Under Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG), you currently have the option to choose between three different modules that allow you to benefit from reduced grid charges:
Module 1: Flat-rate reduction of the grid charge
This is the standard module. Your grid charge is reduced by a flat-rate amount (which varies depending on the grid operator), while all other charges remain the same. No separate meter is required for your heat pump with this module.
Module 2: Percentage reduction of the grid charge
You must actively choose this module. The basic grid charge is reduced to €0, and the working price component of your grid charge is reduced by 60%. A prerequisite for this module is a separate meter.
Module 3: Module 3 can be selected as an add-on to Module 1. In addition to the flat-rate reduction from Module 1, a time-variable charge is applied within a day (peak tariff, off-peak tariff, standard tariff).
Existing installations: If your heat pump was commissioned before 01/01/2024, the basic grid charge will be reduced to €0 and the working price component of your grid charge will be reduced. The exact amount depends on the local distribution system operator. A separate meter is required.
Our tariff calculator will help you decide which module is suitable for you (LINK).
