einsd — Einspeiser Registry + EEG/KWKG Settlement
einsd is the Einspeiser Registry and EEG/KWKG Settlement daemon. It manages the full
lifecycle of decentralised renewable feed-in plants under the EEG (all versions 2000–2023+)
and CHP plants under the KWKG, covering 10 settlement schemes and all generation technology
types.
Settlement arithmetic is implemented in the separate
eeg-billing library crate —
zero floating-point money, fully unit-tested, no I/O. The library is EEG-version-aware:
it enforces the correct §51/§52/§53 rules for each plant based on its eeg_gesetz year and
technology type, respecting Bestandsschutz for old plants commissioned before 2016.

Why einsd Exists
German EEG/KWKG law requires every Netzbetreiber (NB) to:
- Register every feed-in plant with its commissioning date, capacity, applicable tariff, and governing EEG version — immutable for 20 years under EEG or fixed term under KWKG.
- Verify MaStR registration before releasing Vergütung payments (§52 EEG 2023 / old §47 EEG 2021 via §100 Übergangsregelung).
- Calculate monthly remuneration per the applicable settlement model and EEG version.
- Enforce the §51 Negativpreisregel version that governs each plant — keyed on the commissioning date, because the Solarspitzengesetz rewrote §51 mid-year on 25.02.2025; Bestandsanlagen keep their original rules.
- Alert the asset owner ≥180 days before the Förderendedatum.
- Emit CloudEvents to the ERP system for payment dispatch and accounting entries.
EEG Version-aware Architecture
Every plant has an eeg_gesetz column that carries the version-year-dependent rules —
the §52 Pflichtverstoß regime and the §100 Übergangsbestimmungen. The eeg-billing library
exposes an EegGesetz enum (8 variants) for it:
EegGesetz::Kwkg — KWKG plants (no EEG §52 rules)
EegGesetz::Eeg2000 — EEG 2000 plants
EegGesetz::Eeg2004 — EEG 2004 plants
EegGesetz::Eeg2009 — EEG 2009 plants
EegGesetz::Eeg2012 — EEG 2012 + 2014 amendment plants
EegGesetz::Eeg2017 — EEG 2017 plants (commissioned 2016-01-01 through 2020-12-31)
EegGesetz::Eeg2021 — EEG 2021 plants (commissioned 2021-01-01 through 2022-12-31)
EegGesetz::Eeg2023 — EEG 2023 plants (commissioned from 2023-01-01)
Adding a future EEG variant requires only one new enum variant — the Rust compiler enforces
exhaustive handling in all match sites across the codebase.
§51 is deliberately not one of these rules. EegGesetz exposes no §51 threshold and no
kW exemption, because §51 is not a function of the law year: the Solarspitzengesetz took
effect on 25 February 2025, inside the EEG 2023 range, so two "EEG 2023" plants can be
governed by different §51 rules. NegativpreisRegime::fuer_inbetriebnahme is the single
source — see §51 EEG — Negativpreisregel.
Bestandsschutz
The applicable settlement rules are determined according to the transition provisions of §100 EEG. Many rule aspects remain as originally commissioned; others (e.g. new sanctions, technical requirements, Solarpaket I changes) may apply regardless of the original commissioning date. Confirm specific plant scenarios against the applicable §100 provisions before relying on this simplification.
The §51 thresholds are set out in §51 EEG — Negativpreisregel and are keyed on the commissioning date, not on this column. Other rules may differ independently.
Sources: §100 Abs. 1 Satz 4 EEG 2017, §100 EEG 2021 Abs. 2 Nr. 13, §100 EEG 2023 Abs. 1.
Store eeg_gesetz as one of the canonical years (0, 2000, 2004, 2009, 2012, 2017, 2021,
2023). The from_db_year() function accepts intermediate years defensively
(e.g. 2018 → EEG 2017, 2022 → EEG 2021).
§100 Transition Rules (TariffSource::Transitional)
For old plants with a specific §100 transition provision, supply
tariff_source = Transitional(rule). eeg-billing then derives both the effective
EegGesetz (for §52) and the §51 NegativpreisRegime from the rule rather than from the
plant record — preventing a silent miscalculation when eeg_gesetz or the commissioning date
is set incorrectly in the DB.

§53 EEG — Vergütungsabzug
All EEG versions (2017, 2021, 2023) deduct a flat amount from the gross anzulegender Wert
(AW) before paying Einspeisevergütung:
| Technology | §53 deduction | Formula for DB storage |
|---|---|---|
| Solar PV, Wind | −0.4 ct/kWh | verguetungssatz_ct = AW − 0.4 |
| Biomasse, Wasserkraft, Gas variants | −0.2 ct/kWh | verguetungssatz_ct = AW − 0.2 |
Always store the net rate in verguetungssatz_ct. Use the
eeg_billing::rates::sect53_deduction(ErzeugungsArt) helper to compute it from the gross AW.
§53 does not apply to Direktvermarktung, PostEegSpot, or KWKG plants.
Where the gross AW comes from
eeg_verguetungssaetze is seeded with the Startwerte as enacted:
| Erzeugungsart | § EEG 2023 | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Wasserkraft | § 40 Abs. 1 | seven tiers, 12,03 → 3,37 ct |
| Deponie-, Klär-, Grubengas | § 41 Abs. 1 / 2 / 3 | one ladder each |
| Biomasse | § 42 Satz 1 | 12,67 ct ≤ 150 kW; above that, tender |
| Bioabfall- / Güllevergärung | § 43 / § 44 | separate, higher claims |
| Geothermie | § 45 Abs. 1 | flat 25,20 ct |
| Solar | § 48 | in the version § 101 Abs. 1 Satz 2 keeps in force |
There is deliberately no wind-onshore row: § 22 Abs. 2 makes the claim conditional on a BNetzA Zuschlag and § 36h derives the value from it, so an awarded value is imported per plant rather than seeded.
The same values live in eeg_billing::rates, asserted tier by tier by that
crate's statutory_rate_tests.

