Final Report of the WG Clean Energy Package
Document Reference: CENCLCETSI_SEG-CG/Sec/00115/DC
104 End of November 2016, the European Commission presented a package of measures [1][2] to keep the European
105 Union competitive as the clean energy transition is changing global energy markets. Within the scope of the Clean
106 Energy Package, consumers shall be active and central players on the energy markets of the future, having a better
107 choice of supply, access to reliable energy price comparison tools and the possibility to produce and sell their own
108 electricity. The legislative proposals cover energy efficiency, renewable energy, the design of the electricity market,
109 security of supply and governance rules for the Energy Union, pursuing the three main goals of putting energy
110 efficiency first, achieving global leadership in renewable energies and providing a fair deal for consumers.
111 In order to support the deployment of the outcome of the Clean Energy Package by providing the adequate set of
112 standards, the CG-SEG has correspondingly established the WG ‘Clean Energy Package’ (WG-CEP), noting that
113 the CG-SEG WG ‘Set of Standards’ (WG-STD) would remain the point of convergence for the assessment and
114 ranking of gaps.
115 This report issued by WG-CEP intends to address both the final key legal propositions of the Clean Energy Package
116 which are considered as most relevant for standardisation as well as an initial assessment of priority topics with
117 possible implications on the updated WG-STD ‘First set of standards’ as former deliverable of M/490 [3] and the
118 related standardisation work programme in general.
119 Summarising the content of this final report, Section 1 lists the relevant reference documents as key input for this
120 report.
121 Section 2 provides an executive summary incl. the relevant findings of the WG-CEP work.
122 Section 4 therefore outlines the key principles of the Clean Energy Package and in more details for the revision of
123 the following legal propositions:
129 The scope and objectives of the WG-CEP are detailed in section 5.
130 Section 6 outlines the methodology used by WG-CEP to identify and assess the initial standardisation priority topics
131 resulting from the key Clean Energy Package legal propositions for further processing (e.g. gap analysis and ranking
132 by stakeholder survey) within the WG-STD workstream.

144 From 2009 until the present, European legislation for electricity and gas grids within EU member states were mainly
145 driven by the EU Third Energy Package which determines the high-level legislative requirements for energy market
146 and grids within the EU single market.
147 The Third Energy Package is a European legislative package for an internal gas and electricity market, with the
148 purpose to further open up the gas and electricity markets in the EU. The package was proposed by the European
149 Commission in September 2007 and adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union by
150 July 2009, entering into force on 3rd September 2009.
152 Ownership unbundling, which stipulates the separation of utilities’ generation and sale operations from their
153 transmission networks,
154 Establishment of a National Regulatory Authority (NRA) for each Member State and the Agency for the
155 Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) which provides a forum for NRAs to cooperate,
157 Regulation of grid investments as well as generation, wholesale and utility markets though the establishment
158 of regulated grid fees, system support services and incentives related to
159 o investments
164 At the end of November 2016, the European Commission presented a package of measures to keep the European
165 Union competitive as the clean energy transition is changing global energy markets [1][2]. It should furthermore
166 present an opportunity to speed both the clean energy transition and growth and job creation.
167 Consumers shall be active and central players in the energy markets of the future. Consumers across the EU will in
168 the future have a better choice of supply, access to reliable energy price comparison tools and the possibility to
169 produce and sell their own electricity. Increased transparency and better regulation give more opportunities for civil
170 society to become more involved in the energy system and respond to price signals. The package also contains a
171 number of measures aimed at protecting the most vulnerable consumers.
172 The legislative proposals cover energy efficiency, renewable energy, the design of the electricity market, security of
173 supply and governance rules for the Energy Union. The package pursues three main goals:
175 o Making sure that energy efficiency is taken into account throughout the energy system, i.e. actively
176 managing demand so as to optimise energy consumption, reduce costs for consumers and import
177 dependency
178 o Extend beyond 2020 the energy saving obligations set out in the Energy Efficiency Directive
179 o Promoting clean energy buildings and accelerating building renovation rates by reinforcing
180 provisions on long-term building renovation strategies
181 o Supporting the delivery of the EU's low-emission mobility strategy with e-mobility as one of the key
182 driver
183 o Improving Ecodesign and energy labelling with regard to a number of product-specific measures
185 o Setting a regulatory framework that allows a level playing field for all renewables technologies
186 without jeopardising climate and energy targets
187 o Allowing renewable electricity generators to earn increasing shares of their revenues from the
188 market
190 o Increasing Member State’s share of renewable fuels in heating and cooling, district heating and
191 cooling operators to open up their network to competition and encourage the take-up of for instance
192 heat pumps
194 o Extending the existing EU sustainability criteria to cover all types of bioenergy
196 o Empowering consumers and enable them to be more in control of their choices when it comes to
197 energy and to provide them with better information about their energy consumption and their costs
198 o Making it easier for consumers to generate their own energy, store it, share it, consume it or sell it
199 back to the market, directly or as energy cooperatives
200 All legislative proposals have been intensively discussed and widely amended during the negotiation process taking
201 place between the European Commission, the Parliament and the Council. As result of the negotiations, the Clean
202 Energy Package was technically finalized at the beginning of June 2019 with the publication of the last documents,
203 the Electricity Market Regulation and the Electricity Market Directive.
204 The amendments contained in the package which are technically most relevant for smart grids are outlined in the
205 following table and described in the following sections.
Electricity market design and (EU) 2019/943 - Revised Electricity Market (EU) 714/2009
security of supply Regulation (CELEX 32019R0943) [7]

