Manuelle GO-Ausstellung und Abrechnung Verzögerung (Pre-ETT)
Definition
GO issuing bodies (HKN, CEMA, etc.) processed GO requests manually via email/postal. Average turnaround: 10–20 business days from generation data submission to GO issuance certificate and settlement. Wind farms operate on weekly revenue cycles (~€500K–€2M/week). Each day of AR delay = €50K–€200K/day in lost opportunity cost (2% annual cost of capital = €3,650–€14,600/day). Over 20-day average delay: €73K–€292K per revenue cycle = €3.8M–€15.2M annual drag per large operator. ETT reduces this to <1 day, recovering €3.7M–€15M annually.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 7–21 day AR delay @ 2–3% annual cost of capital = €50K–€292K per revenue cycle per operator. Annualized: €3.7M–€15.2M for wind farm operators; across DACH region (~500–800 mid-size operators): €1.8B–€12B total market cash drag.
- Frequency: Every revenue cycle (weekly/monthly invoicing).
- Root Cause: Pre-ETT manual GO processing; lack of real-time issuance automation; siloed registries (HKN, CEMA, Stammdatenregister).
