Grid Charges

Publication of an indicated modification of grid charges as per § 20.1 EnWG

In accordance with § 4 ARegV (incentive regulation decree) the revenue cap for Amprion GmbH will be adjusted on January 1, 2025. This modification of our revenue cap leads to a recalculation of our grid charges. According to § 20.1 EnWG (Energy Industry Act), grid charges have to be published by October 15th of each year for the following year. In case this is not yet finally possible, provisional fees based on the relevant revenue cap for the following year are to be published (indication).

Amprion expressly points out that the grid charges are not yet binding and subject to potential adjustments by the end of the year. Such adjustments may take both the form of an increase and of a reduction of the grid charges valid from 1 January 2025.

It should be noted that any additional costs pursuant to the KWK (Combined Heat and Power Legislation), value added tax, § 19 StromNEV-levy and concession fees, if applicable, as well as other levies (i. e. offshore grid levy) are not included in the indication of the grid charges.

Gradual harmonization of TSO grid charges

In accordance with § 32a StromNEV, the transmission grid charges are gradually being harmonized since the beginning of 2019. The (provisional) grid charges are fully harmonized.

Publication of grid charges as per § 20.1 EnWG

Due to § 6 ARegV (regulation on incentive regulation) a new revenue cap for Amprion GmbH will be determined. The new revenue cap will be valid during the fourth regulation period, starting on January 1st 2024, which will consequently lead to a recalculation of the grid charges.

The final grid charges for 2024 - in contrast to 2023 - were determined without taking into account a subsidy to cover the transmission network costs.

It should be noted that any additional costs pursuant to the KWK (Combined Heat and Power Legislation), value added tax, § 19 StromNEV-levy, offshore grid levy and concession fees, if applicable, as well as other levies are not included in the grid charges.
