Dramatic backlog in the smart meter rollout and the expansion of smart grids, technology from the post-war period and huge financial gaps: The sluggish transformation of the distribution grid is jeopardising the energy transition in Germany. This is the alarming result of the survey ‘Is the energy transition failing on the last mile?’ conducted by AXXCON, a management consultancy specialising in the energy sector, in which 104 distribution grid operators in Germany took part.
Energy experts warn of dependence on US tech companies: German companies urgently need to develop resilience strategies.

The energy market in Germany is undergoing profound change. Regulatory changes, new market entrants and shifting customer needs are posing major challenges, particularly for municipal utilities. The traditional supply of electricity and gas is under pressure.
The energy transition requires public utilities to realign their strategy, organisation and processes. AXXCON supports municipal utilities in successfully mastering this change and positioning themselves for a sustainable future.
We are delighted that AXXCON has once again been ranked among Germany’s leading consultancy firms for the eleventh consecutive year, as shown by brand eins’s 2025 rankings.
