Around 1,800 customers of Osthessen Netz in Fulda have now received penalty notices. Anyone who has not complied with the obligation to register in 2023 will now be hit hard.
The penalty of ten euros per month per kilowatt peak will be due. The only consolation: Anyone who registers later will receive 80 percent of the fine refunded. However, this will only happen at the beginning of 2025 with the annual billing for the current calendar year. And it is not the case that the energy supplier benefits financially from the payments. Because according to RhönEnergie Dr. Volker Nies, the penalties will flow into the federal EEG pot.
