EEG Direct Marketing Wind and Solar
Grid integration of wind and solar farms with EEG support
Integrate your EEG electricity securely and economically on the market through direct marketing
You operate or invest in wind plants or solar plants. Are you looking for a professional and experienced direct marketer for your renewable energies? We take over your direct marketing from a total volume of 10 MW (individual plants > 1 MW) and remunerate you in accordance with the contractual agreement.
At Vattenfall, we have been active in EEG direct marketing since 2012 and cover all processes of direct marketing of wind and direct marketing of solar under one roof - regardless of whether we take care of your wind power or your PV production.
What does EEG direct marketing offer you?
Direct marketing from a single source: With our many years of experience in the field of renewable energies, we make it very easy for you to integrate the electricity you produce from wind or solar energy into the European electricity market from 1 MW per individual system. You can rely on fast and secure processes, for example for electricity revenue credits or processes with grid operators. We cover both the direct marketing of PV electricity and the direct marketing of wind energy.
24/7 market access
Our teams of experts ensure that the EEG electricity generated is optimally sold on the trading platforms via our market access, which is available around the clock every day. As your EEG direct marketer, Vattenfall bears the marketing risks, and the high credit rating of our company - 100% owned by the Swedish state - minimises the economic risk for you as the operator.
Service portfolio direct marketing of solar power and wind power
We create generation forecasts and reliably implement the remote controllability of the systems. Attractive additional services are available to you on request: For example, we support you as a direct marketer with marketing channels outside the market premium design, develop supply solutions for the own electricity requirements of EEG plants or direct marketing in other European countries.
Flexible contract design
When working with you, we attach great importance to fair and fair contractual conditions. For example, you can agree individual terms in line with your financing requirements and market expectations.
How does direct marketing work?
Based on your plant types and locations, we draw up a contract for your EEG direct marketing and register your plants with the grid operator.
As a rule, the grid operator pays the market premium for the plants without a fixed feed-in tariff directly to the operating company within the framework of the two-stream model. If desired, the single-stream model can also be agreed upon for a fee, so that the market premium payment is made by Vattenfall.
Furthermore, we offer additional optional services such as load profile data dispatch, electronic invoice dispatch, peak billing procedure, Section 51 (1) EEG hedging, group guarantee and remote control tests. If REMIT transaction reports are legally required for your plant, we will take care of them free of charge.
Who benefits from direct marketing?
Vattenfall offers operators, investors and managers of EEG-eligible plants comprehensive services for the market integration of wind and solar power. From a total volume of 10 MW and for individual plants from 1 MW, Vattenfall is happy to take over the direct marketing of the EEG electricity for you.

<span class="h3">Did you already know?</span>
In direct marketing, electricity from renewable energies is sold directly, for example via the market premium model on the EEX power exchange. A distinction is made between the mandatory direct marketing of new plants and the optional direct marketing of existing plants.
New plants that were put into operation on or after 1 January 2016 and have an installed capacity of at least 100 kW must market their electricity directly (Section 20 EEG 2021). In addition, these systems must be remotely controllable. Existing plants can easily switch to direct marketing and return to the usual remuneration model on a monthly basis.
The market premium is paid out by the distribution network operator. In addition, the plant operator receives the exchange revenue from the direct marketer as the average monthly market value of the corresponding energy source (wind, solar). The sum of the market premium and the market value is at least equal to the fixed feed-in tariff.
The market premium model ensures the plant operator a revenue at least equal to the fixed feed-in tariff. It consists of the market value, which is paid out by the direct marketer, and the market premium, which is paid out by the distribution grid operator. The market premium compensates for the difference between the current market value and the plant-specific subsidy amount.
