Applications for electricity price compensation can be submitted until 30 June 2024. Specifically, German companies from energy-intensive sectors have the opportunity to reclaim part of their electricity costs for 2023. In total, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs has provided 3.896 billion euros for this measure, although the budget has never been fully used in the past. This year, however, eligible companies with an energy consumption of less than one gigawatt hour per year can also apply for aid for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the purpose of state electricity price compensation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Under electricity price compensation, indirect CO2 costs can be reclaimed. These costs arise because electricity producers factor their own expenses for emission allowances into the electricity price and thus pass them on to their customers. Since such costs only arise within the EU, the federal government wants to use electricity price compensation to protect energy-intensive companies from international competitive disadvantages and to prevent production from being relocated abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 1 April 2024, applications for electricity price compensation for the previous year can be submitted. The aid is calculated on the basis of actual electricity consumption in 2023. As applications can only be submitted until 30 June 2024, companies should act quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n KODEX Legal supports applications for electricity price compensation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Because this year, for the first time, companies with an electricity consumption below one gigawatt hour per year can also apply for aid, small and medium-sized companies in particular benefit more from electricity price compensation.
