Redispatch rules challenged

摘要

German power plant operators may sue against new redispatch rules set out by the federal grid regulator, German energy lobby group BDEW said November 8. "Instead of a fair and adequate compensation for essential grid-stabilizing redispatch measures, thermal power plants are burdened with disproportional high demands," BDEW Managing Director Hildegard Mueller said.Transmission system operators increasingly have to use redispatch measures (calling on thermal plant operators to adjust output at short notice) to ensure grid stability in the face of Germany's booming intermittent renewables sector.
