Note on corrections to annual statement EEG levy

Note on processing corrections for billing years 2022 and earlier for EEG final consumption quantities

Automatically translated with deepl.com.

The TSOs intend to make corrections to the EEG surcharge for the performance years 2022 and earlier once a year from 2023. The processes and framework conditions established to date will continue to be applied.

Key processing steps:

1) The reporting and, if applicable, testing deadline is May 31 for the settlement of the previous calendar year (example: corrections that became known in the 2023 calendar year must be reported by May 31, 2024).

2) Delta quantities relevant to billing from +/- 2,000,000 kWh per EEG performance year are subject to auditing * As soon as a correction triggers the auditing obligation, any remaining delta quantities from other EEG performance years must also be audited in the annual report.

Example: the following corrections (delta quantities) take place in connection with the 2023 annual statement as subsequent corrections to the 2022 and 2021 performance years and, if applicable, before:

* If electricity volumes under the special equalization scheme are reported for the first time as part of a supplement, testing is mandatory if the electricity volumes are actually billed on a privileged basis. In the case of electricity cost-intensive companies, this is generally the case from an electricity volume of more than 1 GWh of self-consumption.

3) The TSOs prepare the statement of corrections by 31.7. with a payment deadline of 15.9.
