When setting tariffs for electric energy transmission services for 2008 and subsequent years, tariff rates are determined taking into account the need to ensure equality of tariffs for electric energy transmission services for all consumers of services located on the territory of the relevant constituent entity of the Russian Federation and belonging to the same group (category) from among those for which the legislation of the Russian Federation provides for differentiation of tariffs for electrical energy (power). By decision of the federal executive body on tariffs, adopted at the request of the authorized executive bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the field of state regulation of tariffs, this norm can be applied when setting tariffs for 2007.
Settlements under the agreement concluded by territorial grid organizations in accordance with this section are carried out at the tariff for services for the transmission of electrical energy, which is determined in accordance with the methodological instructions approved by the federal executive body on tariffs in relation to each of the parties to such an agreement and is individual in nature. In this case, the expenses of the territorial network organization for payment for the services provided in accordance with the specified agreement are included in the economically justified expenses taken into account when setting the tariff for services for the transmission of electrical energy for other consumers of its services, and the income of the other party to the specified agreement from the services provided by it under this agreement and income from services for the transmission of electrical energy provided to other consumers must in total provide the necessary gross revenue of this organization.
III. The procedure for accessing electrical networks in conditions of their limited capacity30. When connecting to the electrical network and concluding an agreement, any consumer of services is assigned the right to receive electrical energy during any period of time during which the agreement is valid within the limits of the connected capacity determined by the agreement, the quality and parameters of which must comply with technical regulations and other mandatory requirements.
When accessing services for the transmission of electrical energy in conditions of limited capacity of electrical networks, the possibility of charging additional fees is excluded.
31. Restriction of the right to receive electrical energy is possible only in the event of a deviation from the normal operating modes of the electrical network caused by emergencies and (or) the removal of electrical power facilities for repairs or out of operation and leading to a power shortage.
At the same time, the limitation of electrical energy consumption is carried out in accordance with acts of approval of emergency and technological armor.
32. The capacity of the electrical network is determined according to the design scheme of the Unified Energy System of Russia, developed by the system operator together with the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical network, taking into account the forecast balances of electrical energy and power. When carrying out such calculations, repair schedules for main generating equipment (agreed with generating companies), equipment for electrical substations and power lines, and power receiving equipment for electrical energy consumers with a controlled load are also taken into account.
The system operator and the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical grid communicate to market participants information about the limitations of the capacity of the electrical network, including the results of these calculations.
IV. The procedure for setting tariffs for electric energy transmission services, providing for taking into account the degree of use of power of the electric network33. Tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy are established taking into account the use by consumers of these services of the power of the electrical network to which they are directly technologically connected.
34. The consumer of services must notify the network organization at least 6 months before the next period of tariff regulation about the amount of declared capacity for the coming calendar year, which reflects the degree of use of power of the electrical network by the consumer of services.
The amount of declared power is determined in relation to each point of connection and cannot exceed the maximum connected power at the corresponding point of connection to the network of this service consumer.
In the absence of the specified notification about the value of the declared power, when setting tariffs, the value of the maximum connected power of the power receiving device (power installation) of the service consumer is accepted.
When determining the basis for setting tariffs for the next regulation period, the grid organization has the right to use in relation to consumers of services that systematically exceed the amount of declared power, the amount of power declared by the consumer for the next regulation period or the actual amount of power used for the past period.
35. Tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy are established in accordance with the principles of pricing for electrical and thermal energy in the Russian Federation and the rules of state regulation and application of tariffs for electrical and thermal energy in the Russian Federation, taking into account paragraph 34 of these Rules.
Taking into account the degree of power utilization of the electric network when determining the tariff for electric energy transmission services is carried out in accordance with the methodological instructions approved by the federal executive body on tariffs.
V. The procedure for determining losses in electrical networks and paying for these losses36. Actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks are defined as the difference between the volume of electrical energy supplied to the electrical network from other networks or from electrical energy producers, and the volume of electrical energy consumed by power receiving devices connected to this network, as well as transmitted to other networks organizations.
37. Grid organizations are obliged to compensate for actual losses of electrical energy that occurred in their network facilities, minus the losses included in the price of electrical energy.
38. Consumers of services, with the exception of producers of electrical energy, are required to pay, as part of the fee for services for the transmission of electrical energy, regulatory losses arising during the transmission of electrical energy through the network of a network organization with which the relevant persons have concluded an agreement, with the exception of losses included in the price (tariff) for electrical energy, in order to avoid double metering. Consumers of services pay for losses of electrical energy in excess of the standard if it is proven that the losses arose due to the fault of these consumers of services.