Renewable energy (EU) 2018/2001 - Revised Renewable 2009/28/EC
Energy Directive (CELEX 32018L2001) [9]
208 The Regulation amends the key legal acts that were part of the Third Energy Package. These include the Electricity
209 Market Regulation (No 714/2009) and the Electricity Market Directive (No 2009/72/EC), alongside the Regulation
210 establishing ACER (No 713/2009).
211 Chapter I of the Regulation sets out the scope and subject matter and the definitions of terms used in it. It
212 emphasises the importance of undistorted market signals to provide for increased flexibility, decarbonisation and
213 innovation and updates and complements the main definitions used in the Regulation.
214 Chapter II of the Regulation introduces a new Article which sets out the key principles to be respected by national
215 energy legislation in order to allow for a functioning internal electricity market. It also sets out the main legal
216 principles for electricity trading rules within different trading timeframes (balancing, intraday, day-ahead and forward
217 markets), including principles for price formulation. It clarifies the principle of balancing responsibility and provides
218 for a framework for more market compatible rules for the dispatch and curtailment of generation and demand
219 response, including conditions for any exceptions thereof.
220 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
221 New principles regarding the operation of electricity markets (new Article 3):
223 o Customers shall be enabled to benefit from market opportunities and increased competition on retail
224 markets and be empowered to act as participant in the energy market and the energy transition
225 o Integration of electricity from RES and providing incentives for energy efficiency
226 o Deliver appropriate investment incentives for generation, storage, energy efficiency and demand
227 response to meet market needs and facilitate fair competition
228 o All producers shall be directly or indirectly responsible for selling the electricity they generate
229 o Enable the efficient dispatch of generation assets, energy storage and demand response
230 o Market rules shall allow for entry and exit of electricity generation, energy storage and electricity
231 supply undertakings based on their assessment of the economic and financial viability of their
232 operations
233 o Long-term hedging products shall be tradable on exchanges in a transparent manner and long-term
234 supply contracts shall be negotiable over the counter, to comply with EU competition law
235 New balancing responsibility (new Article 5), where all market participants shall aim for system balance and
236 shall be financially responsible for imbalances they cause in the system.
237 New provisions on the balancing market (new Article 6), where all market participants shall have access to.
238 It shall take into account of the different technical capability of generation from variable RES and demand
239 side response and storage. The imbalances shall be settled at a price that reflects the real time value of
240 energy, based on products to be developed in this area,
241 New provisions on Day-ahead and intraday markets and trading (new Articles 7 and 8), where TSOs and
242 nominated electricity market operators (NEMOs) shall jointly organise the management of the integrated
243 day-ahead and intraday markets based on market coupling. Market operators shall be free to develop
244 products and trading opportunities that suit market participants' demand and needs.
245 New technical bidding limits (new Article 10), depending on different conditions. In general, there shall be no
246 maximum or minimum limit of the wholesale electricity price.
247 New provisions on dispatching of generation and demand response (new Article 12), where TSOs shall give
248 priority to generating installations using RES or high efficiency cogeneration from small generating
249 installations or generating installations using innovative technologies.
250 New provisions on redispatching and curtailment (new Article 13), using market-based mechanisms and be
251 financially compensated and open to all generation technologies, storage and demand response. Non-
252 market-based curtailment or redispatching of generation or redispatching of demand response shall only be
253 used where no market-based alternative is available.
254 Chapter III of the Regulation describes the process to define bidding zones in a coordinated manner, in line with the
255 review process created in Regulation 1222/2015 establishing a Guideline on Capacity Calculation and Congestion
256 Management. In order to address the persisting problem of significant national limitations to cross-border electricity
257 flows, the conditions for such exceptional limitations are clarified, notably by rules that shall ensure that electricity
258 imports and exports are not restricted by national actors for economic reasons. This Chapter further contains
259 amendments to pre-existing principles for transmission and distribution network tariffs and sets a procedure for
260 fostering the progressive convergence of transmission and distribution tariff methodologies. It also sets out amended
261 rules for the usage of congestion rents.
262 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
263 Allocation of cross-zonal capacity across timeframes to be provided by TSOs (new Article 17)
264 Adaption of the charges for connection and access to networks (Article 18, formerly Article 14) incl.
265 o Access charges are more specified including charges for connection to the networks, for use of
266 networks, for related network reinforcements, network security and flexibility
267 o Charges shall not discriminate against energy storage or aggregation and shall not create
268 disincentives for participation in demand response, self-generation or self-consumption
269 o Tariffs shall grant appropriate incentives to TSO and DSO, over both the short and long term, to
270 increase efficiencies, including energy efficiency, foster market integration and security of supply,
271 and support investments and the related research activities
272 o Tariffs shall reflect the cost of use of the transmission and distribution network by system users
273 including active customers, and may be differentiated based on system users' consumption or
274 generation profiles, considering the deployment of smart metering systems
275 o Regulatory authorities shall provide incentives to distribution system operators to procure services
276 for the operation and development of their networks and integrate innovative solutions in the
277 distribution systems, including energy efficiency, flexibility and the development of smart grids and
278 intelligent metering systems
279 Chapter IV of the Regulation sets out new general principles for addressing resource adequacy concerns by
280 Member States in a coordinated manner. It sets out principles and a procedure for the development of a European
281 resource adequacy assessment to better determine the need for capacity mechanisms and, if appropriate, the
282 setting of a reliability standard by Member States. It clarifies how and under which conditions capacity mechanisms
283 can be introduced in a market compatible manner. It also clarifies market compatible design principles for capacity
284 mechanisms, including rules for the participation of capacity located in another Member State and for
285 interconnection usage. It sets out how Regional Operational Centres, national TSOs, the ENTSO for electricity and
286 national regulators via ACER will be involved in the development of technical parameters for the participation of
287 capacities located in another Member State as well as the operational rules for their participation.
