Options for a Fair Distribution of Electricity Grid Costs
About 20 participants from science, administration and interest groups participated in an interactive online workshop to explore options for the fair design of future grid tariffs in the context of the energy transition. The focus was on the discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of energy- and power-based grid tariffs and the implications of different time-of-use structures.
The Fair-Grid project by the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) and the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT) aims to contribute to research on the financing of electricity grids in connection with the transition to a renewable energy system. The challenge is to ensure a stable and economically efficient provision of grid services and to distribute the costs fairly among the various beneficiaries. The project is funded by the Austrian National Bank's Anniversary Fund.
