Clearing Fees

The clearing fees that are to be paid by the balance responsible party to AGCS are fixed by E-Control GmbH. ¹

Depending on the amount and type of energy turnover in a balance group, each balance responsible party must pay a monthly clearing fee to AGCS.
The current fees are:

• For each chargeable unit of energy consumed ² in the balance area, EUR 0.0374 per MWh, and
• For each chargeable unit of energy traded ³ in the balance area, EUR 0.001 per MWh.

¹NOTICE: The current clearing fees result from the amendment to the Clearing Fee Decree that entered into force on 1. January 2011.
²The chargeable unit of energy consumed corresponds to the sum of the consumed metering units on the debit side of a balance group.

³The chargeable unit of energy traded is calculated based on the total energy expenditure ⁴ less the consumed volume in a balance group.

⁴The total energy expenditure of a balance group is the sum of the debit side (energy sold [selling schedules], consumption [consumed metering units] and supplied balancing energy) – this corresponds to the sum on the credit side (energy bought [buying schedules], feed-in [feed-in metering units] and received balancing energy).
