An Orchestra of Utilities

An Orchestra of Utilities
4 - 6 November
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Welcome to
The world is changing faster
than you think
The utility industry remains a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. While it will continue
to serve a critical function for the world at large, it is undergoing a transformation which
is likely to dramatically alter the business practices and models of the past.
The current market dynamics and new technologies force utilities to evaluate new
business models and organizational alignment alternatives to position themselves for
long-term success. Value chains and revenue streams of the future will be increasingly
based on interconnection and mediation. New energy technologies such as distributed
generation, energy management and storage solutions drive the creation of new products
and services. Further, with the convergence of technology and data, utilities are able to
finely gauge performance and value. This, in turn, enables continuous improvement in
the customer experience, as well as reductions in the cost of service and leaner business
processes.
We have been discussing this for quite some time, but the industry still seems to be in a
waiting position to embrace the many opportunities associated with this change. There
are many small success stories where interconnection, data driven decisions or a broad
realignment of the utility value chain have helped individual players to end downturn,
increase revenues or attract new, engaged customers. However, what still needs to be
written is the one big success story of an industry which has changed to master one of
the biggest transitions in industrial history.
Utilities at the heart of the energy revolution
We find ourselves in the middle of an energy revolution – so say almost all energy pundits. Who is
leading this revolution is a little less clear, though broad consensus agrees that it is not the utilities.
Indeed, the pace of change seems to be overwhelming the traditional utility business model so
much that questions are being raised as to the long-term health.
I therefore challenge us to use this year’s event to focus on what it takes to turn individual
successes into a trend strong enough to really change the utility industry for the better,
for your customers and companies as well as for our societies.
Utility Partners
But, for all these warnings, many – if not most - continue to believe in the importance of
utilities remaining in the driving seat. Utilities already have the investment capital behind them; an
established relationship with the market; and an existing asset base. But for utilities to maintain
their preeminence some very fundamental issues need addressing, namely building deeper, more
meaningful relations with the customer; continuing and furthering innovation investment; and
getting to grips with and mastering the challenges and opportunities of Big Data.

European Utility Week is an event designed not just to pose the questions, but to find the
answers, primary amongst which is: ‘how can we maintain utilities right at the centre of the
energy revolution?’ Across two programmes – the strategic and the case study - we bring together
representatives from all energy stakeholders to share insights on how the energy sector can move
forward: collectively and constructively.
Representatives from almost every utility in Europe will rub shoulders with the policy makers
and new entrant market innovators to forge conversations and new relations to realize a better,
brighter and cleaner future for European and global energy.
We look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues in Amsterdam in November!

The Grid & Renewables
Design a market to suit your market
To my experience,
European Utility Week
has become the
meeting point for
the European Industry
related to the so
called Smart Grids
Technologies. It’s not
just a workshop and
exhibition on the most
innovative solutions
on that field, it is an
excellent occasion to
share ideas and trends
with the European
opinion leaders of the
new generation of
Smart Grids.
We find ourselves in uncertain times. Where speed and complexity combine together – as is now
happening across the European transmission and distribution power grid – so uncertainty ensues. Add to
this consistently changing regulatory frameworks and a steady stream of new technological innovation, and
so it becomes that only those with a crystal ball might divine what the future holds for European energy.
With the development of distributed clean energy, smart grids and energy storage, utilities have to adapt
their models according to these changes in order to stay viable in a highly competitive industry. The
transformation within the industry will fundamentally change the way consumers procure and control their
energy and the industry should recognize this trend for what it is, explains Mr Berberich.
Yet, cutting through all this opacity, there remain clear and definable challenges which need answering. The
questions that will help us to define what Europe stands for and what it is precisely we wish to achieve.
What role can, and should, market instruments play, for example? How should these sit alongside regulation
and compliance issues? Tax breaks for renewables? They have played a role in hugely growing this market.
But should we still be feeding ‘baby food’ to this already developed animal? And what about the utility
model itself? Some now dare ask whether utilities will be here in 15 years’ time. These monoliths of the
market have brought us thus far. But are their days now numbered in the face of the ‘democratisation’ of
energy? Will the leftfield new market entrants pick up the slack and fill the consumer demand gap?
“I don’t think people will be clipping their wires just yet so utilities need to figure out how they are going
to charge for this service and exactly what these services are going to be and how they will operate in that
world. They need to ask themselves whether they want to be selling that distributed energy, for instance.
That’s what they have to think about.”
We seek to deliver to you a programme that goes beyond simply posing the questions. With both a
strategic and case study programme that drill down on the most pressing issues we seek to offer you
as many answers as we do questions. Utilities, energy start-ups, consumer groups and even non-energy
stakeholders will input their views on how energy of the future should look. Taking into account what this
‘utopia’ might look like, we prompt energy professionals to consider how they can meet those demands.
For too long energy has been shaped by the utilities in their ivory towers. European Utility Week forces
those people to come down to meet their market and answer their demands.

