Grid Fees in Transition

Niklas Jooß Christoph Müller Andreas Weiß

Abstrak

The reform of §14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG) opens up the possibility for customers to choose variable grid fees for the first time. This legal adjustment enables distribution grid operators to design more flexible grid fees and to incentivise a potentially more efficient load management in the low-voltage grid. This paper includes a comprehensive analysis of the current design of variable grid fees and their congestion-relieving effect in the low-voltage grid. Particular attention is paid to the potential further development of grid charges towards a real-time pricing model that allows dynamic load control on the basis of real time grid utilisation. The results show that variable grid fee models can have impact on the stability and efficiency in the low-voltage distribution grid - both positive and negative. This work provides insights into the recent and possible future design of grid fees and their potential role in the energy transition.
