The Renewable Expansion Act (EAG) has a target of 27 terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable generation capacity by 2030. Wind power is expected to contribute eleven TWh, supported almost exclusively through market premiums. The EAG market premium is designed to cover the difference between the production costs of electricity from wind power and the average market value for electricity (in accordance with EAG §§ 13) for 20 years.
In order to enable a broader expansion of wind power and to compensate for locational disadvantages, the Renewable Energy Sources Act offers the possibility of adjusting the so-called applicable value (azW) as a determinant for the
market premium on the basis of location criteria
. On the one hand, these are the wind yield of the location and the altitude: the lower the yield and the higher the location of the plant, the higher the achievable market premium per unit of electricity generated.
The Energiewerkstatt has made its user-friendly EAG-market bonus calculator which can be used to easily and clearly calculate the applicable value (azW) for wind power projects in accordance with the EAG.
