introduction of standardised national transmission system fees

In 2019, the network fees of the four German transmission system operators 50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT and TransnetBW will incorporate a standardised national network fee share for the first time. It will be calculated from 20 percent of the relevant cost basis (revenue ceiling) of the transmission system operator, while the company-specific network fee of the transmission system operator is determined from the remaining 80 percent.

It is based on the Network Fee Modernisation Act (NEMoG), which entered into force in July 2017, and the Regulation on Gradual Introduction of Standardised National Transmission System Fees of 25 April 2018. NEMoG stipulates gradual standardisation of the transmission system fees starting in 2019. This will increase the share of standardised components by 20% annually, while the company-specific share will decrease accordingly. The network fees will be completely standardised as of 2023.
