In 2023, the energy sector is once again facing significant changes. The German energy transition is pursuing the ambitious goal of increasing its share of electricity from renewable energies to at least 80 per cent by 2030. The German Renewable Energy Sources Act 2023 (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz, EEG 2023) plays a decisive role in the implementation of this plan. And the advancing digitalisation in this area is also leading to changes in market communications. In this blog post, both aspects will be examined in greater detail.

The German Federal Network Agency published adjustments to the MaKo 2022 on 1 October 2021 (part 1) and 15 October 2021 (part two). These changes cover three areas in particular: EDIFACT data formats, XML data exchange and decision tree diagrams. We explain what this means in detail in our blog post.

In addition to many other changes, the implementation of MaKo 2022 (Market Communication 2022) has also resulted in the introduction of a new market role: from 1 April 2022, the energy service provider (Energieserviceanbieter, ESA) will expand the range of roles in market communication. In our blog post, we reveal the potential to stimulate competition in metering and thus have a decisive influence on the entire energy sector.
