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:

  1. 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.
  2. Verify MaStR registration before releasing Vergütung payments (§52 EEG 2023 / old §47 EEG 2021 via §100 Übergangsregelung).
  3. Calculate monthly remuneration per the applicable settlement model and EEG version.
  4. Enforce version-specific §51 rules (Negativpreisregel) — thresholds differ by EEG law year; old plants (Bestandsanlagen) keep their original rules via Bestandsschutz.
  5. Alert the asset owner ≥180 days before the Förderendedatum.
  6. Emit CloudEvents to the ERP system for payment dispatch and accounting entries.

EEG Version-aware Architecture

Every plant has an eeg_gesetz column that determines which version's rules apply. The eeg-billing library exposes an EegGesetz enum (8 variants) that encodes all version-specific behaviour:

EegGesetz::Kwkg       — KWKG plants (no §51/§52 EEG 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 2025/2026 variant requires only one new enum variant — the Rust compiler enforces exhaustive handling in all match sites across the codebase.

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 table below shows the §51 Negativpreisregel thresholds per EEG version (one of the most version-sensitive rules). Other rules may differ independently.

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) and eeg-billing automatically derives the correct EegGesetz for §51/§52 dispatch — preventing silent miscalculations when eeg_gesetz 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 deductionFormula for DB storage
Solar PV, Wind−0.4 ct/kWhverguetungssatz_ct = AW − 0.4
Biomasse, Wasserkraft, Gas variants−0.2 ct/kWhverguetungssatz_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.

Settlement Models

einsd supports 10 settlement schemes via the eeg-billing crate. The scheme is stored as settlement_model in settlement_receipts and selected when calling POST /settle/{year}/{month}.

Ausschreibung is not a separate scheme. It is MARKET_PREMIUM with tariff_source = Auction — it uses the MarketPremium calculation with an auction-determined anzulegender Wert. Award validity, reductions, and revocation are the caller's responsibility; the library receives the already-resolved AW from the caller.

§20 Abs. 3 EEG 2023 — Managementprämie

This library's implementation follows the reading that the Managementprämie is incorporated into the AW before computing the spread, based on the statutory text: §20 Abs. 3 EEG 2023: "Bei der Berechnung der Marktprämie ist der anzulegende Wert um 0,4 ct/kWh zu erhöhen."

eff_AW = direktverm_aw_ct + managementpraemie_ct
Marktprämie = max(0, eff_AW − EPEX_avg) × kwh / 100

When EPEX > eff_AW, the total payment is zero — no guaranteed floor. Auto-calculated from leistung_kwp when managementpraemie_ct is null: 0.4 ct/kWh (≤100 MW) · 0.2 ct/kWh (>100 MW).

Settlement positions vs. legal components. For audit transparency, eeg-billing decomposes the total spread into two billing positions: "Gleitende Marktprämie" and "Managementprämie". This is a software decomposition to make the calculation auditable — it does not mean the Managementprämie is a legally separate payment component. The single payment to the operator is max(0, eff_AW − EPEX) × kwh / 100.

Verify before production use. The treatment of the Managementprämie in the context of current BNetzA guidance and bilateral contract terms should be confirmed against the current statutory text before relying on this calculation for settlement disputes.

KWKG rates (§7 Abs. 1 KWKG 2023, from 01.01.2023):

Plant sizeKWK-ZuschlagFörderdauer
≤50 kW_el8.00 ct/kWh20 years
50–100 kW_el6.00 ct/kWh20 years

250 kW–2 MW_el4.00 ct/kWh10 years
>2 MW_el3.00 ct/kWh30,000 full-load hours

Settlement positions: Each calculation returns a positions array for full auditability. eeg-billing guarantees Σ(positions[*].eur) = settlement_eur.

Precision: rust_decimal::Decimal — never f64.

Inbetriebnahmeprozess

  1. Physical commissioning by operator.
  2. NB registers in einsd via POST /api/v1/anlagen (mastr_registriert: false if pending).
  3. Operator registers plant at marktstammdatenregister.de.
  4. NB confirms via POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/mastr-registrierung → plant → aktiv.
  5. Monthly settlement auto-runs. Vergütung dispatched via CloudEvent.

ust_status is the operator's declared VAT status — KLEINUNTERNEHMER (§19 UStG, 0 %, EN 16931 category E) or REGELBESTEUERUNG (§12 Abs. 1 UStG, 19 %, category S) — and drives the feed-in Gutschrift VAT. It is a property of the operator, not the plant, so it cannot be inferred from capacity; when omitted, einsd seeds a sensible default (a ≤30 kWp post-2023 solar plant → KLEINUNTERNEHMER, everything else → REGELBESTEUERUNG). §12 Abs. 3 UStG (the 0 % on PV hardware supply) is not a feed-in category and never appears here.

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

§51 EEG — Negativpreisregel

During negative EPEX Spot periods, the EEG Vergütung is reduced to zero. Rules differ by EEG version — Bestandsschutz protects old plants commissioned before 2016-01-01.

