Abstract
This thesis aims at identifying the institutional conditions – the ‘rules of the game’ – that are outdated and require adjustments for implementing a smart electricity grid. Firstly, a positioning of this objective takes place to make sense of the complex situation and to formulate research questions. Secondly, an understanding of the objective takes place in the theoretical framework. Transition theory is used as a basis to form a conceptual model which is used as a tool for further research. Results show that the most important institutional barriers that require adjustments are the slow grid improvement process that is a result of protective rights, the unavailability of curtailment as an instrument and the fact that there is no incentive for end users to change their behaviour.
