Notify individual grid fee agreements, change details and terminate the notification under federal responsibility
Service Description
If you as a company or private individual use electricity at times
- when otherwise little electricity is consumed or
- if you consume a particularly large amount of electricity,
you can agree an individual grid fee with your electricity grid operator. You must report this individual agreement to Ruling Chamber 4.
If the connection situation or the calculation methodology has changed, you must terminate the originally reported agreement and also notify Ruling Chamber 4 of this.
Please also inform Ruling Chamber 4 if there are any changes to an existing grid fee agreement and the contracting parties, such as your company name or your address or the address of the electricity consumption point.
Changes to the previous display data, for example in the event of a change of electricity supplier, a choice option and other changes, must also be reported to Ruling Chamber 4.
Atypical grid usage is when you use electricity at unusual times. This means that the maximum of your electricity consumption per year - the so-called individual annual peak load - is outside the time when a lot of electricity is consumed in your grid area.
In this case, you can agree an individual grid fee with the electricity grid operator, which includes a discount of up to 80 percent of the general grid fee.
Electricity-intensive grid use is when you consume a particularly large amount of electricity. This is the case if
- You consume at least 7,000 hours of electricity per year. The number of hours of use is a calculated value resulting from your annual consumption divided by the maximum output.
- Your consumption exceeds 10 gigawatt hours.
In this case, you can agree an individual grid fee with the electricity grid operator in the amount of
- 20 percent of the regular grid fee for at least 7,000 hours of use per year,
- 15 percent of the regular grid fee for at least 7,500 hours of use per year,
- 10 percent of the regular grid fee for at least 8,000 hours of use per year.
