“…Through the TL-BMC analysis for SLES projects, we highlight areas where their business models, or reporting thereof, need to improve their environmental, social and economic impacts. While the economic layer provided by this research does not deviate extensively from other single-layer BMC energy-themed analyses (Braunholtz-Speight et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2020;Hamwi et al, 2021), triple-layered analyses remain either extremely limited (e.g., Lin et al, 2018; focusing on the EV battery business), or unexplored in the case of SLES. We adapt and extend the TL-BMC to SLES by introducing new elements to correspond to the operations of energy projects as distinct from other business sectors, and adding analysis of "smart" and "local" aspects, linked to the TL-BMC social layer.…”

Smart and local energy systems (SLES) offer an alternative to large-scale energy provision and a boost to the transition towards a low-carbon economy. However, the Business Model Canvas (BMC), an increasingly used framework for analyzing SLES, does not adequately describe the multiple value streams that can characterize the business models of numerous SLES projects. In this research, we modify and use the triple-layered BMC to analyze 18 SLES projects selected globally. The decarbonisation, digitalization and democratization associated with SLES, means that the value proposition extends beyond straightforward economic value and towards environmental and social value, and we find a wide reporting gap of environmental and social elements. We argue that the triple-layered BMC, which incorporates the environmental and social layers into its analysis, better reflects real-world business model complexity. We provide a common framework to SLES stakeholders for identifying and adding environmental and social value to their business models.
