In this survey, the total grid charges of almost 800 large companies were analyzed. The focus was on <strong>Special contract customers<\/strong> with continuous power measurement using RLM meters. The results revealed a significant increase in electricity grid charges, which companies paid on average by up to <strong>27 percent<\/strong> burdened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regional differences and rising electricity grid fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In detail, it can be seen that the average electricity grid charges in the medium-voltage range are almost 7 cents per kilowatt hour, while in the low-voltage range they are over 11 cents per kilowatt hour. The prices in the <strong>Medium voltage<\/strong> have increased by an average of <strong>1.47 cents<\/strong> per kilowatt hour. In the <strong>Low voltage <\/strong>is an increase of <strong>2.02 cents<\/strong> per kilowatt hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly alarming aspect of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vea.de\/newsroom\/pressemitteilungen\/pressemitteilung\/netznutzungsentgeltvergleich-2024-grosse-preisdifferenzen-liegen-zwischen-den-einzelnen-netzbetreibern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Investigation<\/a> are the enormous <strong>Price differences<\/strong> between the individual <strong>regional network operators<\/strong>. Between the cheapest and most expensive providers, price differences of up to <strong>300 percent<\/strong> exist. This shows that the cost of using the electricity grid can vary considerably depending on the region and provider. These large price differences raise questions about fairness and transparency in pricing. The discussion about a <strong>fairer distribution<\/strong> the costs and a <strong>Uniform nationwide regulation<\/strong> increasingly important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of the increase in electricity grid fees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The electricity grids are operated by the <strong>increasing electricity demand in industry<\/strong> and due to the increasing spread of <strong>Electric vehicles<\/strong> and <strong>Heat pumps<\/strong> immer weiter strapaziert. &nbsp;Zeitgleich steigt der Anteil regionaler <strong>volatile energy generation<\/strong>. Together, these two factors are placing such a strain on the entire public electricity grid that the predicted and as yet unrealized <strong>Grid expansion<\/strong> by the grid operators is becoming increasingly urgent. This task is to be financed by the grid fees. In fact, the slow expansion of the grid has so far also been co-financed by subsidies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further dramatic increases expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the ruling by the Constitutional Court in November 2023 and the subsequent decisions on the 2024 federal budget, grid fees in Germany will continue to rise. <strong>increase significantly<\/strong>. The latest VEA survey confirms the <a href=\"https:\/\/cubeconcepts.de\/en\/uenb-grid-fees-to-double-in-2024\/\">Forecasts<\/a>which experts were already predicting in December 2023. At that time, it was already stated that the removal of subsidies of \u20ac5.5 billion from the economic stabilization fund for transmission system operators (TSOs) would reduce the cumulative grid fees in 2024 by <strong>estimated 60 % increase to 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electricity grid charges in Germany have risen rapidly within a year. They place a considerable burden on companies and show regional differences of up to 300 percent. This is due to the growing demand for electricity, the spread of electric vehicles and the expansion of renewable energies. The removal of subsidies for transmission system operators is expected to lead to a further increase of up to 60 percent in 2024. This development underlines the urgency of a fair and transparent reform of energy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising electricity demand and the necessary grid expansion are driving grid fees in Germany to a new record high.