288 Chapter V of the Regulation sets out the tasks and duties of the ENTSO-E and the monitoring tasks of ACER in this
289 regard whilst clarifying its duty to act independently and for the European good. It defines the mission of Regional
290 Operational Centres and provides for criteria and a procedure for defining system operation regions covered by each
291 Regional Operational Centre and the coordination functions that these centres perform. It also sets out working and
292 organisational arrangements, consultation requirements, requirements and procedures for the adoption of decisions
293 and recommendations and their revision, the composition and responsibilities of the management board and liability
294 arrangements of Regional Operational Centres. The rules on a ten-year network development plan, inter-
295 transmission system operator compensation, information exchange and certification remain largely unchanged.
296 Chapter VI of the Regulation sets up a European entity for DSOs, defines a procedure for its establishment and its
297 tasks including with regard to the consultation of stakeholders. It also provides detailed rules on the cooperation
298 between DSOs and TSOs with regard to the planning and operation of their networks.
299 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
300 Establishment, tasks and consultations of the new EU DSO entity for electricity (new Articles 52-55), which
301 is not directly relevant for establishing and operating smart grids, but may coordinate, align and solve
302 resulting issues on a high-level European scale
303 New provisions on the cooperation between DSOs and TSOs (new Article 57) in planning and operating
304 their networks, incl. exchange of all necessary information and data and coordinated access to resources
305 such as distributed generation, energy storage or demand response that may support particular needs of
306 both the distribution system and the transmission system
307 Chapter VII of the Regulation sets out pre-existing powers and rules for the Commission to adopt delegated acts in
308 the form of network codes or guidelines. It provides for clarifications as to the legal nature and the adoption of
309 network codes and guidelines and enlarges their possible content to areas such as
316 It simplifies and streamlines the procedure for the elaboration of electricity network codes and gives national
317 regulators the possibility to decide within ACER on issues concerning the implementation of network codes and
318 guidelines. It also includes the European entity for DSOs and other stakeholders more closely in the procedure of
319 the development of proposals for electricity network codes, incl. the following new subject areas of network codes:
321 Provision of non-frequency ancillary services, including steady state voltage control, inertia, fast reactive
322 current injection, black-start capability and islanding operation;
323 Demand response, including aggregation, energy storage, and demand curtailment rules
324 Network and reliability rules with cyber security provisions in scope
325 If the subject matter of the network code is directly related to the operation of the distribution system and less
326 relevant for the transmission system, the Commission may require the EU DSO entity for electricity instead of the
327 ENTSO for Electricity to convene a drafting committee and submit a proposal for a network code to the agency.
328 Chapter VIII of the Regulation sets out the final provisions of the Regulation. It includes the pre-existing rules for the
329 exemption of new direct current interconnectors from certain requirement of the Electricity Market Directive and
330 Regulation whilst clarifying the procedure for subsequent amendments made by NRAs thereof. The Annex to the
331 Regulation defines in more detail the functions attributed to the Regional Operational Centers created by the
332 Regulation
334 Chapter I of the Directive provides some clarifications to the scope and subject matter of the Directive, emphasising
335 the focus on consumers and the importance of the internal market and its main principles. It provides also an update
336 of the main definitions used in the Directive, including e.g. active customer, Citizen Energy Community (CEC) and
337 balancing responsible party.
338 Chapter II of the Directive lays down the general principle that Member States have to ensure that the EU electricity
339 market is competitive, consumer-centred, flexible and non-discriminatory. It emphasises that national measures
340 should not unduly hamper cross border flows, consumer participation or investments. It further enshrines the
341 principle that supply prices shall be market-based, subject to duly justified exceptions. The chapter also clarifies
342 certain principles relating to the functioning of the EU electricity markets, such as the right to choose a supplier. It
343 also provides for updated rules on possible public service obligations which may be imposed by Member States on
344 energy undertakings under certain circumstances.
345 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
346 New provisions on the competitive, consumer-centred, flexible and non-discriminatory electricity market
347 (new Article 3), including cross-border trade of electricity, consumer participation including through demand–
348 side response, investments into in particular variable and flexible energy generation, energy storage, the
349 deployment of electro-mobility or new interconnectors between Member States, and that electricity prices
350 reflect actual demand and supply
351 New provisions on market based supply prices (new Article 5), where suppliers shall be free to determine
352 the price at which they supply electricity to customers under effective competition between electricity
353 suppliers. Protection of energy poor or vulnerable customers shall be ensured
354 Chapter III of the Directive reinforces pre-existing consumer rights and introduces new rights that aim at putting
355 consumers at the heart of the energy markets by ensuring that they are empowered and better protected. It sets
356 rules on clearer billing information and on certified comparison tools. It contains provisions ensuring that consumers
357 are able to freely choose and change suppliers or aggregators, are entitled to a dynamic price contract and are able
358 to engage in demand response, self-generation and self-consumption of electricity. It entitles every consumer to
359 request a smart meter equipped with a minimum set of functionalities. It also improves pre-existing rules on the
360 consumers' possibility to share their data with suppliers and service providers by clarifying the role of the parties
361 responsible for data management and by setting a common European data format to be developed by the
362 Commission in an implementing act. It also aims to ensure that energy poverty is addressed by Member States. It
363 further requires Member States to define frameworks for independent aggregators and for demand response along
364 principles that enable their full participation in the market. It defines a framework for local energy communities which
365 may engage in local energy generation, distribution, aggregation, storage, supply or energy efficiency services. It
366 further provides some clarifications to pre-existing provisions on smart meters, single points of contacts, and rights to
367 out-of-court settlement, universal service and vulnerable consumers.
368 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
369 New provisions on dynamic price contracts (new Article 11) where final customers who have a smart meter
370 installed can request to conclude a dynamic electricity price contract from at least one supplier and from
371 every supplier that has more than 200,000 final customers, and is informed about opportunities, costs and
372 risks

