Grid Charges

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. In accordance with § 4 ARegV the revenue cap for Amprion GmbH will be adjusted on January 1st 2025, which will consequently lead to a recalculation of the grid charges.

If new legal regulations provide for a subsidy for grid charges in 2025, the transmission system operators will adjust the grid charges.

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