Energy management legislation

Due to the liberalisation efforts over the last few years, both in the grid sector and in the supply and measurement operation, energy management legislation is constantly gaining in importance. An increased regulation of incentives, the unbundling of energy supply companies, the promotion of renewable energy sources and the return of energy supplies to local authority control are just a few of the vital key words in a highly dynamic environment.