KWKG | Combined heat & power | §7 KWKG 2023 |
There is deliberately no generic SOLAR: the §48 rate depends on the Bauform, so a plant
recorded as "solar, unspecified" cannot be priced. Every plant also carries a
verguetungsform (UEBERSCHUSS · VOLLEINSPEISUNG · KWK_ZUSCHLAG), because
Überschuss- and Volleinspeisung rates for the same band and date differ by the §48 Abs. 2a
bonus — 8,11 vs. 12,91 ct/kWh for a ≤ 10 kWp roof plant.
ErzeugungsArt also drives the §51 wind carve-out: under EEG 2017 wind turbines get the 3 MW
exemption (§51 Abs. 3 Nr. 1), while solar and biomasse plants get 500 kW (Nr. 2). EEG 2021
dropped the distinction.
Settlement Models
einsd stores one token per settlement model in eeg_anlagen.settlement_model, and the
same token on every settlement_receipts row. The schema's CHECK list and
einsd::models::ALL are asserted equal by tests/schema_code_guard.rs, so a model cannot be
half-added.
There is exactly one token per model — no German/English aliases — so a gate cannot apply to one spelling and miss the other.

Ausschreibung is not a separate formula. It is the Marktprämie with
TariffSource::Auction — the same calculation on an auction-determined anzulegender Wert.
Award validity, reductions and revocation are the caller's responsibility; the library
receives the already-resolved AW.
Anlage 1 EEG 2023 — die gleitende Marktprämie
Anlage 1 Nr. 3.1.2 defines the Marktprämie as the anzulegender Wert minus the Monatsmarktwert, floored at zero:
Marktprämie = max(0, AW − Monatsmarktwert) × kwh / 100
There is no additive Managementprämie. Marketing costs have been folded into the anzulegender Wert since EEG 2014 — the §53 Vergütungsabzug (0.4 ct/kWh solar and wind, 0.2 ct/kWh biomass and gas) is that same cost appearing on the Einspeisevergütung route instead. Adding a premium on top would pay it twice.
When the Monatsmarktwert exceeds the AW the payment is zero: the plant earns from the market, and there is no guaranteed floor to fall back on.
KWKG rates (§7 Abs. 1 KWKG 2023, from 01.01.2023):
| Plant size | KWK-Zuschlag | Förderdauer |
|---|---|---|
| ≤50 kW_el | 8.00 ct/kWh | 20 years |
| 50–100 kW_el | 6.00 ct/kWh | 20 years |
| 100–250 kW_el | 5.00 ct/kWh | 20 years |
| 250 kW–2 MW_el | 4.00 ct/kWh | 10 years |

Plant Lifecycle

[*] --> aktiv : POST /anlagen
aktiv --> aktiv : POST /repowering<br/>(fresh Inbetriebnahme, keeps settling)
aktiv --> foerderung_beendet : KWKG hour limit reached
aktiv --> abgemeldet : DELETE /anlagen · §24 Zusammenlegung
A plant is aktiv from registration. A missing MaStR entry does not hold it in a separate
state — under §52 EEG 2023 the Vergütung keeps flowing and a Pflichtzahlung accrues alongside
it, which settlement_state records rather than status. Repowering leaves the plant aktiv;
it is recorded by ist_repowering + repowering_datum.
Monthly settlement state
In addition to the plant status column, each plant has a settlement_state that
reflects its current billing lifecycle:
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> active : all compliance OK
active --> reduced : §52 EEG 2023 penalty active<br/>(Vergütung still flows)
reduced --> active : violation resolved
active --> suspended : §52 EEG ≤2021 VerguetungAufNull<br/>(MaStR missing, old EEG)
suspended --> active : MaStR / compliance restored
active --> post_eeg : billing_date > foerderendedatum
active --> ended : plant decommissioned
active --> interrupted : no meter data / no EPEX price
interrupted --> active : data arrivessettlement_state | Meaning |
|---|---|
active | Full Vergütung flows normally. |
reduced | §52 EEG 2023 Pflichtzahlung active; Vergütung unchanged. |
suspended | §52 EEG ≤2021 VerguetungAufNull; no payment. |
interrupted | Temporary: no meter data or EPEX price missing. |
post_eeg | Förderdauer expired; EPEX spot basis. |
ended | Plant decommissioned. |
The settlement_state_transitions audit table logs every change with the reason
(MastrRegistered, Sect52ViolationDetected, FoerderungExpired, …).
| Status (plant) | Meaning |
|---|---|
aktiv | Registered and settling. |
foerderung_beendet | The KWKG kWh limit has been reached. |
abgemeldet | Decommissioned, or merged into a parent under §24. |
These are the only three values the service writes. A plant past its EEG Förderende stays
aktiv — its receipts carry status = foerderung_beendet for the months concerned, and
settlement_state = post_eeg records the lifecycle position.

