The four transmission system operators (TSOs) 50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT and TransnetBW have published the new Electricity price components 2025<\/strong> and levies under the EEG and other levies. These are intended to finance the ongoing expansion of renewable energies and the modernization of the energy infrastructure. The EEG financing requirements forecast for 2025, the amount of the KWKG levy, the offshore grid levy and the surcharge for special grid usage were announced by the TSOs on 25 October 2024. These will flow into the New regulation for the distribution of grid costs<\/a> and in electricity prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EEG financing requirement & deduction amount for 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The TSOs have estimated the EEG financing requirements for 2025 at 17.03 billion euros<\/strong> has been set. This does not yet include the EEG account balance, which is forecast to be around \u20ac0.5 billion as at December 31, 2024. The total amount will be used to promote renewable energies in Germany in order to ensure a climate-friendly and independent energy supply in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EEG subsidy supports the expansion of renewable energies by offering suppliers Fixed remuneration prices<\/strong> which are settled via the EEG account. Operators of plants such as wind power or solar energy receive a fixed remuneration per kilowatt hour fed into the grid. The TSOs sell this electricity on the exchange, whereby the proceeds are usually lower than the remuneration paid. The difference is made up by subsidies. From 2025, this subsidy will be financed from the federal budget, meaning that consumers will be indirectly involved through taxpayers' money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deduction amount<\/strong> in accordance with Section 53 (4) EEG for subsidized plants was set for 2025 at 0.715 ct\/kWh<\/strong> has been set. This reduced rate enables certain plant operators who have already fallen out of the EEG subsidy to consume their self-generated energy at a lower cost. The regulation relieves the burden on operators who cover their electricity supply independently and with renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
