The investigation covers grid expansion and grid expansion costs (system-related costs) by region: it is examined in which regions grid expansion (transmission networks and distribution networks) primarily takes place.
In addition, an analysis is made of the distribution of costs (microeconomic costs) for three areas:
The objective is to show how the costs are passed on from the network operators to the electricity consumers, which alternatives exist and who ultimately bears the main share of the costs (electricity consumer, region etc.).
