Notification of information in accordance with § 17 No. 1 and § 18 StromPBG

If you apply the option pursuant to Section 17 No. 1 StromPBG (result from hedging transactions concluded before 01.11.2022) or the option pursuant to Section 18 StromPBG (surplus revenue from plant-related marketing), an Excel file with additional information must be uploaded to the TSO portals for each levy period in addition to the monthly reference calculation tools for calculating and reporting the surplus revenue pursuant to Section 16 StromPBG. This additional Excel file also establishes the link between the monthly information regarding the electricity generation facilities and the documents or evidence to be uploaded in accordance with Section 29 StromPBG. If you do not exercise any of the aforementioned options, this additional Excel file is not relevant for you.

For the notification of hedging transactions reported in accordance with Annex 4 StromPBG, the Federal Network Agency provides a supplementary data collection form in which aggregated information on the hedging transactions and their fair value results must be provided. If the surplus revenue is corrected by the result of hedging transactions in accordance with Section 17 No. 1, the use of this data entry form is required for the proper submission of the assumptions and supporting documents for the calculation of the surplus revenue in accordance with Section 29 (1) No. 4 StromPBG.

The survey form is available at: www.bnetza.de/StrompreisbremseEHB
