Why do you need Redispatch 3.0?

[suchona.kani.z]

The discrepancy between remuneration and financial compensation leads to losses. There is also a lack of transparent communication between the DSOs, which makes the implementation of Redispatch 2.0 non-transparent and leads to delays.

Although the current implementation of Redispatch 2.0 has not been without criticism, it is important to emphasize that this mechanism makes an essential contribution to ensuring system security. The difficulties described could be successfully overcome through targeted adjustments to the processes involved.


Redispatch 2.0 has already brought about useful changes, but there is still a need for regulation of renewable energy and consumption. The reasons are as follows:

1. Lack of power plant capacity: Due to the shutdown of nuclear bolivia consumer email list​ and coal-fired power plants in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria alone, southern Germany lacks a flexible power plant capacity of around 7.7 gigawatts. This lack of power plant capacity could be solved by electricity from wind power in the north.
2. Lack of grid capacity: The planned electricity highways from north to south are not yet completed and are being delayed. A logical consequence is therefore to use existing and future technologies and not wait for the grid to be expanded.
3. New players: The electrification of the heating and transport sectors is significantly increasing the number of producers and consumers in the range of less than 100 kW nominal output. Due in particular to the energy crisis, sales of heat pumps increased by 53% in 2022 compared to the previous year. Electric cars and home battery storage are also experiencing strong growth. These three technologies are increasing the demand for electricity and at the same time opening up new opportunities.
This is where Redispatch 3.0 comes in and tries to use the flexibility potential of these small and micro systems to stabilize the power grid. The cost-based regulation of Redispatch 2.0 is not to be changed or even abolished, but rather a complementary construct is to be created. Redispatch 3.0 is intended to create a market in which electric cars, home battery storage and heat pumps can participate. Owners of small and micro systems who decide to connect their system to the market can hope for additional revenue.
