Nätnyttoersättningens utformning : En fallstudie på elnätsbolaget E.ON Energidistribution

Sammanfattning: In today’s society it is more common for industries to automate their businesses and more people are in need of electricity. Therefore, a stable and reliable supply of electricity is needed. When more people need electricity, it affects the liability of the powerlines which leads to more losses. Producers can be a part of the solution by producing closer to the consumers. When doing so they have the right to compensation from the electrical companies for the utility they bring. However, the compensation lacks clear guidelines of how it should be calculated. To develop a common ground for the electrical companies they can use when calculating the compensation is therefore needed. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute with an understanding of which factors that are necessary for the compensation and how they can help develop a business model for the compensation which supports both the environment and the energy policy to 100% renewable energy in electricity generation by 2040. The study originates from a qualitative method where systematic combining was used. A case study with semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents was conducted at E.ON Energy Networks. Since the compensation has not been studied as deeply before and many lack knowledge of what it means, this study created a foundation for the electricity companies to stand on when it comes to the compensation. The study resulted in several factors that consist of both tangible and intangible values. Through these factors, the foundation of a business model for the compensation could be created via a Business Model Canvas. The views of various stakeholders were considered in the development of the business model. The most important factors for the compensation were that it should be fair, transparent, clear and easy to understand. It also proved to be essential to involve a sustainable thinking, which led to two additional factors being constructed, one environmental factor and one factor for lack of capacity.
