Aluminum smelters, cement factories or warehouses to receive compensation in the future if they reduce their demand for electricity at peak times or even completely from the mains go. A corresponding regulation was adopted by the Federal Cabinet on Wednesday. In the Bundestag is to vote on Thursday.
A more flexible electricity demand is increasingly important because the network must absorb increasing amounts of green electricity. Is about very much or little wind or solar power fed into the grid, it can cause power outages. So that this doesn't happen, it makes sense to control the demand according to the offer. Now, electricity network operators take conventional power plants by the network at certain times to compensate for fluctuations. So far, you could do this only in case of emergency with companies.sas_pageid='32375\/222800';sas_formatid=13557;sas_target='';sasmobile(sas_pageid,sas_formatid,sas_target);.
For bulk consumers, the new flexibility is a good deal. A company perceives the offer and its production promises the network operators upon request to spontaneously, it receives about 20,000 euro per year for each megawatt that it theoretically do without. The operator actually asks companies per megawatt-hour gets up to 500 euro in addition.
The scheme is interesting especially for companies that consume a lot of power and flexibility to produce. About cold or aluminium smelters as TriMet from Gelsenkirchen are typical candidates. In the summer the company on a cut-out regulation had urged. ..At the same time, the new bonus could cause that creates a new market for energy services. Now, discover a business idea first companies and advise companies how they will benefit particularly from current gaps. Entelios from Munich about helps the Paulaner brewery is to flexibilize their electricity demand.
The price of electricity rises.
Two years, the Federal Government has argued on the regulation. The original design of the Federal Ministry of economics provided for much higher compensation rates for the megawatt-hour, up to 60,000 euros were in conversation. This number has been reduced now to pressure the Ministry of environment.
The switch-off bonus is reflected at the end as a cost on the electricity bill of private households. According to when time is ONLINE, an average household will have to pay therefore every year one or two euros more. The Government expects maximum four euros. A stability gain for the networks is the, the Ministry of Economic Affairs argued.
In the coming weeks, but further allocations will increase electricity prices. In addition to the shut-off bonus, the Federal Government wants to introduce a levy for offshore wind farms that households could cost up to nine euros a year. The eco-electricity levy will increase the electricity bill to an estimated 60 euros in the coming year. De facto, also increasing exemptions for energy-intensive companies in the network charges are paid by retail customers - the height is however difficult to quantify.Article recommend: [privacy policy] [close] selecting a social media buttons send also data on the networks, when you interact with the plugins, but are logged with the respective provider.
