Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to analyse the effect of electricity sector liberalisation on the development of distributed generation, and more specifically to examine the conditions in which these new electricity generating technologies can be diffused in a liberalised framework. The paper looks first at how competition has affected the electricity market. This analysis is followed by an examination of the problems of inte-grating distributed generation into electricity systems. In the third part of the paper, three brief case studies highlight the principal differences between Germany, the United Kingdom and France in the field of distrib-uted generation. This brief analysis reveals that the institutional framework in which distributed generation must operate and the price signals given to electricity sector actors play as big a part as traditional incentives, certificates, bidding systems or guaranteed feed-in tariffs in driving the deployment process.