einspeiser_id names the plant's Anlagenbetreiber (see below) and is mandatory:
§ 7 Abs. 1 EEG 2023 puts the payment on the Netzbetreiber, so a plant nobody can be
paid for is not one this service can act on. Register the operator first.
verguetungssatz_ct = net rate (gross AW − §53 deduction). For solar: 8.51 ct gross
AW (Solarpaket I) − 0.4 ct = 8.11 ct net. Use POST /api/v1/verguetungssatz-lookup
to get the gross AW, then subtract with eeg_billing::rates::sect53_deduction().
foerderendedatum is computed automatically:
- Statutory plants (no BNetzA tender): December 31 of year+20 (§25 Abs. 1 Satz 2 EEG)
— 2024-06-01 →
2044-12-31 - Ausschreibungsanlagen (

Clears the §52 Abs. 1 Nr. 11 violation clock and emits de.eeg.anlage.mastr-registriert so the ERP can release any withheld payment. The plant status is untouched — it was already aktiv.
Einspeiser (Anlagenbetreiber)
The party behind the plants is a record of its own, einspeiser, keyed by an
operator-assigned einspeiser_id (a customer number, a MaStR Marktakteur-ID, or a
UUID the ERP mints — einsd does not invent identities for parties it did not
register). A plant points at one with eeg_anlagen.einspeiser_id.
It is deliberately not a Vertrag. § 7 Abs. 1 EEG 2023 („Gesetzliches Schuldverhältnis") forbids the Netzbetreiber from making its EEG obligations conditional on a contract, so what the settlement needs is a party record.
What it carries is the set of facts that belong to the person rather than to any one installation:
| Field | Why it is per operator |
|---|---|
ust_status | The § 19 UStG Kleinunternehmer election is made by the person, not per installation, and it decides the VAT on every feed-in Gutschrift issued to them (KLEINUNTERNEHMER → 0 %, EN 16931 category E; REGELBESTEUERUNG → 19 %, category S). § 12 Abs. 3 UStG (the 0 % on PV hardware supply) is not a feed-in category and never appears here |
bank_iban / bank_bic / zahlungsempfaenger | One payout account; forwarded in the settlement CloudEvent so accountingd builds the pain.001 without a second lookup |
mastr_akteur_id | The MaStR Marktakteursnummer (SEE…/ABR…), where the operator has one |
PUT /api/v1/einspeiser/EB-4711
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Max Mustermann",
"mastr_akteur_id": "ABR900000012345",
"ust_status": "KLEINUNTERNEHMER",
"bank_iban": "DE89370400440532013000",
"bank_bic": "COBADEFFXXX",
"zahlungsempfaenger": "Max Mustermann"
}
One call switches the VAT on every one of the operator's plants. An ust_status this
build does not know aborts the settlement rather than falling back to a default — a
§ 14 UStG document may not carry a VAT rate the Netzbetreiber inferred.
Registration is validated, not merely stored
POST /api/v1/anlagen refuses a plant the settlement could not honestly act on, and the
message names the field. The rules are in validate::check, and the ones that matter are
not stylistic:
| Rejected | Why |
|---|---|
DIREKTVERMARKTUNG without a positive direktverm_aw_ct | the Marktprämie is max(0, AW − Marktwert), so every month would settle to EUR 0 with status calculated and emit a payout event for it |
AUSSCHREIBUNG without an AW or without ausschreibungs_zuschlag_id | same arithmetic; and an awarded value with no award behind it cannot be audited |
leistung_kwp ≤ 0 | it drives the §9 band, the §52 charge (10 €/kW — a negative capacity would credit the operator), the §44b quota and the §51 size test |
MIETERSTROM without mieter_zuschlag_ct | the plant would settle as a plain Einspeisevergütung |
KWKG_ZUSCHLAG without an hour or year limit | §8 KWKG bounds the Zuschlag by one or the other; with neither it never ends |
| technology and statute disagreeing | a KWK plant with eeg_gesetz ≠ 0, an EEG plant with 0, a solar plant on the KWKG model, or a verguetungsform that belongs to the other statute |
A tender plant may carry its anzulegender Wert in either column. zuschlagswert_ct —
the field named after the award — takes precedence at settlement.
The engine holds the same line independently: a Marktprämie with no AW is PriceMissing,
not a zero settlement. Zero is only ever a derived AW (§51, §51b, §54 Abs. 4), and each
of those sets it after the check.
§9 / §52 EEG — Steuerbarkeit und Pflichtzahlungen
§52 Abs. 1 lists twelve Pflichtverstöße. Each charges the operator 10 €/kW per calendar month (Abs. 2), drops to 2 € once the obligation is met (Abs. 3), is capped at 10 €/kW in total (Abs. 5) and may be netted against the Vergütung (Abs. 6).
einsd derives the five the plant record can actually establish, in one place
(sect52::derive_pflichtverstoesse), and feeds them all into the settlement:
| §52 Abs. 1 | Violation | Derived from |
|---|---|---|
| Nr. 1 | §9 Steuerbarkeit not satisfied | sect9_erfuellung × capacity × technology |
| Nr. 4 | §10b Direktvermarktungspflicht | capacity > 100 kW on an Einspeisevergütung model |
| Nr. 5 | Ausfallvergütung past its Höchstdauer | the settlement receipts |
| Nr. 9 | §21c switch not notified | veraeusserungsform_notification_sent_at |
| Nr. 11 | MaStR registration missing | mastr_registriert |
The remaining seven (Nr. 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9a, 10, 12) turn on facts einsd does not hold —
storage behaviour, metering resolution, Doppelvermarktung. Record them on the plant's
notes and settle a correction.
§9 is staged by capacity
The Steuerbarkeit obligation is not a single threshold:
| Installed capacity | Obligation | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Steckersolargerät < 2 kW (≤ 800 VA) | none | §9 Abs. 1 Satz 2 |
| < 25 kW | 60 % Leistungsbegrenzung | §9 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 |
| 25 kW – < 100 kW | Fernsteuerbarkeit or the 60 % Leistungsbegrenzung | §9 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 |
| ≥ 100 kW | Fernsteuerbarkeit; the 60 % route is not available | §9 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 |
Each plant therefore records how it satisfies §9, not merely when a Fernsteuerbarkeit was installed:
{ "sect9_erfuellung": "LEISTUNGSBEGRENZUNG_60" }
KEINE (the default) is a Nr. 1 violation wherever §9 requires anything, so a compliant
plant has to say which route it took.
§51 EEG — Negativpreisregel
During negative EPEX Spot periods the anzulegender Wert falls to zero. Which version of §51 applies is a function of the plant's Inbetriebnahmedatum, not of its EEG law year.
The Solarspitzengesetz (Gesetz zur Änderung des EnWG, in force 25 February 2025)
rewrote §51 mid-year. Two plants that are both "EEG 2023" plants are therefore governed by
entirely different rules depending on the day they were commissioned — a 200 kWp plant from
June 2024 is exempt, the same plant from June 2025 is not. eeg-billing models this with
NegativpreisRegime::fuer_inbetriebnahme, keyed on the exact date.
| Inbetriebnahme | §51 trigger | Exemption | §51a extension |
|---|---|---|---|
| ≤ 2015-12-31 | never applies (§100 Abs. 1 Satz 4 EEG 2017) | — | — |

