The regulations a grid operator has to comply with strongly depend on the kind of grid operated; spot network, energy supply grid of general supply or simply a customer’s facility. We support companies when applying for identification of a spot network and when making court complaints against refusing decisions by the regulation authorities. We furthermore advise grid operators of the general supply which have to deal with already existing or newly to be founded spot networks in their grid area or want to operate object grids in their grid area themselves.

Our consultancy has an integrated approach with the goal of obtaining an optimum agreement between the individual laws (EnWG (energy industry act), EEG (renewable energies), KWKG (CHP), concession fee regulations, electricity tax, grid fee regulations, grid access regulations) for each case in order to take advantage of all possibilities. This applies to the EEG and CHP allocation when supplying end consumers in spot networks or the connection of an area or object grid to a higher grid level. This includes the commercial feed-in from a renewables facility into a connected grid for general supply.

Through our consultancy for politics and the co-operation with professional associations as well as in numerous publications and lectures in this area, we are in close contact with important decison-makers in politics, the ministries and the regulation authorities. Among our clients are municipal energy utilities, industrial companies, operators of industrial parks, airports and shopping malls, companies of the housing industry and contracting companies.

Contact partners in this area are Dr. Martin Riedel (Berlin) and Ulf Jacobshagen (Berlin).
