Deviation of the delivery point

Deviation of the delivery point is the difference between the planned daily diagram of electricity consumption and the actual electricity consumption at a specific delivery point. The daily diagram is prepared for each delivery point a day in advance and is sent to the balance entity, often the electricity supplier. The sum of all deviations for delivery points under a single balancing entity constitutes the total deviation for that balancing entity.

Deviations of the delivery points are crucial for effective management of energy flows and ensuring the stability of the electricity grid. Accurate planning and monitoring of these deviations help minimize financial losses and enhance the reliability of electricity supply.
