APG energy management platform

APG determines the minimum load coverage potential in the APG control area on a rolling daily basis for the next seven days. If a serious, negative load coverage potential (load shortfall situation) is identified during this calculation, this can lead to the issue of an ordinance on measures as stipulated in the EnLG.

In the event that restrictions of large consumers become necessary, a platform has been created to avoid unnecessary economic damage to the affected large consumers.

Large consumers should not be restricted by a certain percentage of their consumption. Instead, it should be possible to prioritise the potential savings in two ways.

APG's energy steering platform was developed for the transfer of savings potential. This platform is used to create and publish potential enquiries in the event that energy reduction measures are required. All major consumers called upon to submit potential savings are informed of the publication of one or more potential enquiries.

Before logging on to the platform for the first time, the ‘General Terms of Use for Access to the Electronic Energy Steering Platform of Austrian Power Grid AG’ (German only) must be read and accepted.

Information on the submission of potential savings and further information on the process of potential enquiries can be found in the user manual of the energy steering platform.