Energy Storage
The building blocks of future energy
European Utility
Week is the place
where you can meet
all the key stakeholders
of the industry,
providing you with
a great opportunity
to network and stay
up to date with the
market developments
in the Energy Storage
space.
Filip Smeets, General
Manager On-site Generation,
Hydrogenics Europe N.V.
Though we might differ on the finer points of what constitutes the ideal energy utopia, few would disagree
on the inclusion of the following basic factors: clean, efficient, fully integrated and where energy costs are
so low they are almost non-existent, or even free. There are few other technological fronts then which
offer so much promise as that of energy storage to fulfil this vision. A fully deployed cost-effective global
storage infrastructure would be little short of the panacea people so desperately seek to stem the rise of
harmful carbon emissions.
In one fell swoop a fully functioning storage system could have the power to take power plants off line
and even potentially eliminate their need totally with enough renewable generation capacity installed.
Wind and solar could take their deserved place as the prime sources of global energy. Such is the stuff of
dreams, some might say. But with progress happening across so many areas from fuel cells, power-to-gas
technology, end-use energy storage, heat storage, long life lithium-ion battery innovation and so much
more, there is a strong case to be positive about future progress.
European Utility Week remains hopeful and so we present overviews of what is happening across all
major energy storage types currently under research and development, trials and deployment. We offer
representation from all key utilities, institutes and markets to give a holistic understanding of latest progress.
The strategic programme delves further still into what the future holds, identifying where existing market
and regulatory bottlenecks and catalysers can help and hinder progress. This is a program for all those
interested in the power of storage to change the face of energy for ever… and, of course, also for all those
pessimists yet to be convinced!
What steps need to be taken to speed up the energy
storage industry developments in Europe?
The overseas territories represent an extremely interesting experimentation terrain for the development of
stationary electricity storage. While the French installation potential remains limited (200 to 400 MW), the
projects studied in the PEPS report (surface CAES, Li-Ion batteries, etc.) are cost-effective for the community
and the prospects for worldwide deployment are promising (by taking into consideration not only the islands
but also the regions in which the electricity grid has a low level of interconnection), which thus leads to an
interesting starting point for the creation of an export industry for stationary storage systems.
In terms of ancillary services, the study shows that a highly responsive electricity storage system dedicated
to supplying the primary reserve in Metropolitan France would generate savings for the community of 250 to
450 k€/MW/year installed. For this, flywheels and batteries appear to be promising solutions: the forecasted
investment cost at the horizon 2030 for ½ hour of storage is estimated at 180 k€/MW/year for flywheels
(assuming 20 years of depreciation) and 80 k€/MW/year for a Li-Ion battery (assuming 10 years of depreciation).
Yet, more detailed analysis and experimentations are necessary in order to quantify the operational costs and
the technical feasibility of using the different technologies to this end. Regulatory modifications would be
required to allow the exclusive participation of an electricity storage system in the reserve.

