3 FAQs about [Vatican City grid edge technologies]

Do solar retailers really need a grid edge infrastructure?

Solar retailers already do this for power purchase agreements (PPAs) and leases that they sell to homes and businesses in lieu of selling them the solar system outright. One challenge is that grid edge infrastructure must compete for capital with costly, large-scale renewable investments.

Is grid edge infrastructure a public good?

Those in favor argue that grid edge infrastructure is a public good whose cost should be borne by all utility ratepayers. Opponents fear that utilities may stifle competition by asserting their market power. Moreover, it may be hard to justify ratepayers footing the bill for an asset when private capital stands ready to finance it instead.

Will public utilities be able to fund grid edge infrastructure?

It is unlikely homeowners and businesses will be able to fund the substantial investments in grid edge infrastructure required to decarbonize the grid while enabling widespread electrification and ensuring reliability. That leaves the responsibility – and opportunity – to private capital markets and public utilities.
