Notify individual grid fee agreements, change details and terminate the notification under federal responsibility

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

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 amounting to

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.

You can report an individual grid fee agreement to Ruling Chamber 4 online, by post or by fax.

Important: Your notification must be signed. It must be received by Ruling Chamber 4 by post or alternatively scanned, by email, by fax or via the online form by September 30 at the latest. For example, a notification for the year 2024 must be received by 30.09.2024 at the latest.
