Registration

Balance group representative (BGR)

The forms published on our website are for information purposes only.
To register and proceed with the next steps, please contact our clearing team directly (office@apcs.at).

  • Form B signed by the company
  • Form C signed by the company
  • Form G signed by the company
  • Extract from the commercial register (issued no more than 3 months ago; for companies based outside Austria, notarised and, if necessary, translated into German or English)
  • SEPA business-to-business direct debit mandate – the SEPA business-to-business direct debit mandate will be sent to you by APCS after receipt of your registration documents.
  • Forecast annual energy turnover of the BG

After submission, APCS checks the applications for completeness and formal errors; the registration data is entered into the clearing platform and the access data is sent to the applicant.

APCS informs the applicant of the amount of collateral to be deposited and sends them a contract in duplicate, which must be signed by the company and returned to APCS. Furthermore, a SEPA business-to-business direct debit mandate in favour of APCS must be issued and the required collateral must be deposited.

Proof of fulfilment of the technical requirements is also necessary. Data tests have been developed for this purpose, which we will carry out together with you.

The applicant should inform the control area manager Austrian Power Grid AG of their intended registration as a balance group representative, as certain requirements must also be met by this body.

If all registration requirements are met, a copy of the contract, now countersigned by APCS, will be sent to the balance group representative.

The balance group representative will then be published in the BGR register in accordance with Section 14 (2) ElWG and will be entitled to participate in the electricity market.

Market entry will take place on the first day of the following month.