§100 — the Bestandsanlagen opt-in
A plant on an older vintage may declare in Textform to the Netzbetreiber that §§ 51 and 51a shall apply to it. The declaration runs at the earliest from the end of the calendar year in which the plant is fitted with an iMSys, and from then the plant forgoes payment during negative prices and is paid 0,6 ct/kWh more on its anzulegender Wert for everything else.
Record the declaration date on the plant; einsd derives the effective date from it and
imesys_rollout_datum, and picks the regime per billing period:
{ "sect51_optin_erklaert_am": "2026-03-01", "imesys_rollout_datum": "2026-09-01" }
A declaration on a plant without an iMSys is on file and simply does not run yet.

The reduction is driven by two inputs on the settle request — the feed-in that fell in
qualifying negative-price intervals (kwh_during_negative_epex, §51) and the count of those
quarter-hours (negative_price_quarter_hours, §51a):
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/settle/2026/7
Content-Type: application/json
{ "einspeisemenge_kwh": 1000, "kwh_during_negative_epex": 80, "negative_price_quarter_hours": 16 }
Result: effective_kwh = 920; settlement_eur = 920 × rate / 100.
Or omit both and let einsd derive them. Load the EPEX day-ahead spot prices once, and
every settle (single, batch and the monthly auto-settle) that does not carry explicit
values fetches the plant's ¼h feed-in from edmd (GET /api/v1/energy/{malo_id}?direction=EINSPEISUNG), overlays it
against the stored prices, and applies the plant's regime — including its run-length threshold
— in eeg-billing::negativpreis:
PUT /api/v1/epex-spot
Content-Type: application/json
{ "source": "epex-day-ahead",
"prices": [ { "delivery_start": "2026-07-01T12:00:00Z", "resolution_min": 15, "price_ct_kwh": -1.5 }, … ] }
The billing month is taken in Europe/Berlin, not UTC: both the day-ahead curve and edmd's ¼h series are published for the German market time, so a UTC window shifted the month by an hour (two at DST) and matched the first hour against the previous month's prices.
A §60 Abs. 2 MsbG gate guards the auto-derivation: when edmd reports the month's feed-in
coverage below 95 % or any non-billable interval, einsd skips the automatic reduction and
logs it (deriving on incomplete data would find too few negative kWh and overpay) — supply
kwh_during_negative_epex manually or backfill substitute values in edmd instead. A month that
genuinely had no qualifying quarter-hour derives as zero, which is a different answer from
"nothing was known" and is recorded as such. The engine then applies the size / iMSys /
Pilotwind exemptions on top of the derived kWh. Explicit request values always win. The edmd
fetch authenticates with edmd_api_key, which must be registered in edmd's
[[oidc.service_keys]] (see below).