        D["Any negative period<br/>< 100 kW exempt until iMSys<br/>(§51 Abs. 2 Nr. 1)"]
    end

The reduction is driven by two inputs on the settle request — the feed-in that fell in 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 and the monthly auto-settle) that does not carry explicit values fetches the plant's ¼h feed-in from edmd (GET /api/v1/feed-in/{malo_id}), overlays it against the stored prices, and derives them via the version-aware run logic (EEG 2017 ≥6 h, EEG 2021 ≥4 h consecutive, EEG 2023 any interval) 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 }, ] }

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. The engine then applies the kW / iMSys 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).

Applies to: FEED_IN_TARIFF, TENANT_ELECTRICITY, FLEXIBILITY_PREMIUM. Not to: MARKET_PREMIUM, POST_EEG, KWK_SURCHARGE, EIGENVERBRAUCH.

§51a — Verlängerung des Vergütungszeitraums

For the quarter-hours where §51 reduced the AW to null, the Förderdauer is extended (§51a Abs. 1 Satz 2 / Abs. 2). 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 ceil(qh / 2) Volllastviertelstunden contingent, drawn down month by month at the statutory rate (Abs. 2 monthly table).
  • 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.

§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).

Register biogas Ausschreibungsanlagen with is_biogas_sect51b: true. The settlement formula automatically returns EUR 0 with position label §51b EEG 2023 for any period where the EPEX average is ≤ 2 ct/kWh.


§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.):

Plants above these thresholds must use tariff_source = Auction with the BNetzA-awarded AW. The direktvermarktung_pflicht and capacity_blocks columns track this.

Recording Direktvermarktung periods

The direktvermarktung_perioden JSONB column stores the history of Direktvermarktung engagements per plant. Each entry: { beginn_datum, ende_datum, direktvermarkter_mp_id, ist_freiwillig, anzulegender_wert_ct }. Sorted by beginn_datum ascending.


Multi-Meter Messkonzept

German EEG plants can have multiple measurement points. einsd stores only the metering classification on the plant (metering_mode = SLP / RLM / IMSYS); 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
    subgraph VE["Volleinspeisung (2 meters)"]
        EM["Erzeugungsmessung<br/>(billing basis)"]
        BZ["Bezugsmessung"]
    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 — Compliance Violations

Old plants (EEG ≤2021 via §100 Übergangsregelung)

Old plants use the three-tier SanktionAlt model (Vergütung reduction, not penalty payment):

Tier§52 EEG ≤2021Vergütung effect
VerguetungAufNullAbs. 1EUR 0 (MaStR not registered, §10b, §27a)
VerguetungAufMarktwertAbs. 2EPEX Monatsmarktwert (§9 Fernsteuerbarkeit missing)
VerguetungReduziert20ProzentAbs. 3×0.80, rounded to 2dp (MaStR late/partial)

New plants (EEG 2023, commissioned from 2023-01-01)

§52 EEG 2023: Pflichtzahlung from operator to NB — Vergütung continues, penalty is netted (§52 Abs. 6 EEG 2023):

§52 Abs. 4 extra months: Nr. 7 (+3m), Nr. 9 (+1m), Nr. 10 (full calendar year), Nr. 12 (+6m). §52 Abs. 5 cap: multiple violations in the same month capped at €10/kW total.

§52 violation start tracking

einsd automatically tracks violation start dates:

  • On plant registration (POST /api/v1/anlagen): when mastr_registriert = false, sets mastr_violation_start = CURRENT_DATE if not already set.
  • On MaStR confirmation (POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/mastr-registrierung): clears mastr_violation_start = NULL, stopping penalty accrual.
  • In monthly settlement: cumulative monate_des_verstosses is computed from the start date → correct §52 Abs. 2 amount is charged from the first month of violation.

§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).

POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/settle/2024/6
Content-Type: application/json

{ "einspeisemenge_kwh": 850, "einspeisemanagement_kwh": 150 }

einsd adds a separate §13a EnWG position to the settlement:

  • Regular kWh: 850 × rate / 100
  • EInsMan compensation: 150 × AW / 100 (separate billing position)
  • Total: as if 1,000 kWh were fed in

Source: §13a EnWG (Redispatch 2.0, historically §15 EEG Härtefallregelung); §51 Abs. 1 EEG 2023 (curtailed kWh explicitly excluded).


§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).
  • Only one switch per calendar month is permitted (§21b / §21c EEG 2023).
  • Effective date must be the 1st of a calendar month.
POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/switch-veraeusserungsform
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "new_model": "MARKET_PREMIUM",
  "effective_date": "2026-08-01",
  "direktvermarkter_mp_id": "9910000000001",
  "direktverm_aw_ct": 6.28
}

Returns 422 Unprocessable Entity when:

  • PflichtgemasseDirektvermarktung — plant > 100 kW cannot revert
  • AlreadySwitchedThisMonth — switch already performed this calendar month

last_veraeusserungsform_switch is updated on success. All subsequent settlements use the new model.


