Description

A market for energy services is emerging. Energy suppliers and building services contractors have the same customers but have traditionally operated in different markets. The boundary between the energy and building services markets is blurred. Substantial degrees of freedom are being created for the customer in a free market. After the initial euphoria about this, there will be a realization that there are also risks, for example as a result of price fluctuations, uncertainty about supplier reliability, the effects of the rates system, complex regulation and political decision making. If people want to reduce these risks and through this make costs controllable, attention must be paid to the interdependence between aspects on the supply side, in the energy supply system and on the demand side

Abstract (Dutch)

Er ontstaat een markt voor energiediensten. Energieleveranciers en installatiebedrijven hebben dezelfde klanten maar traditioneel opereerden zij in gescheiden markten. De grenzen tussen energie- en installafiemarkt vervagen. Voor de klant ontstaan in een vrije markt grotere vrijheidsgraden. Na de eerste euforie hierover komt ook het besef dat er ook risico's zijn, bijvoorbeeld door prijsfluctuaties, onzekerheid over leveringsbetrouwbaarheid, effecten van het tariefsysteem, complexe regelgeving en politieke besluitvorming. Wil men deze risico's verminderen en daarmee de kosten beheersbaar krijgen, dan zal aandacht moeten worden geschonken oon de samenhong tussen aspecten aan aanbodzijde, de energievoorziening en de vraagzijde
