Deploying collective PV selfconsumption in France : System design, barriers, and policy recommendations
A collective self-consumption project defines a community made of different electricity consumers that gather around a decentralized distributed energy generation system in order to supply part of their electric demands through self-consumption of the decentralized electricity produced. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is the most used decentralized energy generation system. Thanks to the falling price of renewable energy technologies due to the development of research, and political regulations towards the sustainable development goals, new ways of producing energy have emerged and collective self-consumption projects are part of them. France stands as one of the few Europeans countries having specific regulatory framework for such projects. However, strong barriers prevent from their deployment. These are mainly: a low retail electricity price, high taxes and network tariffs, and a regulation with heavy administrative processes. Besides, the majority of the studies made on collective self-consumption projects are mostly on blockchain technology for the local energy market created by them. The few techno-economic analyses on collective self-consumption are essentially commercial and not research oriented. Therefore, the aim of this study is first, to analyze typical system designs for a collective self-consumption project and set an example of a reference PV system for such project. The objective is also to find most critical barriers for a collective selfconsumption project through an analysis of their impact on the project’s economics. Finally, the aim is to investigate possible policies that could be set by the French Government, regarding its budget, in order to develop PV collective self-consumption projects in the future. A community made of diverse electricity consumers and located in Montpellier, was defined for the purpose of this study. Each consumer’s annual electric load was directly collected from the national open data platform and the sum constituted an input for the system design and modeling ...