§51a — Verlängerung des Vergütungszeitraums
For the quarter-hours where §51 reduced the AW to null, the Vergütungszeitraum is extended. The claim is not universal: before the Solarspitzengesetz it existed only for ausschreibungspflichtige Anlagen, so a statutory-AW plant commissioned in 2024 loses those quarter-hours outright. From 25 February 2025 it covers every plant §51 reduces.
einsd accrues the raw lost quarter-hours per plant (negative_price_qh_gesamt), and the
rounding is applied once over the 20-year total when settling — never per month — so the
extension never over-counts:
- Solar PV: the quarter-hours are multiplied by 0,5 into a Volllastviertelstunden contingent and drawn down against the §51a Abs. 2 monthly table (73 in December, 508 in June).
- All others: rounded up to whole calendar days (96 QH/day, Abs. 1 Satz 2).
The plant's stored foerderendedatum stays the statutory one; effektives_foerderende
derives the extended end at settlement time, so a plant keeps being paid through the
extension.
A correction settlement that carries no §51 figures leaves the period's accrual unchanged. The accrual row holds each period's absolute contribution, so writing a zero would silently hand back an extension the original settlement had earned.
§36h Abs. 2 — Wind Standortgüte re-evaluation
An onshore wind plant's anzulegender Wert is location-corrected by a Korrekturfaktor derived from its Gütefaktor (§36h Abs. 1, Anlage 2). Under §36h Abs. 2, that Gütefaktor is re-evaluated with effect from the start of the 6th, 11th and 16th operating year against the measured Standortertrag of the preceding five years. Record each one:
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/wind-reevaluation
Content-Type: application/json
{ "wirksam_ab_jahr": 6, "guetefaktor": 0.95 }
einsd stores the re-evaluations in wind_guetefaktor_reevaluations and, at settle time,
build_settle_input selects the Korrekturfaktor whose effective year has been reached —
so a plant automatically steps to the re-evaluated rate from year 6/11/16. The response flags
reconciliation_required when the recomputed Gütefaktor deviates more than 2 percentage
points (§36h Abs. 2 Satz 2): settle the reviewed five-year period's over-/under-payment as a
§147 AO correction (repayment interest EURIBOR-12M + 1 pp, Satz 3).
§51b — Biogas Ausschreibung at slightly-positive prices
§51b EEG 2023 applies exclusively to biogas plants (fermentation only, not biomethane) whose Anzulegender Wert was set by BNetzA tender. The rule is triggered by a slightly-positive EPEX price, not a negative one:
When
epex_avg_ct_kwh ≤ 2 ct/kWh, the AW reduces to zero for that period. No payment is made. §51/§51a do not apply to these plants (§51b Satz 2 EEG 2023).

The settlement formula automatically returns EUR 0 with position label §51b EEG 2023
for any period where the EPEX average is ≤ 2 ct/kWh.
§21 Abs. 1 Satz 1 Nr. 3 — Ausfallvergütung
The fallback for a plant above 100 kW whose Direktvermarkter drops out. Two rules attach to it, and both are enforced:
- §53 Abs. 3: the anzulegender Wert is reduced by 20 %, rounded to two decimals. Register the plant's ordinary rate — the engine applies the cut.
- Höchstdauern: at most three consecutive calendar months and six calendar months per calendar year. Exceeding either is a §52 Abs. 1 Nr. 5 Pflichtverstoß at 10 €/kW/month, counted from the settlement receipts.
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/settle/2026/4
A plant in its fourth consecutive Ausfallvergütung month is still settled — the statute does not stop the payment — but the receipt now carries the Pflichtzahlung alongside it.
§51 Abs. 3 — the reporting duty
An operator on the Ausfallvergütung must report, with the §71 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 data, the quantity it fed in while the Spotmarktpreis was continuously negative. Where nothing establishes that quantity, the month's claim falls by 5 % per calendar day on which such a period fell, wholly or partly — twenty such days extinguish it.
einsd counts the days from the EPEX spot store (in Europe/Berlin, so a run across
midnight counts both days) and applies the cut only when the §51 feed-in figure could not
be established at all. A figure derived from edmd counts as established: it comes from
the Netzbetreiber's own metering, which is what the report would have supplied.
The two reductions compose in statutory order — §53 Abs. 3 cuts the anzulegender Wert, then §51 Abs. 3 cuts the resulting claim.
§23a EEG 2023 — Quarterly Solar PV Degression
Solar PV tariff rates decrease quarterly. The eeg-billing crate provides the degression
formula; actual BNetzA-published quarterly rates are stored in eeg_verguetungssaetze.
Solarpaket I reference rates (Q2 2024, §48 EEG 2023 n.F.):
| Capacity | Überschusseinspeisung | Volleinspeisung |
|---|---|---|
| ≤10 kWp | 8.51 ct/kWh | 13.31 ct/kWh |
| ≤40 kWp | 7.43 ct/kWh | 11.23 ct/kWh |
| ≤100 kWp | 7.64 ct/kWh | 12.74 ct/kWh |
| ≤400 kWp | 7.64 ct/kWh | 10.84 ct/kWh |
| ≤1 MWp | 7.64 ct/kWh | 9.54 ct/kWh |
For plants commissioned after Q2 2024, use lookup_statutory_rate MCP tool or
GET /api/v1/verguetungssatz-lookup to retrieve the correctly degresssed rate for the
commissioning quarter.
§49 degression. Solar anzulegende Werte fall by a fixed 1 % every six months, on 1 February and 1 August, starting 01.02.2024. The steps compound on the unrounded value and each result is rounded kaufmännisch to the cent, which is what reproduces the BNetzA-published series exactly. The GW-dependent "atmender Deckel" of earlier EEG versions no longer exists.
§§20–22 EEG 2023 — Direktvermarktung
Mandatory threshold (§20)
Plants > 100 kW installed capacity must participate in Direktvermarktung. Plants that fail
to do so while above the threshold trigger DirektvermarktungspflichtVerletzt (§52 Abs. 1
Nr. 4). Use the AUSFALLVERGUETUNG model for plants whose Direktvermarkter is temporarily
unavailable (Ausfallvergütung per §21 Abs. 1 Nr. 2 EEG 2023 — TemporaryFeedInTariff is this
library's abstraction for the statutory fallback remuneration).
Ausschreibungspflicht (§22)
| Technology | Threshold |
|---|---|
| Solar PV | > 1,000 kWp |
| Wind onshore | > 750 kW |
| Biomasse | > 150 kW |
| Wasserkraft | > 500 kW |
| Geothermie | > 150 kW |
| Wind offshore | always |
Plants above these thresholds must use tariff_source = Auction with the BNetzA-awarded AW.
The direktvermarktung and capacity_blocks columns track this.
Multi-Meter Messkonzept
German EEG plants can have multiple measurement points. einsd stores none of that: the
metering topology and computation — the Eigenverbrauch/Überschuss split and the §42b EnWG GGV tenant
allocation — belong to the metering domain, owned by edmd and the external
metering crate (AggregationRule with
PvSelfConsumption, GgvConstantAllocation, GgvProportionalAllocation;
compute_virtual_meter; MeasurementPoint). einsd settles on the already-aggregated
Einspeisemenge edmd returns (arbeitsmenge_kwh, or the ¼h /feed-in series for §51), so
the settlement engine never re-derives the metering split:
graph TB
subgraph Simple["Simple (most common)"]
BM["Bidirectional meter<br/>OBIS 1-0:2.8.0 (Einspeisung)<br/>OBIS 1-0:1.8.0 (Bezug)"]
end

