Value proposition

The utilities sponsor the construction of home-based solar systems. Later consumers generate electricity and get energy certificates, which can be used for refunding the investments.

Customer segment

Utilities are doing consumer discrimination for dividing active and passive consumers through the management of consumers’ interface with transparent data.

Key resources

Integration of renewable energy sources equipment’s (wind power system and photovoltaic solar systems) are the essential technologies for electricity generation.

Key activates

Distribution of localized energy production to localized energy consumption on demand. Surplus goes to the grid system. Utilities for managing resources elaborate new techniques. Integration is the key component of activities between the production and the consumption side.

Key partners

The central partners are the companies which produce renewable energy (wind and solar) and those building energy systems. Energy distribution actors need to be integrated along electric roads, and integrated solutions need to be developed with many actors.

Revenue model

Revenues for utilities contain loan interests, as well as investments added to property value. Banks are getting revenue via using feed-in-tariff plan. There is a possible direction that energy distributors and smart grid system owners will change their value chain position to energy production in order to control the entire system. Thus, the revenue model will transform to integrated system providers. However, there is a risk of monopoly.
