What is CHP surcharge 2026??

The KWKG (Combined Heat and Power Act) grants surcharges per fed into the grid and self-consumed CHP kilowatt-hour; amount and duration depend on power class and commissioning date — check current values with BAFA, as funding conditions change periodically.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Determination of the surcharge amount based on the installed useful power (kWth/kWel).
  • Identification of the duration guarantee for the CHP surcharge according to the current funding period.
  • Reconciliation of the self-consumption share to optimise the profitability calculation.
  • Verification of eligibility for funding by comparison with the current BAFA guidelines.
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: if the CHP unit is running past the heat or past the price, profitability decreases, contribution margin is wasted every hour. The AI: identifies the declining key figure early and suggests an operating mode that fits both price and heat. It detects the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

A precise calculation of the CHP surcharge secures the amortisation period and the long-term profitability of the CHP operation. The correct classification of the funding amount minimises the risk of revenue losses due to miscalculations. Regular checking of BAFA parameters ensures compliance with current legal requirements. electrical power (kW) · thermal power (kW) → — σ (electricity key figure) Calculation: electrical ÷ thermal power
