Financial Balance

The table below illustrates the financial balance of the TransnetBW balancing area on a monthly basis that results from the electricity system balancing process.

The listed values (in €) represent the following items:

• costs for the procurement of balancing energy for the TransnetBW balancing area
• revenues according to the corresponding imbalance settlement
• revenue surplus used for the reduction of grid charges
• settlement of the delta account

The revenue surplus was introduced on December, 1st 2012 according to the decision of the Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railway (Bundesnetzagentur) BK6-12-024 PDF/71KB/DE. The method is described in detail in the document „Modell zur Berechnung des reBAP ab 01.12. 2012“ PDF/53KB/DE.

The delta account consists of corrections referring to past service months and resulting e.g. from belated claims of balancing energy suppliers that have not been known at the time of the reBAP publication.

The accounting balance results from the difference between the revenues according to the imbalance settlement and the costs for the procurement of balancing energy less the revenue surplus and plus the effects of the settlement of the delta account.

The table will be extended every month with a time lag of three months.

The figures do not include the costs for balancing reserves, since they are part of the grid charges.