419 Chapter IV of the Directive provides for some clarifications concerning the tasks of DSOs, notably relating to the
420 activities of DSOs concerning the procurement of network services to ensure flexibility, the integration of electrical
421 vehicles and data management. It also clarifies the role of DSOs with respect to storage and recharging points for
422 electric vehicles.
423 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
424 New tasks of the DSO in the use of flexibility (new Article 32), where DSOs are incentivised to procure
425 flexibility services, including congestion management in their service area. They shall define standardised
426 market products for such services procured at least at national level ensuring effective participation of all
427 market participants including renewable energy sources, demand response, and aggregators, incl.
428 exchange of information and coordination. Furthermore, development of a distribution system shall be based
429 on a transparent network development plan that DSOs shall submit every two years to the regulatory
430 authority, containing the planned investments for the next five to ten years, with particular emphasis on the
431 main distribution infrastructure which is required in order to connect new generation capacity and new loads
432 including re-charging points for electric vehicles. The network development plan shall also demonstrate the
433 use of demand response, energy efficiency, energy storage facilities or other resources that a DSO is using
434 as an alternative to system expansion. A de-minimis rule of 100,000 connected customers may apply on
435 national level.
436 New provisions on the integration of e-mobility (new Article 33) ensure that distribution system operators
437 cooperate on a non-discriminatory basis with any undertaking that owns, develops, operates or manages
438 recharging points for electric vehicles, including with regard to connection to the grid. Under specific
439 conditions, a DSO may own, develop, manage or operate recharging points for electric vehicles, but this
440 shall not be the case by default
441 New tasks of the DSO in data management (new Article 34), where the DSO is involved in smart metering
442 and shall provide access of data to eligible parties
443 New provisions on the ownership of energy storage facilities (new Article 36), where under specific
444 condition, the DSO may be allowed to own, develop, manage or operate storage facilities, but this shall not
445 be the case by default
446 Chapter V of the Directive summarises the general rules applicable to TSOs, largely based on existing text,
447 providing clarifications concerning ancillary services and the new Regional Operational Centres.
448 Relevant amendments for smart grids in this chapter include the following, but not limited to:
449 Additional responsibilities of a TSO (Art. 40) related to digitalisation of transmission systems incl. data
450 management, cyber security and data protection
451 New provisions on the ownership of energy storage facilities (new Article 54), where under specific
452 condition, the TSO may be allowed to own, develop, manage or operate storage facilities, but this shall not
453 be the case by default
454 Chapter VI of the Directive, setting out the rules on unbundling as developed in the Third Energy Package, remains
455 unchanged as concerns the main substantive rules on unbundling, notably with respect to the three regimes for
456 TSOs (ownership unbundling, independent system operator and independent transmission operator), as well as with
457 respect to the provisions on TSO designation and certification. It only provides a clarification on the possibility for
458 TSOs to own storage or to provide ancillary services.
459 Chapter VII of the Directive contains the rules on establishment, scope of powers and duties as well as rules of
460 functioning of the independent national energy regulators. The proposal notably emphasises the obligation of
461 regulators to cooperate with neighbouring regulators and ACER in case issues of cross-border relevance are
462 concerned and updates the list of tasks of regulators, inter alia with respect to the supervision of the newly created
463 Regional Operational Centres.
464 Chapter VIII of the Directive changes some general provisions, inter alia on derogations to the Directive, exercise of
465 delegated powers by the Commission and the Committee established under comitology rules pursuant to Regulation
466 (EU) No 182/2011.
467 The new Annexes to the Directive set out more requirements on comparison tools, billing and billing information
468 and amends pre-existing requirements for smart meters and their roll-out.
470 The main provisions in the revised Renewable Energy Directive with potential relevance to smart grids which
471 substantially change Directive 2009/28/EC are as follows:
473 o The renewable self-consumer who consumes and may store and sell renewable electricity which is
474 generated within his or its premises. Renewable self-consumers are also allowed to act jointly if
475 located in the same building or multi-apartment block
476 o The renewable energy community (REC) which might produce, consume, store and sell renewable
477 energy, including through renewables power purchase agreements and aggregation. A REC shall
478 be a SME (Small or Medium-sized Enterprise) or a non-profit organisation, the shareholders or
479 members of which cooperate in the generation, distribution, storage or supply of energy from
480 renewable sources, according to the criteria provided in Article 22
481 Article 15 includes a new calculation methodology (anchored in the Energy Performance of Buildings
482 Directive) of minimum levels of energy from RES in new and existing buildings that are subject to
483 renovation, ensuring that investors have sufficient predictability of the planned support for RES.
484 Article 16 establishes a permit granting process for renewable energy projects with one designated authority
485 ("one-stop-shop") and a maximum time limit for the permit granting process. It shall coordinate the entire
486 permit granting process for applicants for permits to build and operate plants and associated network
487 connection for the production of energy from RES. It also contains a specific provision on accelerating
488 permit granting process for repowering existing renewable plants.
489 Article 17 introduces a simple notification to DSOs for small scale projects (capacity of 10,8 kW or less).
490 Article 19 includes some modifications to the guarantees of origin (GO) system to make the use of GOs
491 mandatory for electricity RES and to improve the administrative procedures through the application of EN
492 16325.
493 Article 21 empower renewable self-consumers (individually or through aggregators), without losing their
494 rights as final customers, to
495 o Generate renewable energy, including for their own consumption, store and sell their excess
496 production of renewable electricity
497 o Install and operate electricity storage systems combined with installations generating renewable
498 electricity for self- consumption without liability for any double charge
500 Article 22 introduces new provisions on renewable energy communities (REC) to empower them to
501 participate in the market, which are entitled to produce, consume, store and sell renewable energy, including
502 through renewables power purchase agreements and aggregation, without being subject to disproportionate
503 procedures and charges that are not cost-reflective.
505 The previous European Union legal framework was constructed around an energy efficiency target of 20% for 2020.
506 This now needs to be reset with a 2030 perspective, where this proposal sets a 32,5% minimum binding energy
507 efficiency target for 2030 at EU level. This will give Member States and investors a long-term perspective to plan
508 their policies and investments and to adapt their strategies towards energy efficiency.
509 The main provisions in the revised energy efficiency Directive with relevance to smart grids changing Directive
510 2012/27/EU are as follows:
511 Article 4, which previously required Member States to establish long-term strategies for mobilising
512 investment in the renovation of their national building stock, was removed from this Directive and added to
513 the Directive on the energy performance of buildings where it fits better due to the smart financing for
514 buildings initiative, long term plans for nearly zero energy buildings and the goal of decarbonisation of
515 buildings.
516 New Articles 7a and 7b extend the obligation period beyond 2020 to 2030 and to make it clear that Member
517 States can achieve the required energy savings through an energy efficiency obligation scheme, alternative
518 measures, or a combination of both approaches. Member States will be able to take into account to some
519 extent the installation of new renewable energy technologies on or in buildings. Annex V is also amended to
520 simplify how energy savings must be calculated and to clarify which savings are eligible for the purposes of
521 Article 7. This is in particular relevant as regards energy savings stemming from measures targeting the
522 renovation of buildings which can now be claimed in full.
524 The aim of the replaced Directive 2010/31/EU (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive – EPBD) was to promote
525 the improvement of the energy performance of buildings in the EU by
526 Integrating long term building renovation strategies (Article of 4 Energy Efficiency Directive), supporting the
527 mobilisation of financing
528 Encouraging the use of ICT and smart technologies to ensure buildings operate efficiently
529 Encouraging the roll-out of the required infrastructure for e-mobility with a focus on large commercial
530 buildings
531 Streamlining provisions where they have not delivered the expected results
532 The revision of the EPBD will also strengthen the links between public funding for building renovation and energy
533 performance certificates (EPC) and will incentivise tackling energy poverty through building renovation.
534 The EPBD has already been the main driving force behind significant improvements in the energy used in EU
535 buildings, with stricter minimum energy performance requirements (based on ‘cost optimality’) in all Member States
536 and a major updating of national building codes with a view to ensuring ‘nearly zero energy’ buildings.
537 The main provisions in the revised EPBD with relevance to smart grids changing Directive 2010/31/EU are as
538 follows:
539 The definition of technical building systems under Article 2 is extended to on-site electricity generation
540 The current Article 4 of the EED on building long-term renovation strategy (new Article 2a) is moved to this
541 Directive for greater consistency, and will include additionally the consideration of energy poverty issues,
542 support for smart financing of building renovations and a vision for the decarbonisation of buildings by 2050
543 Article 8 is updated to take into account the revised definition of technical building systems. A new
544 paragraph introduces infrastructure requirements for e-mobility, where new residential and non-residential
545 buildings with more than ten parking spaces shall be equipped with charging infrastructure. Furthermore, the
546 so-called smart readiness of buildings shall be measured by establishing the definition of a smart readiness
547 indicator; and a methodology by which it is to be calculated.

