Utilities

For tomorrow's energy supply

The energy sector faces unique challenges: strong regulation, security of supply, the decarbonisation of electricity, heat and gas supply, and the expansion of renewable energies require innovative and sustainable strategies. Cooperation between municipal utilities and digital platforms for prosumers enables efficiency, grid stability and active participation in the energy market. At the same time, technologies such as AI, big data, smart grids and automation open up completely new opportunities to optimise processes, improve forecasts and increase customer focus.

msg advisors supports companies in the energy sector during a time of profound transformation. With industry-specific know-how and technological expertise, we develop strategies, optimise processes and design digital platforms to ensure an efficient, sustainable and future-proof energy supply.

Our episode on the SID podcast

2025 07 SIDpodcast Folge 1

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Birkner, Managing Director of House of Energy, and Dr. Christof Spangenberg, Managing Director of m3, discuss the new political changes and current issues affecting the energy industry in the SID podcast.

Topics in this episode:

  • What does Katharina Reiche's appointment mean politically, strategically and in terms of regulatory policy?
  • How flexible can the energy transition actually be – and how inflexible is the current system?
  • Why real-world laboratories often remain just laboratories – and how we can change that.
  • Decentralisation, centralisation – or simply subsidiarity? A plea for thinking in cells.
  • Bidirectional charging, prosumers, gas-fired power plants: who actually has a Plan C here?
  • Why CO₂ avoidance does not begin with ideology, but with global supply.
  • How municipal utilities are still managing to transform themselves despite fibre optics, the heat transition and staff shortages.
  • What role HEMS, storage and price signals play in infrastructure restructuring.

How do the various pillars of the energy transition interact and what role do municipal utilities play in the decarbonization of the heating infrastructure?

msg publications

It is not only the heat output requirement in existing district heating networks that can be better predicted using the digital twin and thus the power feed-in can be controlled more precisely. The new planning and dimensioning of future network infrastructures can also be effectively supported with the help of digital twin technology.