§53b / §54 EEG 2023 — Regional and Auction Reductions

§53b — Regionale Grünstromkennzeichnung

BNetzA-certified grid areas receive a per-ct/kWh reduction on Einspeisevergütung. Applied automatically when the plant's grid_area matches a certified area in sect53b_reductions.

Register the plant's Netzgebiet when creating it:

{ ..., "grid_area": "DE-TN-001" }

The reduction is queried from sect53b_reductions during each settlement and passed as sect53b_regional_reduction_ct to eeg-billing.

§54 — Ausschreibungsreduzierung

BNetzA may reduce the awarded AW for Ausschreibungsanlagen. sect54_reductions stores per-plant BNetzA deductions. Applied automatically during settlement: effective_aw = direktverm_aw_ct − deduction_ct (floor 0).

Manage via direct DB insert (no API endpoint; BNetzA-driven):

INSERT INTO sect54_reductions (tr_id, tenant, deduction_ct_kwh, bnetza_ref, effective_from)
VALUES ('DE_TR_...', 'your-tenant', 0.50, 'BNetzA-54-2026-WIND-001', '2026-01-01');

§51a EEG 2023 — Verlängerungsanspruch (Förderzeitraum extension)

Every §51 reduction accrues an extension entitlement. Pass negative_price_quarter_hours explicitly, or let the auto-derivation (see §51 Negativpreisregel) supply it from the ¼h feed-in:

POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/settle/2024/6
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "einspeisemenge_kwh": 1000,
  "kwh_during_negative_epex": 80,
  "negative_price_quarter_hours": 12
}

einsd accrues the raw lost quarter-hours per plant in negative_price_qh_gesamt. The rounding is applied once over the 20-year total at settle time (never per month, which would over-count), and effektives_foerderende derives the extended end — the stored statutory foerderendedatum is left untouched:

  • 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).

Monthly Settlement

POST /api/v1/anlagen/DE0123456789.../settle/2024/6
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "einspeisemenge_kwh": 312.5,
  "kwh_during_negative_epex": 0,
  "negative_price_quarter_hours": 0,
  "einspeisemanagement_kwh": 0,
  "billing_days_fraction": null
}

billing_days_fraction is computed automatically (§25 Abs. 1 Satz 3) when null. Supply explicitly to override.

Response:

{
  "id": "3fa85f64-...", "billing_year": 2024, "billing_month": 6,
  "settlement_eur": 23.22, "faelligkeitsdatum": "2024-07-15", "status": "calculated",

      "kwh": 312.5, "rate_ct_kwh": 7.43, "eur": 23.22 }
  ]
}

faelligkeitsdatum = 15th of the following calendar month (§26 Abs. 1 EEG 2023: „monatlich jeweils zum 15. Kalendertag für den Vormonat“).

Batch Settlement

POST /api/v1/settle/2024/6
Content-Type: application/json

{ "dry_run": false }
{ "total_plants": 42, "settled": 39, "skipped_no_data": 2,
  "skipped_price_missing": 1, "total_settlement_eur": "4813.22" }

The monthly auto-settle background worker triggers daily (settles previous month on or after the 2nd — §26 EEG: payments due by 15th of following month).


§ 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:

  1. Snapshots the original receipt to settlement_receipt_history (immutable, § 147 AO / GoBD)
  2. Re-runs settlement with corrected inputs
  3. Stores is_correction = true and correction_of = <original_id> in the new receipt
CorrectionReasonUse case
MeterDataCorrectedCorrected Einspeisemenge after Zählernachlesung
TariffCorrectedWrong verguetungssatz_ct applied
MastrRegistrationConfirmedRetroactive §52 sanction removal after MaStR confirmed
CapacityCorrectedWrong leistung_kwp applied
RegulatoryReprocessingBNetzA ruling changed billing basis
FoerderendedatumCorrected§25 Abs. 1 Satz 2 date recalculated
OtherManual 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)"]
CaseExamplebilling_days_fraction
Commissioned June 15, 30-day month16 eligible days16/30 = 0.5333
Förderendedatum June 20, 30-day month20 eligible days20/30 = 0.6667
Full monthanynull (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 (§22 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 §22 EEG provisions. This endpoint models the most common full-repowering case. Always confirm the specific plant scenario with the applicable §22 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)

Co-located same-technology plants commissioned within 12 calendar months can be merged:

POST /api/v1/anlagen/{tr_id}/zusammenlegen
Content-Type: application/json

{ "parent_tr_id": "DE_PARENT_MAIN" }

Child → abgemeldet. Parent foerderendedatum unchanged. Update verguetungssatz_ct if the combined capacity crosses a rate band boundary.

§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 eeg_anlagen.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.

6 prompts: register-eeg-plant · settle-monthly · check-foerderung-expiry · ausschreibung-workflow · post-eeg-transition · anlagenerweiterung

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). See agentd operator guide for the full trigger→action mapping.