39. The amount of electrical energy losses in electrical networks, which is included in the fee for services for the transmission of electrical energy, is determined based on the standard for electrical energy losses. Loss standards are established by the authorized federal executive body in accordance with these Rules and the methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks.
40. Standards for losses of electrical energy in electrical networks are established in relation to the totality of power transmission lines and other electrical grid facilities belonging to the relevant network organization, taking into account differentiation by network voltage levels when setting tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy.
41. The methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks should provide for the calculation of losses based on:
technical characteristics of power lines and other power grid facilities that determine the amount of variable losses in accordance with the technology of transmission and conversion of electrical energy;
standard conditionally constant losses for power lines, power transformers and other power grid facilities;
standard losses in electrical energy measuring instruments.
When establishing standards, the technical condition of power lines and other power grid facilities may also be taken into account.
42. The organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical network purchases electrical energy in order to compensate for losses in its networks on the wholesale electrical energy market.
Territorial grid organizations and other owners of electric grid facilities included in the unified national (all-Russian) electric grid, if they are not subjects of the wholesale electric energy (power) market, purchase electric energy in order to compensate for losses in their networks on the retail electric power market. energy under a purchase and sale (supply) agreement for electrical energy concluded with a guaranteeing supplier (energy sales organization) operating in the territory where the relevant electrical networks are located.

A break in the transmission of electrical energy, termination or restriction of the transmission of electrical energy is allowed by agreement of the parties, except in cases where the unsatisfactory condition of the energy receiving device (power installation) of the service consumer, certified by the authorized federal executive body for technological supervision, threatens an accident or poses a threat to life and security. The network organization is obliged to notify the service consumer about the interruption, termination or limitation of the transmission of electrical energy under these circumstances within 3 days from the date of such a decision, but no later than 24 hours before the introduction of these measures.
III. The procedure for accessing electrical networks in conditions of their limited capacity30. When connecting to the electrical network and concluding an agreement, any consumer of services is assigned the right to receive electrical energy during any period of time during which the agreement is valid within the limits of the connected capacity determined by the agreement, the quality and parameters of which must comply with technical regulations and other mandatory requirements.
When accessing services for the transmission of electrical energy in conditions of limited capacity of electrical networks, the possibility of charging additional fees is excluded.
31. Restriction of the right to receive electrical energy is possible only in the event of a deviation from the normal operating modes of the electrical network caused by emergencies and (or) the removal of electrical power facilities for repairs or out of operation and leading to a power shortage.
At the same time, the limitation of electrical energy consumption is carried out in accordance with acts of approval of emergency and technological armor.
32. The capacity of the electrical network is determined according to the design scheme of the Unified Energy System of Russia, developed by the system operator together with the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical network, taking into account the forecast balances of electrical energy and power. When carrying out such calculations, repair schedules for main generating equipment (agreed with generating companies), equipment for electrical substations and power lines, and power receiving equipment for electrical energy consumers with a controlled load are also taken into account.
The system operator and the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical grid communicate to market participants information about the limitations of the capacity of the electrical network, including the results of these calculations.
IV. The procedure for setting tariffs for electric energy transmission services, providing for taking into account the degree of use of power of the electric network33. Tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy are established taking into account the use by consumers of these services of the power of the electrical network to which they are directly technologically connected.
34. The consumer of services must notify the network organization at least 6 months before the next period of tariff regulation about the amount of declared capacity for the coming calendar year, which reflects the degree of use of power of the electrical network by the consumer of services.
The amount of declared power is determined in relation to each point of connection and cannot exceed the maximum connected power at the corresponding point of connection to the network of this service consumer.
In the absence of the specified notification about the value of the declared power, when setting tariffs, the value of the maximum connected power of the power receiving device (power installation) of the service consumer is accepted.
When determining the basis for setting tariffs for the next regulation period, the grid organization has the right to use in relation to consumers of services that systematically exceed the amount of declared power, the amount of power declared by the consumer for the next regulation period or the actual amount of power used for the past period.
35. Tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy are established in accordance with the principles of pricing for electrical and thermal energy in the Russian Federation and the rules of state regulation and application of tariffs for electrical and thermal energy in the Russian Federation, taking into account paragraph 34 of these Rules.
Taking into account the degree of power utilization of the electric network when determining the tariff for electric energy transmission services is carried out in accordance with the methodological instructions approved by the federal executive body on tariffs.