Smart Metering, ICT & Grid Security
Empowering your consumer
The data mountain on which the energy sector now sits has been compared to a mountain of gold. The Open Data Strategy, an initiative
founded by the European Commission to encourage open data sharing, has been projected to deliver a €40 billion boost to the EU’s economy
each year. Spying this opportunity, third party energy retailers are offering data and marketing know-how to utilities, and in so doing, becoming
household names in their own right. Opower and Nest are two such companies whose guiding principal has been to use data intelligently to
deliver what the customer wants. Data, perhaps more than any other, will be the deciding factor between who wins out and who avoids the fate
of Kodak: a downfall that has become a byword of the dangers of ignoring opportunities to empower the consumer.
But for all the improvements to efficiency, customer satisfaction, profit base lines and ultimately to carbon emissions, capitalizing on data remains a challenge.
The much hyped danger of ceding data to private companies, resulting in theft of identities and of material goods is making consumers nervous. And to
hand this information to the energy utilities – who’s interests are rarely portrayed as being aligned with the consumer’s – makes that challenge all the greater.
The Smart Metering, ICT, Data Management and Grid Security programmes take as their focal point the waves of Big Data currently crashing against
the shores of the energy sector. Given the greater room for maneuver in this sector, in comparison say to the more heavily regulated transmission
and distribution grid, utilities have huge opportunities to borrow ideas and creative talent from market leaders across all sectors.
Digital innovation within the utility
While transformation is certainly a necessity today, adapting to the digital revolution requires a change in
management styles and culture, introducing a new culture into a company is one of the biggest challenges.
However, this can be overcome by pointing to the benefits of transformation. “Cultures will differ from
company to company and country to country therefore the approach to each one has to be unique”,
explains Mr Pepicelli.
Mr Pepicelli points out that both IT and business skills are necessary to support digital innovation. These
skill sets will support innovative strategies and address new insights. Varying skills will be called upon to
uncover new phenomena and develop new technology and capabilities.
Mr Pepicelli will be speaking in the ICT & Data Management strategic programme track at European Utility
Week and share some of his team’s successes and learnings.
European Utility Week employs the expertise of a range of non-energy data, marketing and non-energy expertise to highlight the potential pitfalls
and rewards for deploying an optimized data and marketing strategy. These sessions are a must for any utility professional seeking to entrench
relations with their consumers, deliver value for money and add credibility to their brand at a time when utilities are under so much flak.

The democratisation of energy
European
Utility Week
is the annual
get-together
of the industry
and therefore
provides with a
perfect platform
to network and
stay up-to-date
with the market
developments.
Ed Barrett,

“The time has come when control of power has moved into the hands of the consumers forever.” So said Dr.
Johannes Teyssen, Chairman of the Board of Management and CEO of E.ON SE.
When this statement was delivered at a gala dinner for energy dignitaries, no audible gasp or sharp intake of breath
was heard for it only confirmed what all experts know to be the case. The democratization of energy has begun. But
more than any sector, this process is set to change the industry out of all recognition.
There will be winners and there will be losers in the marathon that is to come. Only those who train, who equip
themselves properly and, above all, who understand the challenge ahead will succeed. And continuing with the same
analogy, one might argue that only the nimblest of athletes divested of excess baggage and able to think and act
quickly on their feet - if and when that finish line shifts – will succeed.
Reading through the list of market players set to bolster their hand in the smart energy consumer market reads a little
like the who’s who of the world’s most recognized brands. Apple, AT&T, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and others
are in a race to control the smart home of the future. Likewise in the smart city space, utilities will increasingly find
themselves in competition with companies previously serving their interests. IBM and Siemens are both investing
heavily. So in spite of the advantages utilities enjoy: brand recognition, an established consumer base, a strong capital
base and support from governments like few other industries enjoy, industry spectators remain on the lookout for
the other major players moving in.
The market calls for innovation
The digital home in Europe has yet to be defined as a mass market “unique selling proposition”. This is
unlike the US where the starting point for the market was fundamentally different. The US focused on
monitoring security for a start and then added other home automation equipment like extra video cameras
and door locks. Currently, there are 2 million homes in the US with these self-monitoring services and the
numbers are growing fast.
No-one in Europe has done anything at scale yet and this is the reason for Furnell’s argument for the multisided business model. Survey based research shows that Europeans will buy the product at “the right price”
but it is a lot lower than what the market price is.
Furnell says that the multi-sided business models will help companies achieve that lower price for the
European market. “Because the market won’t take off until people get a fundamentally lower price.”
So, how will companies achieve this? By thinking outside of the box, explains Furnell. “You have to be really
creative because you can’t build a linear business case to get there.”

