(TU Delft Energie and Industrie; Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI) Chappin, E.J.L. (TU Delft Energie and Industrie) Klobasa, M. (Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI) De Vries, Laurens (TU Delft Energie and Industrie) Date 2022 Abstract Household electricity use has an increasing impact on the overall energy system. Numerous proposals have been made to support households to consume electricity in a system-friendlier manner. By breaking these proposals down into functions and how they are performed, this paper identifies four distinctive governance designs: energy communities, variable electricity tariffs, local energy markets and virtual power plants. None covers all the functions required and each addresses different trade-offs that households face. Energy communities focus on investing in energy assets, while the others target the operation of households’ assets, including demand response. Virtual power plants attract profit-oriented consumers, while the others primarily target normative consumers.
