Abstract
The energy transformation has a major impact on the development of value creation and business models in the energy industry. This development especially affects rural areas. Therefore, this paper presents a capture of the value chain of energy industry for the examined “model region Mecklenburg”. Furthermore, this paper shows the application of the business model framework for the energy transformation (BMFE) from Giehl et al. (2020) to identify prototypical business models, as a summary of similar business models. Based on this identification, regional value creation networks are developed and analyzed. They are used in order to derive recommendations for the model region, in connection with the approach of value creation clusters according to Porter (1991).
