Managing self-supply plants and recording self-supply via 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 means that electricity consumed by the producer from its own electricity-generating plants is also subject to EEG allocation, and transmission grid operators have to settle the EEG allocation directly with the affected persons or companies, under certain circumstances. To enable this, all the persons or companies involved have to report their electricity generating plants via the EEG Internet portal, including the electricity generated per plant and consumed in-house.
