“…Depending on the future CHP regulatory framework, innovative developments in cogeneration, such as Micro-Collective-Flexible-SmartHigh-Efficiency MCFlexSHE CHP and cogeneration cooperatives/communities, could become important flexibility resources. For a discussion about the possible future regulatory framework of CHP in Europe, addressing these and other developments, see [62].…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse and evaluate the deployment of smart platforms (operated by distribution system operators—DSOs—or by independent parties) in key jurisdictions that facilitate the trading of flexibility services—primarily by DSOs. We look at key innovation projects/initiatives from seven jurisdictions, including Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, The Netherlands and Norway. We have deliberately selected 13 use cases that operate under different regulatory frameworks and market rules, and have been recently implemented (from 2017 onwards). With the selection of key use cases this study seeks to discuss the different smart architecture solutions and main capabilities across different demonstrators and their relationship to business as usual. It also analyses flexibility market designs, identifies main characteristics, and compares different price formation schemes and procurement methods. The value of flexibility for DSOs is also discussed.

“…Their extreme nature demarcates a space filled with a mixed economy, which brings regulation among its elements (Sokołowski, 2018, p. 598). In this way, it is a "regulatory zone" with the regulatora day-watchman (Sokołowski, 2013(Sokołowski, , 20162018;2020a;2020b). This position derives from a model of neither an active state's participation in the market nor a complete resignation from participation (Sokołowski, 2016, p. 89).…”

“…Furthermore, one can personalize actors of this relation with the notions of a “householder” and “guests” (Sokołowski, 2020b, p. 175). In this context, the day-watchman model provides a balance between the market and the state, between public and private interests, between active and passive participants of the market-play (“guests”).…”

“…They appear, disappear or reappear in the market game offered by the state (“householder”). Being a middle-ground approach a day-watchman model – if appropriately adopted – can build a bridge between the extremes of total subordination and complete release (Sokołowski, 2018, p. 598; 2020b, p. 175). Let us now apply this model to the regulation during pandemic.…”

“…If one could create an allegory of the enforcement provided under the two discussed types of states, the Leviathan and minimal government, this would be a story of two sheriffs. The first of them, an “overzealous sheriff” (under the Leviathan-state) breaks into an office and searches for evidence of illegal business activities, even though no search warrant was issued, while the latter, “a night watchman” (of the minimal government-state) sits in relative darkness, occasionally twirls a baton or revolver (when not asleep) and waits, warding off potential intruders, just by being there (Sokołowski, 2020b, p. 174). In comparison, the regulator – day-watchman, the active observer, but not the active participant, works in both daylight and overnight, keeping the baton or revolver on hold, being awake and observes (Sokołowski, 2020b, p. 181).…”

Purpose While fighting with the novel coronavirus will not be the main goal of sectoral regulators, different regulatory authorities join the struggle by providing a regulatory response. The purpose of this paper is to address this regulatory response in pandemic gathered around eight thematic areas. Design/methodology/approach This paper discusses the regulatory response in pandemic gathered around eight thematic areas, namely, the objectives, rules and standards, authorization and permits, procedure, monitoring and surveillance, enforcement, accountability and an institution presenting regulatory actions to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19) in reference to day-watchman type regulation. Findings Tackling the COVID-19 pandemic should be a knowledge-based approach (taking as much as possible from best available practices with respect to the novel coronavirus) with a framework of rules, standards, authorization, permits and guidance, monitored and enforced in a way adjusted to conditions of the pandemic, being as safe (as non-physical, as online) as possible, with suspended or extended deadlines, free of unnecessary administrative burdens. In this way, regulation should be pragmatic and flexible, as under the day-watchman model. Research limitations/implications In a post-pandemic regime, in the short run, the regulators should try to minimize the social and economic challenges faced by consumers and entrepreneurs. Among them, one may find scaling back, at least temporarily, the rules developed in non-disaster contexts. However, in the end, the post-disaster reforms tended to strengthen regulators’ hands, also under the deregulated government. The day-watchman type regulation balances both, as a middle ground approach, being a bridge between “a total subordination” and “a complete release.” Practical implications The disaster management (including public law regulation) provided by public authorities when tackling the effects of hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis can be a benchmark for regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This concerns the support offered to entities and individuals affected by the negative consequences of reducing or stopping their businesses and staying in isolation. Social implications The day-watchman approach, visible in certain examples of public response to COVID-19 may serve as a framework for establishing a regulatory regime that would automatically take effect in case of another pandemic, limiting delays in regulatory actions, reducing non-compliance and accelerating recovery. Originality/value This study provides an analysis of different theories on public regulation addressing the notion of regulation using the day-watchman theory, which could be applied in regulatory actions during a pandemic. The paper discusses concrete steps taken by regulatory authorities worldwide, bringing examples from the USA, Canada, the UK, France, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. It juxtaposes the regulatory experiences derived from different catastrophes such as hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis with the regulatory response in a pandemic.
