PV Austria calls for better network tariffs for storage

PV Austria has spoken up, calling for improved network tariffs for storage systems and flexible consumers. The background is that current tariff models in many cases do not yet adequately reflect the operation of battery storage systems and flexible loads.

For members of energy communities, this is relevant because storage systems are increasingly seen as a building block for balancing generation and consumption within the community. If storage usage becomes more attractive in terms of network tariffs, the entry barrier for community storage projects drops significantly. Until concrete adjustments are made, however, the economic assessment of such projects remains associated with uncertainty.

The debate is part of the ongoing discussion about fair network tariff structures for decentralized generation in Austria.
