At the turn of the year: The offshore grid allocation is rising!

In contrast to the EEG levy, the offshore levy will increase for the year 2019 according to §17f (5) EnWG. It will be 0. 416 cents per kilowatt hour in the coming year, whereas 0. 037 cents per kilowatt hour were calculated for 2018. The background to this is that the previous offshore liability levy only covered the costs of compensation in the event of disruptions or delays to offshore grid connections. From 2019 onwards, on the basis of the grid money modernization law, valid since July 2017, the costs for the connection of offshore wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea will be added to the then valid offshore grid allocation.
