SUMMARY:Can she survive - or thrive? Rethinking the utility business model in the age of DERs
DESCRIPTION:The Africa School of Regulation (ASR)\, in collaboration with Sustainable Energy Africa and GET.transform\, is hosting this webinar to explore how Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are reshaping utility service delivery\, remuneration\, and regulation. \n\n\n\nThe Challenge\n\n\n\nFor over a century\, utilities operated on a simple model: supply electricity to passive consumers and recover costs through tariffs. Today\, that model is under pressure. Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)\, from rooftop solar to battery storage are transforming how electricity is produced\, consumed\, and valued. \n\n\n\nAcross Africa\, this shift meets a fragile foundation. Distribution companies already face financial strain from low-cost recovery and high losses. DERs could deepen these challenges by reducing sales volumes and disrupting revenue flows. Yet\, they also offer opportunities: new sources of flexibility\, reliability\, and grid support if properly valued. \n\n\n\nThis raises a critical question: Can the traditional utility model survive—or even thrive—in a decentralised energy landscape? \n\n\n\nAbout the Webinar\n\n\n\nThis session will open a forward-looking conversation on how DERs are reshaping utility service\, remuneration\, and regulation. It will explore: \n\n\n\n\nHow DERs disrupt traditional cost-recovery models\n\n\n\nWhat fair value exchange looks like in a multi-actor system\n\n\n\nHow tariff and remuneration frameworks must evolve\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for regulators\, utilities\, policymakers\, and energy professionals\, the webinar will challenge long-standing assumptions and set the stage for practical solutions in future capacity-building programs. \n\n\n\n\nDownload the presentation