551 The WG-CEP acts as a working group under the Coordination Group of Smart Energy Grids (CG-SEG) and is open
552 to interested stakeholders who are invited based on their expertise.
553 The objective of the WG-CEP is to ensure that CEN-CENELEC-ETSI will support the deployment of the outcome of
554 the Clean Energy Package by providing the adequate set of standards.
555 The WG-CEP will advise the CG-SEG on the best way to reach the above objective, one of the outcomes being to
556 feed the “Set of Standards” standardisation work programme [4].
557 Additionally, the WG-CEP will receive input from and provide input on behalf of the CG-SEG to the European
558 Commission’s SGTF and associated Expert Groups (EG). Today’s Expert Groups incl. scope and objectives based
559 on their Terms of Reference are:
561 The main objective of this Working Group is to continue the preliminary work undertaken under EG1 towards a
562 common (electricity and gas) data framework and the converging of procedures at European level. This is to be
563 done bearing in mind that consumers, and other parties on their behalf, should have easy access to their energy
564 data.
565 The aim is to ultimately achieve consensus among key stakeholders on best practices and propose what should be
566 the scope and coverage of further and more specific secondary EU legislation (i.e. implementing act(s)) to set up
567 such common arrangements ensuring interoperability.
569 map existing national practices, as well as existing European and international standards and role models
570 and initiatives, on data access and data management (including conditions for the use and re-use of data) in
571 EU Member States in the field of electricity and gas market;
572 identify current and anticipated obstacles (at national and/or EU level) for data access and data
573 management, with due regards to the impact of a more harmonised framework, bearing in mind potential
574 future developments in technology and markets;
575 work towards framing a common framework for electricity and gas data handling, access and interchange.
576 The Working Group will investigate the extent to which consolidating the respective national arrangements into a
577 common framework at EU level can help break silos and bring together currently diverging practices in Member
578 States, facilitate interoperability and the uptake of new services, increase the internal market competition, and
579 contribute to keeping administrative costs under control.
580 The final report of the EG1 ‘Towards Interoperability within the EU for Electricity and Gas Data Access & Exchange’
581 has been issued in March 2019 as referenced in [4].
583 This working group stems from the Commission Communication "Clean Energy for All Europeans" announcing the
584 set-up of such a group in spring 2017 and the delivery of final results by end 2018.This Communication emphasises
585 that ensuring resilience of the energy supply systems against cyber risk and threats becomes increasingly important
586 as wide-spread use of information and communications technology and data traffic is becoming the foundation for
587 the functioning of infrastructures underlying the energy systems. Thus, as a direct action, the European Commission
588 will establish in 2017 "stakeholder working groups under the Smart Grids Task Force to prepare the ground for
589 network codes on demand response, energy-specific cybersecurity and common consumer's data format. The
590 Commission will report on the structure, scope and planning of the groups in spring 2017 and final results by the end
591 of 2018." This working group is dedicated to energy-specific cybersecurity.
592 The final report of the EG2 ‘Recommendations to the European Commission for the Implementation of Sector-
593 Specific Rules for Cybersecurity Aspects of Cross-Border Electricity Flows, on Common Minimum Requirements,
594 Planning, Monitoring, Reporting and Crisis Management’ has been issued in June 2019 as referenced in [5].
596 The objective of the working group is to continue the work on the deployment of demand response at European level
597 by identifying success stories and best regulatory practices across Europe. In this context, the group will also identify
598 and analyse other issues linked to the wider concept of demand side flexibility. The aim should be the identification
599 of remaining gaps that have to be addressed at EU level and propose what should be the scope of further and more
600 specific EU action (i.e. network code) and which should be the areas that such EU actions will have to cover.
601 Relevant outputs of the group, such as use cases, will be disseminated to the European Standardisation
602 Organisations (ESOs), so that standardisation gaps can be identified and addressed.
603 The group will build on previous work of the Smart Grids Task Force, as well as on existing studies and market
604 models for demand response in EU and worldwide. The existing and envisaged EU legislation - including network
605 codes - shall be the main framework of the work.
606 The final report of the EG3 ‘Demand Side Flexibility - Perceived barriers and proposed recommendation’ has been
607 issued in April 2019 as referenced in [6].
608 WG-CEP will furthermore act as focal point of reference for any issues related to the abovementioned topics in order
609 to align specific enquiries within the CG-SEG.
611 Assess and clarify relevant standardisation requirements resulting from the Clean Energy Package
612 Support the creation of use cases and draft related standardisation gaps
613 Provide input to WG-STD and other WGs where appropriate in order to support the further processing of
614 standardisation gaps and the programme of work
615 Liaise with the SGTF new setup of Expert Groups for 2017-2018 in order to coordinate input from the CG-
616 SEG on data formats, cybersecurity and demand response (according to the ToR from these groups)
617 Advise CG-SEG on potential internal organisational changes which could help better addressing the
618 proposed standardisation needs.
