Unterschiedliche Einordnungen der Stromspeicherung im Rahmen des deutschen Rechts

In German energy law, electricity storage is currently not viewed as an independent activity but rather divided into electricity consumption and production. However, European law prescribes a different understanding, in which a storage is treated as one economic unit with its own respective market role. This work examines the extent to which this different understanding of electricity storage is compatible with the national legal framework as well as the possible consequences of its application. For this purpose, this dissertation outlines the two understandings, compares their effects on legal certainty and shows which of them appears to be preferable.
