introduction of standardised national transmission system fees

In 2020, the second step in the introduction of nationwide network fees will take place on the basis of the Network Fee Modernisation Act (NEMoG), which came into force in July 2017. It provides for a gradual standardisation of transmission system fees over five years from 2019, so that the fees will be completely standardised from 2023.

In 2020, the nationwide share of network fees will be calculated from 40 percent of the respective cost base (revenue ceiling) of the transmission system operators. From the remaining 60 percent, the individual company system fees of the transmission grid operators are determined.