619 Provide a suitable platform for discussion of all related issues within the CG-SEG
620 As decided and approved by the CG-SEG in July 2019, additional tasks from 2019 onwards are to:
621 Coordinate input from the CG-SEG to the SGTF and vice versa, in particular via the SGTF EG
622 representatives. This will depend on the SGTF decision on the follow-up organization beyond 2018 and also
623 concerns CEP-related secondary legislation (e.g. new EU Network Codes)
624 Update the 2018 final report after all negotiations are finalized in 2019, and provide further updates following
625 to CEP-related secondary legislation based on requests from the CG-SEG
626 Act as a point of reference to the European Commission for supporting future CEP-related secondary
627 legislation, e.g. EU Network Codes etc.
628
630 Based on the legislation in scope of the Clean Energy Package for standardisation, the WG-CEP has identified the
631 following legislation as those with highest possible impact on standardisation.
632 Key triggers for this identification were the technical requirements that could be derived from the M/490
633 standardisation framework [3] and related systems, such as microgrids (referring to so-called Energy Communities
634 (both CEC and REC) in the Clean Energy Package), smart metering, information exchange, demand response, etc.
635 But also new standardisation requirements e.g. resulting from new future EU Network Codes as stated in the
636 Electricity Market Regulation were at scope.
639 For each of the abovementioned legislation, WG-CEP has performed together with CG-SEG a more detailed
640 assessment of priority topics for standardisation, including answering the relevant questions:
641 How may it affect the industry and then potentially standardisation?
647 The detailed assessments can be found in annexes A – C and provide the basis for further processing within the
648 WG-STD workstream, incl. gap analysis and ranking to be performed by stakeholder survey, followed by inclusion
649 into the standardisation work programme.
650
652 A.1 Energy Efficiency - New binding energy savings target at EU level by 2030
654 Priority topic: Energy Efficiency – 32,5% binding energy savings target at EU level by 2030
How may it affect the The broad “energy efficiency” can be considered as general or umbrella topic. Even if the grid is
industry and then not considered as main scope of this item, it has potential effects on grid efficiencies and should
potentially involve active customer participation, storage, data management, etc. This means that all
standardisation? standardisation might be affected that relates to these actors and topics.
Where energy savings performance is affected, this aspect is beyond standardisation and relates
to functionalities.
Draft standardisation CIM covers the possibility to evaluate the losses of the grid equipment by having a proper
assessment information model expressing the losses related to the grid, aggregating information and
reporting on performance indicators which is restricted to the grid.
Presence in the CG- CIM evolvement is already covered by different gaps and respectively covered in the work plan,
SEG work plan especially connected to harmonisation with IEC 61850
Further analysis Yes - information model (CIM) expressing the losses related to the grid, aggregating information
required? and reporting on (grid) performance indicators should be checked. Further analysis on the
methodology and standards methods to evaluate the losses where required.
Action - Forward to CLC/TC 57 for checking information model expressing the losses related to the grid,
aggregating information and reporting on (grid) performance indicators
- Forward to CLC/TC 8 with the support of TC 85 for the methodology and standards methods to
evaluate the losses where required
- Promote role of standardisation in supporting the reporting
655
656
657
How may it affect the New Smart Readiness Indicators (SRI) could support the contribution of buildings to making power
industry and then systems more flexible and so to raise energy performance of buildings, e.g. by providing the ability
potentially of the building for demand response or peak load shifting which is mostly relevant in the design
standardisation? phase. It would therefore give a measure of a building’s ability to connect and cooperate with the
surrounding smart grid / energy ecosystem and might comprise domestic systems such as smart
metering systems, building automation and control systems, heating appliances, smart recharging
points for electric vehicles and energy storage based on functionalities, rather than specific
technologies. Smartness indicators might also influence Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and
financing of buildings in a positive way. The definition of such indicators shall be supported by
standards, where e.g. measurement and calculations might be in scope of different TCs.
Draft standardisation From current point of view, relevant stakeholders and EC shall define the indicators e.g. based on
assessment the results of the study https://smartreadinessindicator.eu. When there is more clarity standards
work can be supported. Standardisation can be involved from different aspects:
- Impact of relevant identified technical domains such as
- Heating and cooling incl. domestic hot water
- HVAC systems
- Lighting
- Dynamic building functions, e.g. window and shutter control
- Domestic DER management
- Demand side management incl. local systems and storage
- EV smart charging
- Metering and monitoring
- Functionalities of technical building systems according to EPBD and required interoperability to
energy ecosystems
- General building requirements and system boundaries
- Low-voltage electrical installations focusing on electrical energy efficiency and integration of
renewables, e.g. PV
- User information including data protection and access by the user to relevant data
- Promote the generation and consumption of ‘green energy’ by providing adequate data models
- Ability to manage energy systems in order to monitor in near real time their environmental
footprint (CO2 emissions)

