The challenges facing the energy markets and the energy transition are resulting in a strategic repositioning of companies in the energy industry - not least the approximately 800 municipal energy suppliers, which also have to fulfil municipal tasks.

Co-operations to strengthen competitiveness

In view of the frequent lack of critical size, cooperations have become established in which the aim is usually to strengthen the independence and visibility of municipal companies while at the same time utilising synergy effects in terms of economies of scale and expertise to strengthen competitiveness and resilience.

Success factor: suitable cooperation partners

The success of such collaborations - whether on a contractual basis, through the establishment of joint ventures, acquisition of shareholdings or mergers - depends on the selection of suitable partners, careful planning and preparation of the strategic concept and professional project management.
