ABSTRACT Germany's energy transition goals represent a fundamental transformation of the national energy supply, closely tied to the expansion of renewable energies and increased energy efficiency. Dynamic pricing models are considered promising tools to support the shift to a more sustainable and decentralized energy system by adjusting demand to fluctuating renewable energy production through flexible pricing structures. At the same time, the concept of energy sharing allows communities—ranging from neighborhoods to municipalities and entire districts—to collectively use locally generated energy, thus promoting self-sufficiency and sustainable grid relief. This study examines the potentials and challenges arising from the combination of dynamic pricing models and energy sharing, particularly focusing on economic efficiency, consumer acceptance, and the specific requirements in urban and rural areas. The goal is to analyze best practices and challenges to highlight how dynamic pricing models can optimize energy use in decentralized community systems and accelerate the energy transition at the municipal level. |
