Abstract

This chapter deals with the options available for increasing the competitiveness of municipal utility companies by means of co-operation at various stages of the value chain. In the course of this, the fields of electricity generation and exploration and trading of gas, electricity and gas supply network systems in particular are examined, as are distribution matters, as they offer municipal utility companies chances to optimise their cost structure and to develop new profit potentials. For the future, the co-operation between municipal utility companies seems inevitable if they are to continue to exist as independent players on the German energy market as its general conditions change.
