Dynamische Netzentgelte - Implementierungsunsicherheit (2029+)

1 verified sources

Definition

Bundesnetzagentur proposed variable grid fees (set in 15-minute intervals based on available transmission capacity) with phase-in from 2029 at earliest, initially for large storage facilities. Search results confirm BNetzA plans stakeholder discussion Jan 2026 but final determination timeline unknown. TSOs must decide now: (1) invest in dynamic pricing IT systems, or (2) wait for final rules and risk late implementation. Current capex planning models assume static tariffs, creating forecast errors.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Estimated: €5-15 million per large TSO for dynamic pricing IT infrastructure (once decision is finalized); 30-50% efficiency loss if implementation delayed vs. early movers
  • Frequency: Strategic planning cycle impact (annual); operational impact (quarterly once implemented post-2029)
  • Root Cause: Regulatory ambiguity: BNetzA proposal lacks binding implementation date and technical specifications, forcing TSOs to make capex decisions under incomplete information

Steigende Redispatch-Kosten durch Netzengpässe

Estimated: €50-150 million annually across German transmission network (typical range for large European TSOs; exact figure not disclosed in regulatory documents as of Dec 2025)

Regulatorische Übergangsverluste durch NEST-Implementierung (2025-2029)

Estimated: €2-5 million per large TSO for NEST transition (2025-2029); €500K-1.5M per mid-sized TSO. Industry-wide: €15-30 million (estimated for all German network operators)

NIS2-Bußgelder und Betriebsunterbrechungen durch mangelnde Incident Response

LOGIC-estimated: €10,000–€50,000+ per incident (typical DACH regulatory penalties); Operational risk: Potential grid outages affecting 100,000+ households (revenue impact unquantified).

Manuelle Feasibility-Studien und hohe Bearbeitungskosten

Estimated €50-150K per feasibility study × ~6,000 non-approved annual requests = €300-900M annual waste; TSO administrative overhead estimated €100-250M/year; €15-40K per TSO employee per month in overtime during peak submission periods

Strafzahlungen für Nicht-Einhaltung der 24-Stunden-Lieferantenwechsel-Frist

Estimated €50,000–€200,000 annually per medium-sized supplier (based on typical penalty structures and volume of switches); 10–15 hours/month of manual verification labor

Regulatorische Mehrkosten durch fragmentierte Netzentgeltstruktur

Schätzung: 3–8% der jährlichen Netzentgelt-Verwaltungskosten (ca. €15–40 Mio. pro Großnetzbetreiber) durch regulatorischen Overhead und Rework.
