About Daniel Hult Granström
My research interests mainly concerns regulatory issues and energy markets, especially from a private law perspective. Regulation as a research field is concerned with the effects of law on and in society and is, therefore, inter-disciplinary to its character. I am primarily interested in legislation from an instrumental perspective, i.e. legislation viewed as a regulatory tool to steer society and its actors. This perspective is used to study legislation both in its own right and in relation to other kinds of regulatory tools, e.g. self-regulation.
In my doctoral thesis, I analyze the possibility of using legislation to create trust. More particular, I analyze the Swedish regulation of the contractual relation between district heating companies and their customers with the purpose of evaluating if the regulation can be deemed to increase trust between the contracting parties.
As of now, I am engage in a research project on energy sharing and energy communities. (https://energi.stuns.se/morgongava-foretagspark/)
