What we need from you
What we do
AUX · Auxiliary services
The electricity supplies for the plant’s auxiliary generation services can be managed as such, with their specific features on the invoice. An engineer or a qualified technician draws up a sworn expert report certifying that the exemption can be accessed and that the POD actually serves the plant, wholly or in part. Once the documentation has been sent to the grid operator or to Terna, as for any consumer we issue the requests for quotation, settle supplier and contract, and check that the exemption from transport and system charges is correctly applied on the invoice.
UPSA
These are necessary steps. EKA supports you along the way.
Guarantees of origin
One guarantee for every MWh fed into the grid by a qualified plant, valid for 12 months from the month it refers to. With a mandate of representation we organise an RFQ, request for quotation, among the best European buyers, also on platforms such as GreenPowerHub or similar; then we check transfers and invoices every month.
Deadlines
For the UPSA, the end of 2026, under ARERA resolution 109/2021; for guarantees of origin, the 12 months of each one. We remind you in good time.

The regulations behind the service
Article 16 of the TIT established the exemption from system charges and transport services on the invoice for the consumption of auxiliary supplies serving production plants. With resolution 109/2021 this arrangement was superseded and, through a specific adjustment, auxiliary services must, by 31 December 2026, be configured as UPSA (Production Units for Auxiliary Services). Following the qualification, the producer can benefit from the exemption from any other charge and/or tax on the invoice, except the plain price of the energy consumed set by the supply contract.
