APCS - Home Registration Print page Registration Become a market participant You can participate in the liberalized Austrian electricity market at any time. The only requirement to become active as a dealer or supplier is registration with APCS, Energie-Control Austria and Austrian Power Grid AG . The APCS staff will accompany you during your registration process, train you and work with you to set up all the necessary steps in the system. Contact Person 1st step - application for registration In order to be able to act as an independent electricity trader in the APG control area, domestic and foreign interested parties must first register with APCS as balance group managers (BGM) and set up a balance group (BG). The applicant should also inform Energie-Control Austria and the control area manager Austrian Power Grid AG about the intended approval as a balance group manager, as certain requirements must also be met with these bodies. 2nd step - application processing After submission, the applications are checked by APCS for completeness and formal errors and the registration data is also entered in our database. 3rd step - calculation of collateral The transmitted business reports and the extract from the commercial register are passed on to Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG , which carries out the credit check and handles risk management. APCS informs the applicant about the amount of the collateral to be deposited and sends him a contract in duplicate, which must be signed and sent back to APCS. Furthermore, a direct debit authorization must be issued in favor of APCS and the required securities must be deposited. 4th step - data test Proof of compliance with the technical requirements for registration is also required; data tests have been developed for this purpose, which we carry out together with you. 5th step - Green Card and activation If the applicant has met all the requirements for registering as a balance group representative, he will receive the “Green Card” and a copy of the contract that has now been countersigned by APCS. This contract must be submitted by the applicant to Energie-Control Austria, which grants permission to participate in the Austrian electricity market. After a positive decision from Energie-Control Austria, you will be activated as the balance group manager in the network of the APG control area. Market entry can only take place on the first of the month.
