Concession contracts concerning electricity, gas and water supply and licence agreements (e.g. concerning district heat supply) play a prominent role within the energy supply of urban areas in Germany.
After the expiry of a concession contract, municipalities increasingly decide either to provide electricity, gas or district heat supply by themselves or to mandate a different energy supplier with the up-following concession agreement.
