Do we pay regional electricity prices in Germany in the future? A current study by the transmission system operator comes to the conclusion that a new regulation of dialect areas can bring financial advantage. For the study The Association of European Transmission Network Operators, European Network of Transmission Systems Operators for Electricity (ENTO-E), analyzed the electricity markets of Central and Northern Europe and then evaluated 14 different configurations of the dialect areas. He proposes restructuring of one of the two areas.
A dialect area is an area in which buyers and sellers on the electricity market can work within an area to focus on power transport needs. The price of electricity is the same within the dialect area. These regions largely follow European national borders, with exceptions: for example, Germany and Luxembourg create a region. On the other hand, Sweden is divided into four such regions.
If electricity is high, wind turbines are still standing
The problem is: If too much air flows in northern Germany, wind feeds a lot of electricity in turbine networks. However, oversuply means that the pawan turbine that generates inexpensive electricity should be discontinued as the current cannot be removed. This is the case because the routes are missing for electricity transport, for example in southern federal states where large industrial consumers are based.
If the needs of industrial companies cannot be covered, power plants should be activated to the south that provide expensive power. Its effect is that the price of electricity across Germany increases. Hence Dero-E has proposed to divide the dialect area in Germany-Luxembourg. The Netherlands should also be reorganized. A division of Germany-Luxembourg in five bidding areas will bring the highest economic efficiency amid the configuration configuration. Here Deero-E sees a savings capacity of 339 million euros as compared to 2025. Other divisions bring less, but still reduce the cost of 251 million euros.
A division of the Netherlands will bring nine million euros. Alternative configurations in France and Italy, on the other hand, negatively impact economic efficiency. Therefore, Sweden should also maintain its current partition. All alternative configurations that illuminated the study were worse.
No panacea
Bid zone restructuring does not solve all problems, LIN Hirth said, who teaches Hurti School Berlin Energy Policy and is the managing director of Consulting firm Neon Neon Energy Economics in a briefing of Science Media Center. Without them, however, he considers energy infection difficult. As a result, large power plants will be held for a long time. Battery storage of renewable energy and expansion of regional producers are slowed down. In the same briefing, Carston Neuroff, the head of the Climate Policy Department, the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) said that he considers savings ability more than Deero-E.
On the other hand, criticism comes from the Federal Association of Energy and Water Management (BDEW) and the Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). In one Joint explanation Describe two owners Kerstin Andrea and Hildegard Muller (VDA) as “neither intelligent nor proportional” to a partition of the German power market. The idea of ​​a partition of the German power value area may not “refuse economically”. The savings are low and only in short -term.
“Conversely, a partition of the German power market in many value areas will lead to massive uncertainty for the industry and will also significantly cloudy investment climate for renewable energy,” Andrea and Muller wrote and to emphasize to emphasize “uniform power zone” from the federal government and from the federal government.
