Distributed Ledger als Instrument einer dezentralen Energiewende

The challenges of a sustainable energy supply have become a political issue of decisive importance termed as "energy transition": The expansion of renewable energy plants aims at compensating for the loss of conventional energy generating capacities, which guarantee that sufficient electrical power is available even in times of unsteady demand. Distributed registers have the potential to (r)evolutionise energy supply structures: The doctoral thesis investigates inherent challenges concerning energy and data protection law of the disruptive technology in the light of the market integration of renewable energies.
