About the distinction
With the recent liberalization and re-regulation of the energy sector the market conditions for municipal utilities changed fundamentally, which required an adaptation of new market strategies, processes and structures. The thesis of Carsten Sander systematically studies strategies of municipal utilities to cooperate with each other. Based on value chains, the potential for cooperation is also checked empirically, and critical variables for the success of joint ventures are identified.
