Are you paying too much electricity tax and surcharges?
Electricity tax relief, EnFG surcharge limitation, BECV aid - which relief paths apply to your company depends on sector, consumption and electricity cost intensity. Our check indicatively assesses your situation.
Do you recognize your situation?
High-consumption manufacturer
Above 1 GWh electricity consumption, significant reliefs apply - peak equalisation, §9b refund and EnFG limitation can add up to over €100k p.a.
Agriculture & Forestry
Flat-rate relief under §9c StromStG - simple application, often underutilised. Plus EnFG limitation for intensive use.
Electricity-intensive services
Data centres, hospitals and cold storage can also benefit from the Special Equalisation Scheme and BECV under certain conditions.
Systematically check relief paths
The relief landscape for electricity-intensive companies covers at least three independent frameworks: the Electricity Tax Act (StromStG), the Energy Financing Act (EnFG) and the BEHG Carbon Leakage Ordinance (BECV). Whether and to what extent reliefs apply depends on sector, consumption level and electricity cost intensity.
Our relief check matches your inputs rule-based against current requirements and indicatively shows which paths are likely relevant, and where a detailed review makes sense.
What you need for the check
- Sector classification
- Approximate annual consumption
- Electricity cost intensity estimate
- Exact consumption data / load profile
- Gross value added figures
- NACE code / economic classification
Prefer to discuss directly?
Our advisors assess your relief options in a conversation - non-binding and confidential.
Rule-based initial assessment
The relief check matches your inputs against the current statutory requirements of the Electricity Tax Act, the Energy Financing Act and the BECV. The mapping is rule-based - not AI-interpreted.
For a binding statement, a case-by-case review is required, taking into account exact consumption data, gross value added figures and the NACE classification.
- Specific relief amounts require exact consumption data
- Electricity cost intensity must be documented with GVA data
- BECV applications require carbon leakage list membership
- Application deadlines are programme-specific and must be verified
