A Fair, Efficient, and Customisable Path to Lower Energy Costs and Enhanced Market Competitiveness

The benefits of Energinet's method for limited network access empowers system users to choose interruptible connections, enabling them to enjoy a reduced network tariff. This flexibility provides businesses with substantial cost savings, enhancing their competitive edge in the market.

The method is designed with transparency and fairness in mind. System users with limited network access are treated equitably, contributing a fixed percentage of the overall network tariff. This non-discriminatory approach ensures a level playing field for all participants.

By incentivising interruptible connections, Energinet promotes the efficient use of existing transmission networks. System users can capitalise on this opportunity, optimising their energy consumption patterns to align with periods of lower demand, further reducing costs and enhancing grid stability.

Energinet's method strategically allocates costs related to the infrastructure. The reduced tariff for users with limited network access accounts for a fair share of the costs associated with financing, depreciation, and maintenance of the transmission network. This approach ensures that interruptible users contribute responsibly to the infrastructure they utilise.

It also allows for adjustments in tariff structures based on the evolving composition of the cost components. This adaptability ensures that tariff reductions reflect the actual cost-sharing requirements, offering businesses a predictable and fair pricing mechanism.

Energinet's also prioritises operational flexibility and reliability. With a minimum 15-minute notice before interruption, operators and their systems have the crucial time they need to initiate a smooth shutdown process, ensuring seamless transitions and minimizing disruptions. This advance notification mechanism is paramount for businesses, allowing them to adapt swiftly to changing energy demands and maintain uninterrupted operations. Energinet's commitment to empowering businesses with both economic advantages and operational flexibility highlights the organisation's dedication to supporting enterprises in their pursuit of sustainable energy solutions.
