Grid Charges

CHARGES FOR THE AMPRION GMBH TRANSMISSION GRID USAGE SINCE 01.01.2023

The Amprion GmbH grid charges are based on a revenue cap (allowed revenues) which is determined for each network company in accordance with the incentive regulation act. In accordance with § 4 ARegV (incentive regulation decree) the revenue cap for Amprion GmbH will be adjusted on January 1, 2023. This modification of our revenue cap leads to a recalculation of our grid charges.

The grid charges for 2023 have been determined by taking into account a subsidy in accordance with the "Draft law to introduce an electricity price brake and to change other energy law provisions". The draft was approved by the Bundesrat on December 19th, 2022.

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 for 2023 are fully harmonized.
