Different types of network usage
In light of the current grid fee regulation, the legislature allows a reduction in the costs of network usage, in case the customer supports the network through it’s cautious or lightening conduct.
Namely, the following:
- Atypical grid usage: here the consumption conduct of the user is atypical to the strain of the network
- High continuous load: you consume at a location 10+ GWh yearly, and show a high continuous load (7000+ hours of full load)
Atypical network usage
End consumer, that show a special – further specified in the grid fee regulation (§ 19 Abs. 2 StromNEV) – purchase behaviour, are entitled to have a customized grid fee. Agreements arrived at based on the above are to be authorized by the regulatory body (BNetzA). Agreement on a customized fee is bound by the restriction, that the current prerequisites of the § 19 Abs. 2 StromNEV be properly fulfilled. If this is not the case, the invoicing of the grid fee follows the amounts published in the actual price sheet.
| Initial Situation |
A customer with a consumption peak of 700 kW in summer. The peak load window of the network operator falls in wintertime to between 17:00-18:00. In this period the peak consumption of the customer is at 500 kW. |
| Application |
The invoice-relevant annual peak load is defined based on the period of the peak load window. The peak load time window is exemplary between 17:00-18:00 pm in winter. In this period our customer decreases it’s demands by a load management measure by 200 kW from it’s normal consumption. The now invoice-relevant annual peak consumption falls to 500 kW – 200 kW = 300 kW. |
| Old calculation: |
fees of the network operator: 70,00 Euro / kW. 700 kW x 70,00 Euro pro kW = 49.000 Euro |
| New calculation: |
fees of the network operator: 70,00 Euro / kW. 300 kW x 70,00 Euro pro kW = 21.000 Euro |
| Savings | 49.000 Euro – 21.000 Euro = 28.000 Euro per year. |
In co-operation with our partners, we provide you an analysis & assessment of your network utilization at all sites and take care of all procedures concerning the network operators and the Federal Network Agency (BNETZA). In addition to this, combined with our smart metering, you also have constant access to your energy data and can compare how your network load behaves inside and outside of the peak load window.

High continuous load (10+ GWh yearly / 7000+ hours of full load)
End consumers, that show a special – further specified in the grid fee regulation (§ 19 Abs. 2 StromNEV) – purchase behaviour, are entitled to have a customized grid fee. Agreements arrived at based on the above are to be authorized by the regulatory body (BNetzA). Agreement on a customized fee is bound by the restriction, that the current prerequisites of the § 19 Abs. 2 StromNEV be properly fulfilled. If this is not the case, the invoicing of the grid fee follows the amounts published in the actual price sheet.
| Initial situation |
A customer with an annual peak consumption at 2000 kW and a yearly net consumption of 14.860 Mwh (7430 hours of full load). |
| Application |
according to the grid fee regulation (StromNEV) network fees can be reduced here to 80% of the common network fees. |
| Old calculation |
Service fees of the network operator: 70,00 Euro / kW. 2.000 kW x 70,00 Euro pro kW = 140.000 Euro. working fees of the network operator: 1,03 Eurocent / kWh or 10,30 Euro / MWh. 14.860 MWh x 10,30 Euro pro MWh = 153.058,00 Euro. Working fees and services fees total: 293.000 Euro |
| New calculation |
service fees of the network operator: 70,00 Euro / kW. 293.000 Euro x 0,20 = 58.600 Euro (maximum load). |
| Savings | 293.000 Euro – 58.600 = 234.000 Euro per year. |

Interruptible Consumer-facility
Interruptible Consuming-facilities without assessment can be shut down during load peaks by the grid operator. In the offensive the customer gains a exoneration of the grid costs up to 80 percent.
Currently this procedure is mainly used for night storage heating. The coverage can be expanded on further electric loads and storages.
| Initial situation |
Customer with a switchable load in low voltage. Yearly consumption of the switchable load is 12.000 kWh. |
| Application |
Extension of the switchable load to a setup of interruptible consumption through a firm metering |
| Old calculation |
working fee of the network operator: 6,43 Eurocent / kWh or 0,0643 Euro / kWh 12.000 kWh x 0,0643 Euro per kWh = 771,60 Euro |
| New calculation |
working fee of the network operator will be reduced to 80%: 0,0643 Euro / kWh x 0,20 = 0,01286 Euro / kWh 12.000 kWh x 0,01286 Euro pro kWh = 154,32 Euro |
| Savings | 771,60 Euro - 152,32 Euro = 617,28 Euro p.a. |

Betreiber von Elektrizitätsverteilernetzen haben denjenigen Lieferanten und Letztverbrauchern im Bereich der Niederspannung, mit denen sie Netznutzungsverträge abgeschlossen haben, ein reduziertes Netzentgelt zu berechnen, wenn ihnen im Gegenzug die Steuerung von vollständig unterbrechbaren Verbrauchseinrichtungen, die über einen separaten Zählpunkt verfügen, zum Zweck der Netzentlastung gestattet wird. Als unterbrechbare Verbrauchseinrichtung im Sinne von Satz 1 gelten auch Elektromobile. Die Steuerung muss für die in Satz 1 genannten Letztverbraucher und Lieferanten zumutbar sein und kann direkt durch den Netzbetreiber oder indirekt durch Dritte auf Geheiß des Netzbetreibers erfolgen; Näheres regelt eine Rechtsverordnung nach § 21i Absatz 1 Nummer 9.

Singular Facilities
The fees of singularly operated facilities, according to § 19 Abs. 3 StromNEV will be determined individually at each location. The condition for this is that, in case of many facilities that share the same grid or transformer level, the customer has an exclusive right. ***
The amount of the fee is based on the individually attributable expenses, which, according to $ 4 StromNEV, are aligned with such parameters as for example the number of the facilities in order, the installed capacities and the lenght of conductor.
The amount of the fee is determined at each sampling location as the single price multiplied with the amount of the individual units. The current individual fees according to § 19 Abs. StromNEV per each sampling location, based on § 27 Abs. 1 StromNEV, are published on the website of the network operator.
