%X The energy transition and electrification of currently conventional energy sectors in Germany lead to a higher demand for electricity which has to be generated renewably and distributed in the most efficient way to fulfil the emission targets of the EU and Germany for slowing down the climate change. To analyze the challenges which come along with the energy transition, it is important to identify and analyze the causes and effects which have led to such a fundamental change. While small, decentralized generation units are one of the most obvious changes of this transition. The private prosumer, as a new actor on the energy market combining small-scale electricity generation and private consumption, is analyzed from an economic perspective. In a next step, the model of prosumers is evolved to become an energy community participating in energy markets. Therefore, economic analysis is at the center of investigation. The findings of this dissertation allow private prosumers to see the economic impact of their investment; Energy communities to identify and assess their own risk; Regulators and political decision makers to derive decisions to support Germany’s energy transition.