end
subgraph GGV["§42b EnWG GGV (multi-tenant)"]
GEN["Generation meter"]
T1["Tenant A meter"]
T2["Tenant B meter"]
GEN --> T1
GEN --> T2
end
For §42b Gemeinschaftliche Gebäudeversorgung, the tenant-vs-grid split (constant
CCI+ZG6 or proportional Z74 allocation) is computed in edmd via
metering::AggregationRule; einsd receives the resulting feed-in quantity and settles it.
§52 EEG — the full violation catalogue
The detection and the §9 bands are in §9 / §52 EEG — Steuerbarkeit und Pflichtzahlungen; this is the catalogue the engine prices against.
Old plants (EEG ≤2021 via §100 Übergangsregelung)
Old plants use the three-tier SanktionAlt model — the breach reduces the Vergütung
itself, and there is no separate Pflichtzahlung to charge:

§13a EnWG — Einspeisemanagement Compensation
When the NB curtails a plant's output (Einspeisemanagement / Redispatch 2.0), §13a EnWG requires compensation for the entgangene Einnahmen — modelled here at the AW rate. The §51 Negativpreisregel does not touch these kWh (they were never fed in).

§21b EEG 2023 — Veräußerungsform Wechsel
Plants switch between Einspeisevergütung and Direktvermarktung monthly. Rules enforced:
- Plants > 100 kW cannot switch back to Einspeisevergütung (mandatory Direktvermarktung, §20 EEG 2023).

§§53b–54 EEG 2023 — reductions of the anzulegender Wert
These three statutes cut the anzulegender Wert itself, before any settlement
formula runs. That ordering is not a detail. The gleitende Marktprämie is
max(0, AW − Marktwert), floored at zero, so a euro deduction
taken after the floor is a different number from a cut applied before it:
where the Marktwert already exceeds the AW the premium is zero, and a post-hoc
deduction would push the settlement negative — charging the operator for
electricity they fed in. eeg-billing therefore applies all of them to the AW
and records each as a zero-euro audit position naming its §, so a Gutschrift
shows every statute that touched the rate without double-counting the money.
Only the triggering facts are stored. Every amount except §53c's is fixed by statute, so there is no rate column a data-entry error could use to invent a deduction the law does not provide for.
| § | Trigger | Amount | Table |
|---|---|---|---|
| 53b | A Regionalnachweis (§79a) was issued, and the AW is gesetzlich bestimmt | −0,1 ct/kWh | eeg_regionalnachweise |
| 53c | Electricity transited through a grid and exempt from Stromsteuer | −the granted exemption | eeg_stromsteuerbefreiungen |
| 54 | Solar first-segment auction, four distinct defects | −0,3 / −0,3 / −2,5 ct/kWh, or AW → 0 | eeg_sect54_solar_defekte |
§53b — Regionalnachweise
"Der anzulegende Wert für Strom, für den dem Anlagenbetreiber ein Regionalnachweis ausgestellt worden ist, verringert sich bei Anlagen, deren anzulegender Wert gesetzlich bestimmt ist, um 0,1 Cent pro Kilowattstunde."
The qualifier is about how the AW was determined, not how the electricity is marketed: a statutory-AW plant in Direktvermarktung is in scope, a tender-awarded plant is not. Regionalnachweise are issued by the Herkunfts- und Regionalnachweisregister; no BNetzA certificate and no grid area is involved.
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/aw-reduktionen/regionalnachweis
Content-Type: application/json
{ "nachweis_ref": "HKNR-RN-2026-0001", "effective_from": "2026-01-01" }
No amount is accepted — the response echoes the statutory 0,1 ct/kWh.
§53c — Stromsteuerbefreiung
"Der anzulegende Wert verringert sich für Strom, der durch ein Netz durchgeleitet wird und der von der Stromsteuer nach dem Stromsteuergesetz befreit ist, um die Höhe der pro Kilowattstunde gewährten Stromsteuerbefreiung."
The amount is the exemption actually granted, which is why it is the one stored value here. It is capped — in the schema and again in the engine — at the full §3 StromStG rate of 20,50 EUR/MWh = 2,05 ct/kWh: an exemption cannot exceed the tax it exempts from.
The combination is narrow in practice. §9 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 and Nr. 3 StromStG both require self-consumption at, or supply in spatial connection to, the generating plant — neither of which involves grid transit. Record a row only where an exemption has actually been granted for grid-transited electricity.

