SPOILER ALERT!
German renewables levy to reduce 6% on higher costs, dropping expenses
German customers will certainly pay 5.9% much less next year for renewable power aids despite outcome from green power resources approximated to climb 6.3% to 217 TWh, the nation's 4 grid drivers claimed Monday.
The EEG-Umlage renewable resource surcharge for 2019 will certainly be Eur64.05/ MWh ($80.17/ MWh), down from Eur67.92/ MWh this year, with consumers needing to fund over Eur25 billion a year.
Climbing wholesale power rates and also dropping prices for brand-new projects were the essential factors for the decline of the levy for 2019, the grid regulator who has to verify the TSOs estimates claimed in a separate statement.
The levy is now back at 2014 degrees despite renewables outcome being 50% higher, regulatory authority BnetzA stated.
The levy tripled in between 2010 and also 2014, motivating the government to change the means renewables are subsidized with a relocation away from feed-in-tariffs to competitive auctions for most tasks.
For 2019, transmission system drivers estimate just under 6 GW of brand-new renewable capacity will certainly be down from an 8-GW projection for 2018 last October with onshore wind development, in particular collection to stop due to the move to auctions.
The levy is based on quotes by Germany's 4 TSOs of the deficiency between feed-in tolls paid to renewable power manufacturers and also the accomplished list prices on the spot power exchange with numerous other variables, varying from rate of interest to reserve margins also requiring to be factored in.
The TSOs approximate that in 2019 the general cost to be paid to operators of renewable resource setups will be Eur33.1 billion balanced out by Eur7.8 billion approximated profits from the sale of the renewables of the place exchange.
Under irochemical , the gap between this needs to be borne by all end-consumers through the EEG-Umlage, with just one of the most energy-intensive commercial customers excluded from the surcharge.
The existing surplus of Eur3.7 billion in the EEG account for the previous 12 months likewise assisted to keep following year's levy down.
