| Tiivistelmä: | This article looks, against the backcloth of EU regulation, at the politics of necessity regarding electricity provision in Germany. Writers have chosen electricity as a case because its provision has been undergoing a profound process of liberation and deregulation. Electricity is also a network industry and a natural monopoly subject to systematic market failure, which calls for regulation. This article proposes a three-role model of the consumer as a market player, as a citizen and as a micro-producer in households and networks. Depending on the roles, consumers take on different social and political identities. Then the article describes the legal state and the development of deregulation in the electricity sector in Germany. |
