Regulation management in the energy industry

PrintMailRate-it
Hardly any other area in Germany is subject to stricter regulation than the operation of energy supply networks. Due to incentive regulations, the regulatory requirements for grid operators have now reached a level where in particular it is quite difficult for small and medium-sized energy suppliers to manage regulatory questions without external consulting services. While energy suppliers are subject to the regulations, companies from other areas are also affected as far as these have infrastructure and equipment for the purpose of supplying energy (e.g. industrial and commercial zones, shopping centres, airports, exhibition centres).
