In 1990, britain was a pioneer of the package of measures for the electricity industry, variously described as privatization, liberalization, and marketization: in short, the British model. Britain has often been seen as the example other countries should follow. The vision of the proponents of this package of measures was that, in a competitive system, electricity could be bought and sold efficiently in the same way as other products, with no need for sector-specific regulations. However, 30 years later, this vision seems no nearer to being achieved. The current dominance in this sector of climate change considerations over economic efficiency means the market cannot be left alone to function. So, this vision will not be achieved in the short- to medium-term.

Europe started to go through an extremely severe energy crisis in the summer of 2021. The Brussels-based think tank Bruegel reported that governments spent billions of euros, representing several percentage points of their gross domestic product, to shield consumers and industry from high prices (Figure 1). Even when considering that substantial public support, many end users were (at the time of writing, in February 2023) still facing energy affordability issues. At that time, it was not possible to foresee the end and whether an unprecedented scenario of a period of sustained high prices could repeat itself. However, what the energy crisis showed was that although it was a gas crisis, the current regulatory power market compound proved to be fragile to political interference. In this article, we elaborate upon a proactive regulatory-driven solution with the aim to protect (certain tranches of) end users from periods of sustained high electricity prices. Thereby, political turmoil leading to potential negative consequences for the ongoing decarbonization process can be avoided. We call our proposal affordability options.

The engagement of energy customers has been considered an important pillar of the European Union (EU) strategy to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while preserving a competitive and secure energy system. The legislative package Clean Energy for all Europeans (CEP), adopted by the EU in 2019, confirms the relevance of removing the existing barriers for end users not only to choose their energy supplier but also to invest in distributed generation and storage and participate in all energy markets. Interestingly, the new European legal framework goes beyond the recognition of the rights and duties of individual active customers, the so-called prosumers, and introduces for the first time an explicit reference to energy communities, which take two specific definitions: citizen energy communities (CECs) and renewable energy communities (RECs).

Recent geopolitical developments have placed global decarbonization at the top of the global agenda. However, moving toward a low-carbon energy system is challenging. The exponential growth of renewable technologies introduces unprecedented uncertainty in the operators’ decision-making process, while the increasing electrification leads to drastic increases in demand, further straining the power grid. The behavior of electricity customers is no longer a passive parameter of system operation but an active part of it. Demand-side flexibility has been identified as a critical piece of the puzzle, i.e., stimulating customers to modify their consumption patterns and contribute to the energy supply through local production. Residential, office, and commercial buildings contribute roughly 30%–40% of the total energy consumption, hence holding massive potential to offer flexibility services.
