The most significant item under deferred income and accrued expenses is an advance fee amounting to Euro 11 540 thousand received for the incineration of waste in conjunction with the takeover of an energy from waste plant by Energieversorgung Offenbach AG (previous year: Euro 14 256 thousand).

To reduce the counterparty risk involved in highly fluctuating fair values of energy trading derivatives, security deposits (margins) are exchanged with the EEX. Moreover, the Group has also entered into bilateral risk reduction agreements in some cases. There were no longer any liabilities for security deposits as of the balance sheet date (previous year: Euro 44 386 thousand).
