The German Peak Adjustment Efficiency System Ordinance is a statutory ordinance of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology from 2013. It specifies the conditions under which tax relief is granted for certain companies in special cases.
Energy-intensive companies in the manufacturing industry receive part of the electricity and energy taxes they have paid back via the so-called peak compensation . Since January 1, 2013, they have to provide evidence of operational energy management. The peak compensation efficiency system ordinance specifies the requirements for this environmental and energy management.
The SpaEfV regulates the following three issues:
- Requirements for alternative systems to improve energy efficiency
- Requirements for proof of the start and completion of the introduction
- Authority of the bodies named in the Energy and Electricity Act to monitor and control ( Section 1 SpaEfV)
With this regulation, the ministry wanted to create a means for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to meet the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard for corporate energy management . At this point, the European Commission's definition of SMEs is used. The ordinance distinguishes between the introductory phase (2013 and 2014, Section 5 SpaEfV) and the standard procedure (from 2015, Section 4 SpaEfV).
