Abstract. The energy sector in Germany, as in many other countries, is undergoing a major transformation. To achieve the climate targets, numerous measures to implement smart energy and resource efficiency are necessary. Therefore, energy companies are experiencing increasing pressure from politics and society to transform their business areas in a sustainable manner and implement smart and sustainable business models. Consequently, numerous resources are expected to flow into the development and implementation of new business models. But often these efforts remain unsuccessful in practice. There is a large amount of literature on barriers and drivers of smart and sustainable business models in the energy sector. But what are the factors that companies struggle with most when developing and implementing new business models in practice? To answer this question, the results of a systematic literature review were evaluated by conducting semi-structured interviews with experts of the German energy sector. Six categories of transformation barriers were identified: Organizational, Financial, Legal, Partner-Network, Societal and Technological barriers. To overcome these barriers, recommendations for action and key success factors are outlined by the experts interviewed. The interview study validates key barriers and drivers in terms of their significance in practice in the German energy sector and makes recommendations to advance the smart and sustainable transformation of the energy sector.

“…At the micro level, often energy industries have developed energy management models (Koppenhoefer et al 2018;Lawrence et al 2019) as they have realized that energy management can enhance their production systems and operations to reduce energy costs (Schulze et al 2016).…”

In a very general but comprehensive definition, energy management defines as simultaneously efficient and effective use of energy to maximize profits while attempting to minimize costs to reinforce competitive positions (similar to the definition provided by Capehart et al. 2006). This broad definition covers numerous actions, operations, and even strategies from hardware design and supply to services. Energy management strategy is a set of action plans and practices for meeting long-term goals. Approaches in energy management strategy are concerned with planning, controlling, and monitoring energy-related processes to conserve energy resources, protect the climate, and save energy costs (Bilge et al. 2015). Strategies in the energy management sector aim at proposing solutions regarding the extraction, supply, consumption of energy resources as well as investment, research, and development of energy systems from the technical, economic, geopolitical, and political perspectives.
