Abstract

We present a stylized microeconomic model to analyze solar panels and storage investment decisions of a representative consumer under either grid (credit regulation) or individual (price regulation) storage. We identify the conditions under which prosumers become storers. We show that solar technology must be more competitive under credit than price regulation for consumers to invest in storage. We calibrate our model using French data from 2023 and 2030 and consider batteries and fuel-cells as potential individual storage technologies. France’s current price regulation incentivizes investment in solar capacity, but not in storage. Conversely, credit regulation would immediately encourage energy storage. Looking ahead to 2030, both regulatory frameworks would incentivize energy storage. The distribution system operator prefers credit regulation, provided the regulator allows full energy recovery. Overall, energy storage enhances welfare under both regulatory frameworks.

消费者：电网与个人存储

我们提出了一个风格化的微观经济模型，以分析代表性消费者在电网（信贷监管）或个人（价格监管）储能条件下的太阳能电池板和储能投资决策。我们确定了消费者成为储能者的条件。我们表明，太阳能技术在信贷监管下必须比价格监管下更具竞争力，消费者才会投资储能。我们使用法国 2023 年和 2030 年的数据对模型进行了校准，并将电池和燃料电池视为潜在的个人储能技术。法国目前的价格监管激励了太阳能发电能力的投资，但没有激励储能技术的投资。相反，信贷监管将立即鼓励储能。展望 2030 年，两种监管框架都将鼓励储能。配电系统运营商更倾向于信贷监管，前提是监管机构允许完全回收能源。总体而言，在两种监管框架下，储能都能提高福利。

期刊介绍： Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
