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 also inform Energie-Control Austria and 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 these bodies.

If all registration requirements are met, the balance group representative will receive the ‘Green Card’ and a copy of the contract, which has now been countersigned by APCS.

This contract must be submitted to Energie-Control Austria, which will then grant permission to participate in the Austrian electricity market.

Once Energie-Control Austria has given its approval, the balance group representative will be activated in the APG control area network.

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