1 The energy sector reloaded Association of Energy Market Innovators

2 2 Discourse at bne is very much in line with our approach as a network company. That s because the combination of expertise across sectors, especially interaction between services, energy-sector know-how, software intelligence and logistics expertise, is what is decisive in the new decentralised energy markets. Dr. Christian Feißt, CEO, BEEGY GmbH bne Market, competition, innovation: bne and its members are committed to these three elements. After all, continuous development is the key to success in tomorrow s digital and renewable world of energy. Our members operate on all levels of the value chain: from electricity and gas distribution to smart energy and other services, right through to mobility. For more than ten years, we have been working successfully to ensure that new business models get a fair chance.

3 3 a strong voice, a strong network Strengthening competition is the key to safe, clean and affordable energy supply. We have to say goodbye to exceptions, subsidies and other restrictions. Opportunities can be found in networked, smart offers that go beyond the delivery of kilowatt-hours and open up new levels of the value chain. bne and its continuously growing number of members are pioneers in this field. We are synonymous for a new competitive energy sector. In its capacity as a driver for market, competition and innovation in the energy sector, bne s opinion is highly regarded by politicians and public agencies. We regularly share our expertise at hearings and expert committee meetings in ministries, parliament and regulatory authorities at both government and federal-state level. bne has also become established in Brussels where it works with a partner network. The member companies value our extensive knowledge, our fast and good consultancy offer and our efficient structure. We have no time for unnecessary red tape. Our positions are drawn up in close co-operation with our members and we communicate them clearly, in a straightforward manner. We believe in a co-operative and solution-based approach. We regularly come together at workshops or conferences with the relevant representatives from the worlds of politics, business and science in order to discuss the topics that matter to the sector. bne is valued because our work is constructive and not limited to mere criticism. bne is popular among the press, radio and television and is seen as a professional partner when it comes to thinking outside the box.

5 5 Germany s Energiewende calls for flexibility at the consumer end. With demand response, we want to offer electricity customers better access to the market and hence make use of their flexibility in electricity procurement and consumption. We are working together with bne to develop suitable rules for this! Oliver Stahl, Managing Director Europe at EnerNOC in Munich, Germany new, digital and networked business models. The energy internet is no longer just a vision. We are committed to ensuring that innovative ideas and offers for the energy world of tomorrow get a fair chance. a modern and smart infrastructure. Energy grids in Germany are still severely fragmented with more than 1,600 operators for gas and electricity on distribution level. This structure, the only one of its kind worldwide, is an obstacle to many new solutions in the energy sector. For years now, bne has been demanding a real division between grid and distribution on all levels. a modern and flexible electricity market design. As the supply of renewable energy increases, there is a greater need for flexibility in order to balance generation and consumption and to guarantee electricity supply. This means creating a mix of flexible generation, load management, trading and storage. With our Decentralized Flexibility Market concept, distributed flexibility can be organised in a competitive manner and digitally networked. a modern metering market. We are in favour of a clear-cut competitive approach that has its sights set on complete liberalisation of the metering sector. We need a framework that facilitates responsible and safe use of data and at the same time serves consumer interests. standardised business processes. In the age of digitisation, sales teams still have to go a long way to collect reliable data, for instance, for delivery and handling. We are working hard in key areas to promote uniform data formats and standardised processes, so that stakeholders can focus on what they do best, i.e. attractive offers for consumers.