- Solar PV: the
ceil(qh / 2)Volllastviertelstunden contingent, drawn down month by month at the statutory monthly-table rate (§51a Abs. 2 EEG 2023). - All others: the lost quarter-hours rounded up to whole calendar days (96 QH/day, §51a Abs. 1 Satz 2).

Jahresabrechnung
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/jahresabrechnung/{year}
Derived from the stored receipts, not recomputed — the monthly runs are what created the payment obligation. Each month contributes its latest receipt: the correction where one exists, the original otherwise.
A correction is a separate row and does not supersede its original in place, so neither summing every row (which double-counts the month) nor summing only the originals (which reports superseded amounts) agrees with what was paid. Taking the latest per month does.
missing_months is bounded by the commissioning date and the Förderende, so a plant
commissioned in June is not missing January — demanding all twelve would leave a plant's
first and last years permanently vorlaeufig, listing months that were never owed.
§ 147 AO / GoBD — Correction Settlement
When meter data or tariffs are corrected, create a correction receipt:
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/settlements/{year}/{month}/correction
Content-Type: application/json
{
"einspeisemenge_kwh": 340.5,
"reason": "MeterDataCorrected",
"reason_detail": "Corrected reading after Zählernachlesung on 2024-07-20"
}
The correction:
- Snapshots the original receipt to
settlement_receipt_history(immutable, § 147 AO / GoBD) - Re-runs settlement with corrected inputs
- Stores
is_correction = trueandcorrection_of = <original_id>in the new receipt
CorrectionReason | Use case |
|---|---|
MeterDataCorrected | Corrected Einspeisemenge after Zählernachlesung |
TariffCorrected | Wrong verguetungssatz_ct applied |
MastrRegistrationConfirmed | Retroactive §52 sanction removal after MaStR confirmed |
CapacityCorrected | Wrong leistung_kwp applied |
RegulatoryReprocessing | BNetzA ruling changed billing basis |
FoerderendedatumCorrected | §25 Abs. 1 Satz 2 date recalculated |
Other | Manual correction with free-text detail |
The original receipt is always preserved in settlement_receipt_history. The correction chain is queryable via correction_of.
§25 EEG — Anteilige Zahlung (Partial Billing Period)
When a plant is commissioned or its Förderdauer ends mid-month, only the calendar days
with entitlement count. einsd computes
billing_days_fraction automatically:
graph LR
IBN["Commissioning date<br/>in current billing month?"]
IBN -->|"Yes, day > 1"| COMM["fraction = <br/>(days_in_month - day + 1) / days_in_month"]
IBN -->|"No"| FED["Förderendedatum<br/>in current billing month?"]
FED -->|"Yes, day < last"| DECOM["fraction = day / days_in_month"]
FED -->|"No"| FULL["fraction = None<br/>(full month)"]| Case | Example | billing_days_fraction |
|---|---|---|
| Commissioned June 15, 30-day month | 16 eligible days | 16/30 = 0.5333 |
| Förderendedatum June 20, 30-day month | 20 eligible days | 20/30 = 0.6667 |
| Full month | any | null (full amount) |
billing_days_fraction is applied to settlement_eur and all position amounts.
pflichtzahlung_eur is not prorated (penalties are per-calendar-month).
Repowering (§3 Nr. 30 i.V.m. §25 EEG 2023)
⚠ Implementation model, not a complete legal statement. Repowering law is nuanced: whether the Förderdauer resets, and what new tariff applies, depends on the type and extent of the repowering and the applicable EEG provisions. This endpoint models the most common full-repowering case. Always confirm the specific plant scenario with the applicable EEG provisions and BNetzA guidance.
For the full-repowering case: the Förderdauer resets from the repowering date.
New foerderendedatum = December 31 of (year + 20) per §25 Abs. 1 Satz 2 EEG.
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/repowering
Content-Type: application/json
{ "repowering_datum": "2026-05-01", "leistung_kwp_neu": 6.2 }
eeg_gesetz and verguetungssatz_ct are updated to the current law/rate. Original
inbetriebnahme is preserved in ursprungs_inbetriebnahme.
Zusammenlegung (§24 EEG 2023)
§24 Abs. 1 deems several plants one plant for the §19 Abs. 1 claim and the
§21 Abs. 1 / §22 size determination. Because tariff bands and the tender
threshold are size-dependent, a merge the statute does not support moves the
survivor into a band it never qualified for — for the rest of its 20-year
Förderdauer, and indistinguishably from a legitimate merge once written. The
endpoint therefore evaluates §24 and refuses with 422 when it does not
apply, naming the rule that decided.
Satz 1 fuses two plants only when all four hold:
- same Grundstück, Gebäude or Betriebsgelände, or otherwise in unmittelbarer
räumlicher Nähe (
standort_id, orunmittelbare_raeumliche_naeheon the request), - gleichartige erneuerbare Energien (
erzeugungsart), - the §19 Abs. 1 claim depends on Bemessungsleistung or installierte Leistung,
- commissioned within twelve consecutive calendar months (
inbetriebnahme).
Sätze 2–5 then override that result:
| Satz | Rule |
|---|---|
| 2 | Biogas (not biomethane) from the same Biogaserzeugungsanlage is fused regardless of Satz 1 — including across sites and outside the window (biogaserzeugungsanlage_id) |
| 3 | Freiflächenanlagen are never fused with solar on, in or at buildings and Lärmschutzwände (solar_montage) |
| 4 | Building/Lärmschutzwand solar behind different Netzverknüpfungspunkte is not one plant (netzverknuepfungspunkt) |
| 5 | Steckersolargeräte ≤ 2 kW installed and ≤ 800 VA inverter, behind a Letztverbraucher's Entnahmestelle, are disregarded entirely |
Ownership is not a criterion. Satz 1 opens "unabhängig von den Eigentumsverhältnissen", so two plants with different operators fuse just the same; a model that keyed on operator identity would under-fuse, the direction that overpays.
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/zusammenlegen
Content-Type: application/json
{
"parent_tr_id": "DE_PARENT_MAIN",
"combined_leistung_kwp": "19.0",
"unmittelbare_raeumliche_naehe": false
}
unmittelbare_raeumliche_naehe supplies Nr. 1's second limb and is a human
judgement about the pair, so it is asserted per request rather than derived. It
matters only when the two standort_id values differ.
On a permitted merge the child becomes abgemeldet, the parent's
foerderendedatum is unchanged (only Repowering resets it), and future
settlements run on the parent alone. Update verguetungssatz_ct if the combined
capacity crosses a rate band boundary. A refused merge changes nothing.

