Doppelzählung von Grünstrom-Attributen und Subventionsbetrug
Definition
Search result [2] reveals systemic evidence: Germany claimed 185 TWh of GO certificates in 2023 but only 37 TWh were issued domestically—a 148 TWh gap (80% deficit). About 75% of claimed GOs originate from Norway, far exceeding physical grid import capacity. Current annual GOs lack timestamps; suppliers can claim 'green electricity' consumed in November matched to hydro generated 2,000 km north in January. Betriebsprüfung audits detect these temporal/spatial mismatches as false claims for Strompreiskompensation subsidies (§64 EEG). Result: subsidy clawback (100% of false claims) + penalty up to 10% of claimed amount.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated €15,000–€150,000 per mid-size operator (50–500 MW wind farm) annually in subsidy clawback + audit fines. At 1,000+ wind operators in Germany, total market exposure: €15M–€150M annual loss.
- Frequency: Annual audit cycle; detected in Betriebsprüfung (3–5 year intervals per operator).
- Root Cause: Manual GO tracking without hourly timestamps; 'book & claim' system permits retroactive matching; lack of geographic/temporal granularity.
