NIEUW: De whitepaper over Allocatie 2.0 Tranche 3 en vooruitblik op Tranche 4
Voor de duurzame energietransitie in Nederland is een flexibel energiesysteem essentieel. Vraag en duurzaam aanbod moeten goed op elkaar zijn afgestemd, op basis van werkelijk gemeten energiestromen. Dat stimuleert gebruikers ook om hun verbruik aan te passen. In het meerjarige sectorbrede programma Allocatie 2.0, geregisseerd door MFFBAS (voorheen de NEDU), wordt deze nieuwe manier van alloceren met alle marktpartijen vormgegeven. We borgen een betere werking van de energiemarkt waardoor processen transparanter, eerlijker en efficiënter zijn. Hoe kijken de ICE Consultants die zich hiervoor inzetten hiernaar?
What is the importance of Allocation 2.0?
"The Netherlands is in dire need of a new way of allocating," argues Arjan Visser, Senior Consultant. "Instead of allocation with static consumption profiles, and thus many assumptions, there is a need for a system that allocates energy quantities based on actual data. Allocation 2.0 sets up an energy system that is flexible and can therefore be sustainable and future-proof.
With developments in the energy transition, this prevents serious disruption of market operations and, in time, risks regarding security of supply. A better functioning of the energy market is secured, making processes more transparent, fair and efficient. This is more than worth the investment in social terms."

What are the main challenges?
Luuk Westera, Business Analyst: "First, there is regulatory uncertainty, especially when the Energy Act 1.0 is a reality. Then there is the dependence on political choices. After all, Allocation 2.0 is a multi-year programme. What changes may still come is not yet foreseeable. It is also a very expensive programme. Will it continue to be considered worth the investment?
Ten vierde heeft het impact op alle marktpartijen. Er zijn veel stakeholders, veel afhankelijkheden en daarmee veel verschillende meningen. Dat kan leiden tot wijzigende scenario’s. Tot slot is de programmasturing ingewikkeld en omvangrijk. Daarbij speelt ook dat MFFBAS het proces veelal bestuurt volgens een waterval-georiënteerd proces. Veel andere partijen kennen tegenwoordig echter een agile development process. It then happens, for example, that parties already want to start work, while the documentation is not complete and established at that time."

How do ICE Consultants demonstrate their added value?
"In the first tranche, Theme Release 2021, it's mainly about changes to messaging," indicates Tester/Business Analyst Brian Wijngaarde. "What I see is that the volume of messages will remain about the same for now, but the changes in roles and mandates will make the whole thing simpler and more efficient. As ICEs, we have a unique network to share knowledge, be each other's enquirers and spar to get to good solutions quickly. Everyone delivers quality in their own field and at the same time we have a broad scope together."
"All in all, Allocation 2.0 is a valuable and complex programme, both in terms of content and organisation," Luuk adds. "We are currently focusing purely on the content side of the programme. There is also change management expertise within ICE. If necessary, we can make use of this expertise."
