Part of the book series: Progress in IS ((PROIS))

Abstract

Decentralized energy systems are characterized by an ad hoc planing. The missing integration of energy objectives into business strategy creates difficulties resulting in inefficient energy architectures and decisions. Practice-proven methods such as Balanced Scorecard, Enterprise Architecture Management and Value Network approach supports the transformation path towards an effective decentralized system. The methods are evaluated based on a case study. Managing multi-dimensionality, high complexity and multiple actors are the main drivers for an effective and efficient energy management system. The underlying basis to gain the positive impacts of these methods on decentralized corporate energy systems is digitization of energy data and processes.
