Compensation entitlement pursuant to KWKG
Pursuant to Section 1 of the KWKG. the aim of this law is to contribute to reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions. To achieve this goal, combined heat and power systems (CHP systems) will be modernised and protected temporarily, the electricity generation through small CHP systems will be developed and fuel cells will be launched so as to save energy.
Compensation and system fees pursuant to the German CHP legislation (Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsgesetz - KWKG)
Compensation for systems subject to the KWKG is paid based on the system output and year of commissioning. The construction of new and modernisation of existing CHP systems have been supported since 2009, including systems over 2 MW. In both cases, however, the CHP system must be highly efficient within the meaning of EU CHP Directive 2004/8/EC.
Feed-in agreement
The feed-in agreement is concluded between you, the producer, and Stromnetz Berlin GmbH, the distribution system operator. It forms the basis for feeding the energy generated by your system into the distribution network and regulates the feed-in tariff. Before being able to conclude a feed-in agreement, you must install your generating unit and we, the distribution system operator, must approve it.
The contractual agreement comprises the following components:
- Feed-in agreement pursuant to KWKG (PDF 3 MB)
- Kundeninformation KWK-Einspeisung (für Anlagen bis 99 kW ohne Direktvermarktung) (PDF 714 kB)
- Customer information CHP feed-in (facilities up to 99 kW without direct marketing) (PDF 714 kB)
