Integration of requirements as per Article 74 EEG 2014 into the EEG Internet portal

The EEG Internet portal enables all the participating business partners (distribution system operators and EltVUs) to report, in a structured and electronic form, the extensive information required by the transmission grid operators in order to implement the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) so that this information can then be processed securely and efficiently by the transmission grid operators. The 2014 amendment to the EEG requires, in Article 74, that the transmission grid operators provide a standardized, fully automated interface to enable EltVUs to fulfill their legal reporting duties. To achieve this, the four German transmission grid operators provide a joint web service. All information reported using this new web service has to be synchronized with the information in the EEG Internet portal.
