Rising grid fees are becoming a significant burden for energy-intensive companies. However, regulations such as Section 19 (2) StromNEV offer a powerful opportunity to reduce these costs by up to 40%. The key lies in "Atypical Grid Usage"—and the intelligent automation provided by Eniris SmartgridOne.
For many industrial players, the electricity bill is determined not just by how much energy is consumed, but when it is consumed. By shifting your peak loads away from the grid’s most congested hours, you can qualify for significantly reduced individual grid fees.
Here is how Eniris helps you navigate this complex landscape using SmartgridOne.
Grid operators are under immense pressure during specific "high-load time windows" (typically winter evenings). To encourage stability, they offer financial incentives to companies that behave "atypically"—meaning, companies that ensure their maximum power load occurs outside these peak windows.
It is a form of regulatory peak shaving: if you relieve the grid when it needs it most, you pay less.
A common misconception is that the grid operator sends a physical "trigger" or signal down the power line to tell you to switch off. This is not the case.
The "signal" is administrative. Grid operators publish their high-load time windows annually (usually by October 31st for the following year). These are static data sets defining specific hours (e.g., weekdays between 16:30 and 19:30) where your consumption must be minimized.
Managing this manually is risky. Missing a window or miscalculating your load by even a few minutes can void your eligibility for the reduced rate, costing you thousands of euros.
This is where SmartgridOne, the Energy Management System (EMS) by Eniris, becomes your most valuable asset. SmartgridOne automates the entire process of atypical grid usage, acting as the bridge between regulatory data and your physical machinery.
SmartgridOne ingests the published peak load calendars from the grid operators. It doesn't wait for a signal; it anticipates the window.
To successfully claim reduced fees, you need precise measurement and control. SmartgridOne integrates physically with your site via:
Asset Control: When a high-load window approaches, SmartgridOne sends signals via Modbus, PLC, or API to your assets to initiate Peak Shaving.
