Economic Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage

• Requirements for private investments by the consumers;
• To mobilise capital it is necessary to find ways to increase the value of the decentralised power assets, as well as to find ways to monetise this value;
• Need for a clear business proposition in order to facilitate access to funding.

Technical Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage

• Requirements for significant intelligence at both Distribution & Transmition Grid;
• Interoperability: Need for standardised interfaces for the deployment of small scale solutions for innovative energy system integration and management;
• Need for technical specifications for small-scale electricity storage.
  

Regulatory Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage

• Need for legal support for new business models in the energy sector;
• Inertia due to existing and planned investments in centralised generation;
• Need for clear responsibilities and contractual arrangements to ensure system's stability;
• Need for alignment between current technological capabilities and the current building code.
  

• Critical role of Financing Institutions, positive and netagive at the same time;
• Inertia of the Technical Chamber of Greece to establish required registries.
