New definition of protected customers

As the BDEW has already informed on its homepage here, the amendment of Section 53a in the EnWG was decided at the end of June 2021. This expanded the definition of protected customers. For the upcoming internal order, we would therefore like to ask you, as the downstream network operator, to use the new definition when determining the proportion of protected customers.
