Abstract
This thesis elaborates the question whether or not the newly introduced ‚Marktprämienmodell’ represents a big enough incentive for operators of biogas plants in Germany to switch from base-load electricity production towards a flexible production pattern, in order to integrate more electricity of intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid. To answer this question, the report will provide the reader with the necessary background knowledge, explain the main underlying terms and concepts and perform calculations on the expected revenues through the ‘Marktprämienmodell’ as well as the necessary investments for the participation. Furthermore, it includes the results of an experts’ discussion on the topic and offers a possible outlook on the future of the production pattern of biogas plants in Germany.