How may it affect the The Ecodesign Working Plan contributes to the Commission's new initiative on the Circular
industry and then Economy, which series of measures covering the whole lifecycle of products and materials. Within
potentially the scope of CG-SEG, it might impact new products such as
standardisation? - Displays for profiling information to users (larger than 1 dm²)
- Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS)
- Solar panels and inverters
- Gateways as part of home network equipment
Draft standardisation Standardisation should potentially include specific requirements for above mentioned products

How may it affect the Achieving a high ratio of 32% binding renewable energy source share at EU level by 2030 will lead
industry and then to increasing RES solutions into the IT systems of market actors. The ratio change does not have
potentially real impact on standardisation, but potentially changes the way of operating the grid, e.g. in terms
standardisation? of managing voltage.
This might have substantial impact on the IT part of the EU Network Codes. The IT part should also
be considered from an information model perspective to integrate these types of DERs as part of all
the DERs that should be managed. Currently nothing has been engaged on this issue. This should be
taken into consideration to avoid having troubles to integrate new solutions into the IT systems of
utilities.
Draft standardisation CIM is embracing DER management, and all types of DER shall be supported by CIM and IEC 61850.

Control Interface for Infrastructure Equipment (Power, Cooling and Building Environment Systems
used in Telecommunication Networks)
Presence in the CG- Partly - DER management has been already considered by gap analysis but more effort to be done
SEG work plan on the IT part of the EU Network Codes
Further analysis Yes – Standardisation should consider the different types of DER implemented in EU to address
required? capacity market constraints and to provide adequate data models and services, e.g. to register a
new DER including storage, grouping of DER
Action Forward to TC 13 and TC 57 to consider different types of DER and to provide adequate data
models and services, e.g. to register a new DER including storage and integration in smart energy

674 Priority topic: Phase-out of priority dispatch for RES (removal of Art. 16 of current Directive)
How may it affect the The phase-out of priority dispatch for RES would primarily mean that all renewable generation
industry and then shall be marketed within the single market for electricity with potential impact on market places,
potentially including wholesale and retail market. This will impact the standardisation for retail and bulk
standardisation? market information exchange.
Draft standardisation Standardisation is affected for wholesale and retail market information exchange, e.g. more

675
676
680 Priority topic: Interoperability requirements and procedures for access to data (Art. 23/24 – also refers to Art. 19)
How may it affect the Having an open, standardised, easy and secure access to any information (meter data, market data,
industry and then grid data) which is necessary and useful for any eligible party (including consumers, flexibility
potentially providers, ESCOs, grid operators etc.) is an important pre-requisite for distributed resources to
standardisation? actively participate in the market. This will also include cross-border data exchange, cross sector
data exchange and role of data exchange platforms (data hubs).
Interoperability of different systems, data formats and platform is concerned rather than
Standardisation of data formats and processes. It requires the identification and description of use
cases, roles, ontologies, data models and reference architectures.
Latest amendments by the Parliament leave it open to Member States to either use a European
Data Format or use “Interoperability Standards”.
Draft standardisation It refers to the previous ‘My energy data’ initiative according to which Member States might
assessment benefit from a common standard (data format) for access of consumption data by consumers and
parties designated by consumers (art 24). Some data formats already exist in some Member States
and should be taken well into consideration.
EG1 of the SGTF now takes care of energy data interoperability where it is important to have a
strong link between EG1 and CEN-CENELEC-ETSI. Despite of any format, standardisation should
ensure that the appropriate use cases will be taken into account (EG1 provided 2 basic use cases
already; Horizon2020 projects like Flexiciency, EU SysFlex and TDX Assist are developing further use
cases).

Presence in the CG- Committee Draft (CD) Edition 1 of 62325-451-10 (My Energy Data – Download My Data Use case)
SEG work plan was circulated in summer 2018 and comments received from National Committee. An Edition 2 of
the CD will be circulated by end of 2018 before having a CDV in 2019.
Flexiciency provided a proposal to manage My Energy Data. This was discussed in TC57 WG16 and a
new proposal was made by WG16 experts using Time Series (profile EUMED-MARKET).
In addition, consent management procedures will be needed and shall be assessed with use cases
of customer consent and revocation that have been proposed using IEC 62559-2 and 62913-1 ‘use
case methodology’.
Action General:
- Follow-up with EG1 developments and promote the current standardisation work to make sure
that all relevant developments and use cases are well aligned with EG1
- Follow-up and coordinate with Horizon2020 projects (Flexiciency, EU SysFlex, TDX Assist) to
identify missing standards based on identified system use cases (gap analysis)
- Alignment with ETSI on SAREF with support from the EC
- Assess conformity with the EC Communication "BUILDING A EUROPEAN DATA ECONOMY" from
10.01.2017
- Set up a separate meeting with all internal stakeholders CEN-CENELEC-ETSI
- The CEN/CENELEC/ETSI coordination groups should explain the SGAM interoperability layers
again and stress the importance of using formal standard data models and the value of relying on
European core standards, at least for the access of consumption data by consumers and parties
designated by consumers.

