Manuelle Verarbeitung von Abregelungsmeldungen führt zu Verzögerungen bei Einspeise- und Abrechnungsmeldungen

Updated: Feb 20263 verified sources

Definition

German wind operators typically process curtailment notices manually: receive email or portal notification from TSO → manually update generation forecasts → adjust billing records → prepare compensation claim. This workflow introduces 2–6 hour delays per event. During high-wind periods with frequent curtailments (10–20 events/week), the operations team becomes capacity-constrained. Result: missed deadlines for claim filing (typically 30–90 days per EEG § 11), incorrect MWh calculations, and delays in reporting to commercial counterparties (power purchasers, utilities).

Key Findings

Financial Impact: Soft estimate: 5–10% of curtailment events miss claim deadline due to manual processing delays = 0.5–1 TWh annual lost claims at €50–€80/MWh = €25M–€80M. Administrative overhead: 1–2 FTE per 100 MW capacity dedicated to curtailment management = €80,000–€150,000/year per operator.
Frequency: Continuous (daily to weekly curtailment events during high-wind periods; escalating as curtailment rates rise)
Root Cause: TSO communication fragmented across email, dedicated portals (SMARD, Tennet transparency portal, 50Hertz portal), and SCADA systems. No standardized API for real-time curtailment data ingestion. Operator IT systems cannot consume unstructured TSO notices automatically.

Why This Matters

This pain point represents a significant opportunity for B2B solutions targeting Wind Electric Power Generation.

Unbezahlte Einspeisevergütung und fehlende Ausgleichsansprüche bei Regelenergie-Abregelung

Hard evidence: 10 TWh curtailed energy at €50–€80/MWh = €500M–€800M in 2025 curtailment compensation claims. Soft estimate: 10–25% of claims remain unpaid or delayed (€50M–€200M annual revenue leakage). Administrative overhead: 15–30 hours/month per MW capacity for manual claim tracking and reconciliation.

Verzögerte Auszahlung von Ausgleichsleistungen und mangelnde Dokumentation für Steuerbehörden

Soft estimate: 90–180 day AR delay on €500M–€800M annual curtailment compensation = €37M–€110M working capital drag (at 6% cost of capital = €2.2M–€6.6M annual opportunity cost). Administrative overhead: 25–40 hours/month per operator for manual claim reconciliation and GoBD audit preparation. Estimated cost: €15,000–€25,000/month per operator.

Fehlende oder unvollständige Dokumentation von Abregelungsereignissen—Bußgelder bei Betriebsprüfung

Hard evidence potential: GoBD penalties €5,000–€25,000 per audit finding; repeated violations up to €1M (§ 90 Abs. 3 AStG). Soft estimate: 30–40% of mid-sized German wind operators (50–100 MW) face at least one audit finding per Betriebsprüfung cycle (3–5 year intervals) = €2M–€10M annual sector-wide penalty exposure.