“Google for instance has a more natural control over how they can share data or monetize it. Whereas
other companies would have to start up quite sophisticated and with deeper relationships-that may be
harder to get off the ground. That might help shape what does and what doesn’t work.”
European Utility Week shines a light on the movers and the shakers, asking who is doing what, and above all, who is
seeing success from their efforts to court the consumer. Across the two market interfaces: the home and the city, we
expose the corporate strategies, the business models, the partnerships and the deployments which are making waves.

Smart Water
Providing for tomorrow’s generation
The water sector
faces critical global
challenges that require
a major transformation
in the way we engage
with other sectors.
European Utility Week
offers the exciting
prospect of bringing
utility leaders from
the water and energy
sectors together to
forge partnerships
and create sustainable
solutions for our water
and energy needs.
The symbiotic relationship between water and energy over the years has been as close as any one
might find in nature. The two components are equally integral to each other’s generation, extraction and
purification. And with the inexorable urbanisation of the world’s population, the demand on these two
resources becomes more apparent. The World Bank reports that cities will need to meet the increasing
demand for food, energy, and water services of 70 million more people each year over the next 20 years.
Meanwhile the World Energy Council forecast that economies like China, India and Brazil will double their
energy consumption in the next 40 years and that by 2050 Africa’s electricity generation will be seven
times as high as nowadays.
As demand grows, so these two resources will become more intertwined. The water and energy sectors
have traditionally stood as independent utility sectors, each equally fundamental to our health, quality of
life, and economic growth but existing as essentially siloed enterprises, running in parallel to each other.
This distant relationship is one that will signify a bygone era in the face of requirements for greater levels
of cooperation and shared planning to deliver the levels of efficiency now expected.
The Smart Water programme of European Uitlity Week, produced in partnership with the International Water
Association, takes as its area of focus the water-energy nexus. In particular the programme focusses on
the major themes common to both, including smart meter roll outs, Big Data and smart grids. Discussion
will centre around the commonalities between the two industries approaches and where greater levels of
synergy and symbiosis can be engendered.
Ger Bergkamp, Executive
Director, IWA
The water energy nexus
Developing sustainable solutions for optimizing the water – energy linkages will require technological
innovation and close cooperation between the water and energy sectors. The water – energy linkages are
at the heart of creating the green economy of tomorrow. Investments in and benefits from good water
management can be a driver for a green economy. To realize this promise, however, we need to connect
much better to those outside the water sector and innovate much faster.
The water sector also needs to become more efficient and more carbon neutral. Water management
accounts for between 5% and 10% of all carbon emission globally. Working towards a water sector that is
energy – neutral, can save financial resources that can be used for other investments. Increasingly, there is
great interest within the water sector for investing in energy efficiency and alternative energy production
within the urban water and wastewater cycles. New energy efficient pumps or aerations systems can repay
the investment in as little as five years. These types of investments can reduce operating costs by between
20% and 50%.
Through the IWA Water, Energy and Climate Programme, a new framework for energy efficiency of water
and wastewater utilities has been developed. This framework makes progress towards establishing energy
efficiency benchmarks and will assist utility managers to better compare their performance and to assess
the feasibility and affordability of becoming more energy efficient.
In addition to a
dedicated Smart Water
track in the Strategic
Programme, Smart
Water Solutions will
be further integrated
into the exhibition this
year, adding a new
attendee profile and
broadening the overall
scope and therefore
strength of the
event.
Paddy Young, Show Director
European Utility Week,
Synergy
On the energy side, IWA is starting to connect with energy producing companies and stakeholders that rely
on water for their day-to-day business and long-term strategy; including hydro-power, the oil and mining
industry and wholesale electricity providers. The ‘water for energy’ discourse is complex, however, it is
perceived by leaders in the energy sector as a critical risk factor that needs to be addressed.
