OSLO DEMO - OVERVIEW
4
The Volslokka school project includes the construction of two new buildings and renovation of the listed building “Heidenreich”, inlcuding Oslo's first plus-energy school (a surplus of energy generated). This implies that all energy needs are covered, including appliances/plug-loads. The total area of the PV-installation is 1556m², with a yearly estimated production of 192 MWh.

The new school facility will be integrated in the surrounding local area, complementing the area with new functions and activities and strengthening the area’s green structure. ARV project actions include resource efficient renovation processes and district energy analysis and operation, highlighting social, educational, and digital aspects to enhance citizens involvement and generating Citizen Energy Communities.

CategoryReadiness
Implementation
Key findings
1) Underutilised potential across all categories with regards to readiness
2) Market-driven mechanisms show moderate readiness but lower implementation, indicating unused implementation potential
3) Regulatory and investment / operational economics driven mechanisms remain particularly limited in readiness, with minimal financial or policy incentives for prosumers

Recommendations
1) Introduce regulatory incentives for prosumers to participate in market-based flexibility and local energy trading. The absence of mechanisms such as peer-to-peer trading, critical-peak pricing, reward schemes, and tradable certificates means that flexibility and renewable generation cannot currently generate meaningful economic value.

2) Support the development of an aggregation pathway that allows schools to use batteries and other flexible loads to access arbitrage and ancillary service markets. Although energy storage could be used to shift consumption to cheaper hours and provide frequency response, participation is currently limited by high upfront costs and the need for specialised control and market pre-qualification. Enabling schools to join aggregators or municipal flexibility programmes would unlock this potential and make storage investments more attractive, while also creating the basis for future platform-based business models that coordinate flexibility across multiple public buildings.

3) Assess how flexibility services and congestion relief payments could be developed and activated in Oslo. These unusued mechanisms represent a clear opportunity to strengthen prosumer value creation once regulatory and market conditions allow it.
