The energy industry is characterised by legally ordained, fundamental structural change in the course of market liberalisation.
Unlike any other sector, the industry is subject to changing legal requirements in the face of constantly changing challenges. Only those businesses that surrender to change and regard this as an opportunity will remain market players in the future. What is more, energy industry framework conditions are currently extraordinarily challenging.
