The energy transition is changing the energy system: In addition to central producers and traders, decentralized energy producers and individual prosumers are entering the system. For example, you can generate, store and sell energy independently through citizen energy cooperatives. By ensuring that large energy supply companies, municipal utilities and energy cooperatives all provide green energy, the decarbonization of energy production is being promoted together.

The increasingly extensive interconnections in energy supply are giving rise to new business models, e.g. long-term electricity purchase agreements (PPA) between producers and industrial customers. Systems that are not or no longer subsidized can continue to be operated profitably while the customer purchases the electricity at fixed prices agreed in advance.
