Using realistic PREdi distribution areas, we model the effect of massive PV deployment, both without and with batteries, on the change in distribution revenues at current (unchanged) distribution rates. We compare three scenarios, namely installation without overflows (i.e. not generating ancillary costs), installation in a size leading to "zero district" (annual production equals annual consumption), and the theoretical maximum possible installation (theoretical space limit of usable areas), against the current (reference) situation. Under the current regulation (revenue cap approach), the regulator has to increase charges in the future to compensate for the decrease in revenue due to lower transmission volumes. Calculations show that distribution tariffs may thus increase very significantly, leading to risks arising from significant socialization of costs through inappropriate setting of distribution tariffs. As a result, current energy policies pose a serious regulatory problem, with socially unsustainable consequences, and consequently a significant political problem.

Annotation:
We have inherited a fine-tuned and functional energy system from our ancestors. At present, this system is divided, which is also not a dogma in neighbouring European countries (municipal city companies - Stadtwerke in German), but it is also partly out of tune with the inappropriate implementation of RES and, apart from the Czechoslovak industry, it serves mainly stock exchange processes and partly ideological processes, coming mainly from the neighboring country, often without appropriate technical solutions and engineering logic, including new requirements for system management with higher penetration of RES and corresponding tariff policy. New decentralized investments require a clear signal on how they are to operate in the future and what will be beneficial for them, at the moment we only have chaos and repeated EU admonitions for legislative inaction.

Annotation:
In the mid of the decade of 2020 we will witness substantial changes in the electric energy sector. The Germany will close all their nuclear plants and the Czech Republic together with other countries will be phasing out more of the coal power plants. This book maps the future risks and offers potential solutions allowing sufficient and affordable electric energy supply in the Czech Republic.
