Potentially realistic string models often contain additional abelian gauge factors besides the standard model group. The consequences of such extended gauge structure are manifold both for theory and phenomenology as I show focussing in the simplest case of just one additional non-anomalous U(1)'. First, I discuss the possible symmetry breaking patterns according to the scale at which the U(1)' symmetry gets broken: in the first case, that scale must be below ~ 1 TeV to avoid fine-tuning; in the second case, the breaking can take place along a flat direction at an intermediate scale between the string scale and the electroweak scale. In both cases, I present a number of the generic implications expected, e.g. for the mu problem, Z' and Higgs physics, dark matter and fermion masses.