Ref: CEP-EMD-2 WG-CEP Assessment
How may it affect the This legal proposition has a clear focus on smart metering infrastructure, especially on the H1/H2
industry and then interfaces connecting the smart meter gateway in-home with the meter(s) and the customer
potentially energy management (CEM) gateway. Near-real-time consumption data can be accessible from local
standardisation? devices (e.g. the certified smart meter) but also from smart metering systems (e.g. the smart
metering head-end systems and data hubs) and is currently defined by seconds (max 10 s according

It also refers to the same interface as article 19 (connection to CEM) and article 21 to deliver the
desired connectivity of the metering infrastructure with consumer energy management systems in
near-real time, so standardisation should be treated in combination.
Draft standardisation A gap was identified in the CG-SEG and CG-SM, alignment between the standards of TC57, TC13,
assessment TC294 and TC205 is already complete and corresponding standards are available.
NOTE: - The MID currently only covers consumption, not generation. Electricity meters are
assumed to be accurate in both directions but the MID has no requirements for export accuracy.

695 Priority topic: Interoperability with Consumer Energy Management systems (Art. 19, 21)
How may it affect the When considering interoperability, different layers should be taken into account, e.g. connection
industry and then to grids, household and market. This will include the technical design of the CEM, e.g. what are
potentially the interfaces to the household devices, to DSOs, TSOs and data exchange platforms.
standardisation?
Interoperability with consumer energy management systems also relates to mapping of data
definitions for the H2 interface, where Member States might make different choices depending
on their own situation (e.g. wired or wireless connection).
Within the area of standardisation, CEM are commonly referred to Customer Energy
Management systems, covering e.g. domestic small-scale generators and prosumers as well.
Draft standardisation CLC/TC 205 in combination with IEC/TC 57 WG21 are already looking into the modular
assessment architecture for CEM and how to connect the different home automation interfaces.

This will need to include the retail market and all types of ancillary services provided over
coordinated flexibility platforms, identifying standard flexibility products and coordination rules.
SGTF EG3 is currently identifying use cases and best regulatory practices across Europe for checking
gaps that have to be addressed at EU level and propose what should be the scope of further and
more specific EU action (i.e. network code) and relevant areas. The work covers also the access and
use of flexibility for all market actors as well as framework arrangements between consumer,
aggregator and supplier/BRPs, involving system operators on measurement and validation and
balancing responsibility.

New standardisation requirements might derive from the new situation that single entities are
involved in distributed generation and in performing activities of a distribution system operator,
supplier or aggregator at local level, including controlling, pooling and aggregating of local
generation, storage and e-mobility, heating and local energy management systems.
Integration of active customers (Article 15) especially in terms of P2P aggregation and demand
response and opting in/out of members and customers is also at stake and require new ways of
managing automated processes (referring to ‘My energy data’ as well).
EU Network codes (also future DSO level) are involved when energy communities act as one large
customer towards the network.

How may it affect the Grid operators need to be neutral, i.e. independent from market actors and not involved in
industry and then commercial activities in order to effectively fulfil its regulated tasks and ensure equal treatment of
potentially stakeholders. In case of some unbundling models (ISO, ITO) very clear rules are needed in order to
standardisation? demonstrate in a transparent way the neutrality. Regulation foresees compliance programme and
independent compliance officer as necessary measures.
Furthermore, transparency is at stake which implies for instance for DSOs to publish more data as
TSOs do through transparency platforms (i.e. outages, DER forecasts, TYNDP or FYNDP for DSOs).
Draft standardisation It presumably relates more to harmonised processes (good practices) involving relevant
assessment information exchange between DSO – Compliance Officer – Regulator, etc. rather than (technical)
European standards
Further analysis Yes - especially assessment of the different services provided by the TSO, DSO across EU

Action Identify good standard practices ensuring neutrality and transparency for grid operators and
identify whether and which harmonised processes on European level would be needed for this.

728 Priority topic: Management of storage and integration into the grid (similar to DER)
How may it affect the Storage plays a central role in the provision of flexibility and in the operation of future energy
industry and then systems incl. Local Energy Communities, and is therefore a major issue for the EC. In addition, the
potentially CEP may allow transmission and distribution system operators to own, develop, manage or
standardisation? operate storage facilities under specific conditions.
Work started already at IEC (physical part), but still in discussion how to integrate such features
into the grid and to manage it properly. Different use cases may also apply by TSOs and DSOs.
Draft standardisation Storage have already been considered by IEC, but support by CIM need to be checked. TC 57 is
assessment working on a data model in IEC 61850-7-420 as DER with storage specific properties, but it is also
important to identify the related use cases for specific application.

Specific arrangements of the different control centers between utilities might be necessary, relying
on CIM and control center to control center communication. Grid users need easy solutions for
providing data – both technically and organizationally and in the other way to access to their
consumption and energy profile included near-real time CO2 emissions (i.e. entsoe.eu data).

- GLDPM (Generation and Load Data Provision Methodology) [14] and
- CSAM (Coordinating Operational Security Analysis Methodology) [15]

738 Priority topic: New areas of network codes which might also directly apply on DSO level (Art. 59)
How may it affect the Network codes can be considered as a set of obligations related to the connection to the
industry and then transmission and/or distribution grid incl. significant grid users. It can be of any type:
potentially electrotechnical functions, observability and controllability functions or cybersecurity
standardisation? requirements. The CEP extends the currently available EU network codes by
- curtailment of generation and redispatch of generation and demand
- rules for non-discriminatory, transparent provision of non-frequency ancillary services,
including steady state voltage control, inertia, fast reactive current injection, black-start
capability and islanding
- demand response, including aggregation, energy storage, and demand curtailment rules
- rules concerning regional operational centres
which might be also directly applicable on DSO level. Thus, these codes have a huge impact on
mass-market and a huge number of potential stakeholders, so further work is expected to be
anticipated through a mandate to support not only the writing but also the deployment of the
codes.
Potential similar issues may arise as with the current network codes, i.e.
- needed but not available on time
- having appropriate definitions and test methods within the standards
- Electrical aspects with demonstration of compliance to the code
- “IT part” with communication between market participants
- Check with governance
Regarding the new requirements related to demand side flexibility, SGTF EG3 is currently working
on formulating concrete recommendation to the European Commission for future work on
demand side flexibility, including priorities for a network code.
Draft standardisation Standards will be required to demonstrate compliance to new areas of network codes also on
