Integrating additional allocations in an existing settlement system

Pursuant to §19(2) Strom NEV [German Regulation on Power Grid Access Charges] German transmission providers have been required since 2012 to compensate transmission providers for lost profits in their control zone caused due to reduced transmission fees offered under statute for transmission customers with atypical consumption characteristics. In accordance with the §19(2) allocation, the resulting costs are allocated equally to all transmission providers depending on the power provided to transmission consumers. Since this allocation mechanism is largely equivalent to the allocation mechanism used in the allocation under the German Act on Coupling of Heat and Power [KWKG] that has existed since 2002, the settlement processes can be mapped comparatively straightforwardly in the same settlement system. This applies equally to the allocation charged from 2014 in respect of costs for interruptible loads.
