Diese Studie untersucht Trends in der Rekommunalisierung in der Entsorgungswirtschaft in Deutschland, analysiert mögliche Erklärungsansätze und überprüft diese empirisch. Wir finden Hinweise auf eine Rekommunalisierungsspirale: Kommunalisierung in der Vergangenheit verstärkt die Anreize für Kommunen zur Kommunalisierung in der Zukunft. Dies liegt, so unsere Vermutung, zum einen an „Ausstrahlwirkungen“ von benachbarten Kommunen, zum anderen an der sinkenden kommerziellen Attraktivität privater Angebote in einem schrumpfenden Wettbewerbsmarkt. Damit können von der Option der kommunalen Eigenerstellung wettbewerbliche Effekte ausgehen. Auf Basis der empirischen Ergebnisse schlägt diese Studie einen Test vor, ob Kommunen die Möglichkeit und den Anreiz zur Rekommunalisierung haben, um zu prüfen, ob die Option der kommunalen Eigenerstellung wettbewerbliche Effekte haben kann.

The ESMT innovation index 2014 – Electricity supply industry measures innovation activities of 16 major European electricity utilities in three dimensions: research, productivity and sustainability. French company EDF and Spanish company Iberdrola score highest in the overall ranking. While 14 out of 16 utilities were able to improve their innovation performance over the last 8 years, it can also be observed that utilities readjusted and focused their research activities between 2012 and 2014, and new patent registration substantially declined since 2012.
