interruptible loads
Levy for interruptible loads according to §18 AbLaV
If provider of interruptible loads have committed themselves with the operators of transmission networks in agreements for services, which fulfill the requirements of the regulation, they obtained compensation for providing the interruptible capacity for the agreed period (capacity price) and for each request of interruptible capacity (energy price). The transmission system operators were obliged to settle their payments and expenses under this regulation on a financial settlement. The resulting costs were refinanced via the AbLaV levy in accordance with Section 18 AbLaV, which was applied to the whole end-consumption.
Pursuant to Section 20 (2) AbLaV, most of the ordinance expired on July 1, 2022 and all of it on 31 December 2023. Since 2023, no more AbLaV levy will be charged. The amount carried forward from the annual accounts for 2021 and the short year 2022 will be used to reduce the grid charges at the transmission system operators in accordance with the provisions of the ARegV as agreed with the Federal Network Agency.
