Under section 23a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG), operators of newly constructed gas supply systems or LNG facilities must apply for approval from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) for their network access tariffs[1][4]. Applications must be submitted in writing or electronically[1].
The tariff applications should include all necessary documents for review[1]. According to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), the applicant is required to file a petition before NEPRA for determination of its tariff in a form and manner as required under the NEPRA Laws[2]. A complete and accurate Feasibility Study must include[2]:
* Item-wise break down of major components of the project[2]
* Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and corresponding costs[2]
* Capacity and energy data and tariff table(s)[2]
* A detailed implementation schedule and payment schedule during construction[2]
For written submissions to the Bundesnetzagentur:
* Applications should ideally be on single-sided A4 paper and must be signed[1].
* It is recommended to send them to the Bundesnetzagentur by registered post, along with the other documents required under section 23a(3) EnWG[1].
LNG facility operators also need approval under section 23a EnWG to levy tariffs and are subject to special rules[1].