settlement_receipts
One initial receipt per billing period, plus any number of corrections beside it. The
unique index is partial — (tr_id, tenant, billing_year, billing_month) WHERE is_correction = false —
so a re-settle upserts the initial row in place while a correction is inserted as a separate
row, leaving the original untouched. Upserts must repeat the predicate; Postgres cannot infer
a partial index from the column list alone.
Reading "the receipt for this month" therefore means the latest row — the correction where
one exists, the original otherwise (DISTINCT ON (billing_month) … ORDER BY is_correction DESC, settled_at DESC).
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
pflichtzahlung_eur | §52 EEG 2023 penalty for this period (separate from Vergütung) |
faelligkeitsdatum | §26 Abs. 1 EEG 2023 — 15th of following calendar month |
verlaengerungsanspruch_qh | §51a quarter-hours accrued this period |
billing_days_fraction | §25 partial month factor (mid-month commissioning/expiry) |
positions_json | § 147 AO / GoBD — itemized billing positions JSONB snapshot |
is_correction | true when this receipt supersedes a prior calculation |
correction_of | UUID of the original receipt this corrects (traceability chain) |
settlement_receipt_history
§ 147 AO / GoBD immutable snapshots, captured as to_jsonb(settlement_receipts) before a
re-settle overwrites an initial receipt. Corrections write no snapshot — they leave the
original in place. Query this table to reconstruct the billing history for a plant and period.

bank_iban, bank_bic, and zahlungsempfaenger are forwarded from the plant's
einspeiser record so accountingd can generate a SEPA Credit Transfer pain.001 without
a secondary DB lookup. They are absent (null) for EIGENVERBRAUCH settlements (no payout).
§14 UStG Gutschrift document
EEG feed-in is settled under the Gutschriftverfahren (§14 Abs. 2 Satz 2 UStG): the
Netzbetreiber issues the settlement document to the Anlagenbetreiber. The settlement
amount alone is not that document — VAT law requires a Gutschrift with the per-rate USt
breakdown (EN 16931 BG-23). For every billable settlement run_settlement therefore
builds one (eeg-billing's settlement_to_gutschrift, VAT from the operator's declared
einspeiser.ust_status: Regelbesteuerung 19 % category S / §19 Kleinunternehmer 0 %
category E) and persists it as a BO4E
rubo4e::current::Rechnung in settlement_receipts.rechnung_json, with the
gutschrift_nummer (GS-EEG-<tr>-<year>-<month>) for lookup. The event carries the net
(settlement_eur), the USt (gutschrift_steuer_eur) and the brutto so accountingd books
the credit against an actual document, not just an amount. Non-billable statuses
(no_data / price_missing / foerderung_beendet) issue no Gutschrift.
The Gutschrift crosses the BO4E outbound gate before it is stored.
eeg-billing checks its own emissions in tests, but that covers the shapes the
builder produces, not the values a settlement run supplies — the entitlement,
the VAT status, the §§53b–54 levy layers — and every rule the gate runs is
arithmetic over those. This is the document an Anlagenbetreiber is paid against.
One that fails is dropped with a warning naming the defect and the settlement is
stored without a document, the same degradation an assembly failure takes.

The eeg-agent specialist in agentd handles de.eeg.* CloudEvents and de.messwert.reading.direct.stored (for iMSys rollout detection — lifts the <100 kW §51 Negativpreisregel exemption on first iMSys push). Two more agentd specialists cover einsd: eeg-compliance-agent runs the §52/§44b/§20 compliance checks (get_compliance_status, check_sect44b_quota, check_direktvermarktung_compliance); einsd-batch-agent drives the monthly settlement batch + §52 Pflichtzahlungen sweep (list_unsettled_plants + POST /settlements/batch, triggered on de.eeg.anlage.foerderung-auslaufend or manual/cron).
