studies we analysed are mainly conducted by research institutes and thus public funding. This
review does not show whether MCDA-methods reached the energy supplying companies
already. Moreover, there is a lack of ex post-evaluation giving an idea whether the MCDAprocess
was successful and indicating what could be learned for further applications.
In order to learn about the status quo of energy applications in companies but also in politics
further research is necessary. At this stage interviews with the business managers are under
preparation.