V. The procedure for determining losses in electrical networks and paying for these losses36. Actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks are defined as the difference between the volume of electrical energy supplied to the electrical network from other networks or from electrical energy producers, and the volume of electrical energy consumed by power receiving devices connected to this network, as well as transmitted to other networks organizations.
37. Grid organizations are obliged to compensate for actual losses of electrical energy that occurred in their network facilities, minus the losses included in the price of electrical energy.
38. Consumers of services, with the exception of producers of electrical energy, are required to pay, as part of the fee for services for the transmission of electrical energy, regulatory losses arising during the transmission of electrical energy through the network of a network organization with which the relevant persons have concluded an agreement, with the exception of losses included in the price (tariff) for electrical energy, in order to avoid double metering. Consumers of services pay for losses of electrical energy in excess of the standard if it is proven that the losses arose due to the fault of these consumers of services.
39. The amount of electrical energy losses in electrical networks, which is included in the fee for services for the transmission of electrical energy, is determined based on the standard for electrical energy losses. Loss standards are established by the authorized federal executive body in accordance with these Rules and the methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks.
40. Standards for losses of electrical energy in electrical networks are established in relation to the totality of power transmission lines and other electrical grid facilities belonging to the relevant network organization, taking into account differentiation by network voltage levels when setting tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy.
41. The methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks should provide for the calculation of losses based on:
technical characteristics of power lines and other power grid facilities that determine the amount of variable losses in accordance with the technology of transmission and conversion of electrical energy;
standard conditionally constant losses for power lines, power transformers and other power grid facilities;
standard losses in electrical energy measuring instruments.
When establishing standards, the technical condition of power lines and other power grid facilities may also be taken into account.
42. Network organizations buy electrical energy in order to compensate for electrical energy losses in their networks:
on the wholesale electricity market;
if the grid organization is not a participant in the wholesale electricity market, - on the retail electricity market at the place of its activity.
VI. The procedure for provision and disclosure by network organizations of information on the capacity of electrical networks, their technical characteristics and the cost of services for the transmission of electrical energy43. Information about the capacity of electrical networks and their technical characteristics is disclosed by the network organization in accordance with the standards for the disclosure of information by subjects of the wholesale and retail electricity markets.
44. The network organization discloses information on the technical characteristics of electrical networks quarterly no later than 30 working days from the end of the quarter.
45. The network organization is obliged to provide information on the availability of capacity of electrical networks and on the cost of services for the transmission of electrical energy upon request (in writing) of the service consumer.
46. The requested information must be provided within 7 days from the date of receipt of the request with reimbursement by the service consumer of the costs of its provision actually incurred by the network organization.
47. Documents containing the requested information must be prepared in accordance with the established procedure by network organizations.
48. The grid organization is responsible for the timeliness, completeness and reliability of the information provided and disclosed in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
VII. The procedure for considering applications (complaints) regarding the provision of access to services for the transmission of electrical energy and making decisions on these applications (complaints) that are binding on legal entities and individuals49. The basis for initiating and considering cases on issues of providing access to services for the transmission of electrical energy, making decisions and issuing orders by the antimonopoly body are statements of government authorities or statements (complaints) of legal entities and individuals.
50. The application (complaint) must contain information about the applicant and the person against whom the application (complaint) was filed, a description of the violation of the requirements of these Rules, as well as the demands that the applicant is making.
51. The antimonopoly authority considers the application (complaint) within a month from the date of its receipt.
In case of insufficiency or absence of evidence allowing one to come to a conclusion about the presence or absence of signs of violation of the requirements of these Rules, the antimonopoly authority has the right to collect and analyze additional evidence to extend the period for consideration of the application (complaint) to 3 months from the date of its receipt. The antimonopoly authority is obliged to notify the applicant in writing about the extension of the period for consideration of the application (complaint).
52. If there are no signs of violation of the requirements of these Rules and antimonopoly legislation, the antimonopoly authority notifies the applicant in writing within 10 days from the date of the decision.
53. Cases of violations of antimonopoly legislation are considered by the antimonopoly authority in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Technological connection- a mandatory condition for connecting electricity to the consumer
Connecting electricity to the consumer becomes possible only after such a mandatory procedure as technological connection- and all electrical appliances and equipment are subject to it. It is worth noting that such work must be carried out in accordance with the regulations specified in the current regulations and carried out by qualified companies. Unauthorized connection is illegal and can have serious consequences for the offender. Let's look at all the intricacies of technological connection.
What is technological
According to current government rules, such a thing as technological connection to electrical networks is a set of measures aimed at supplying electricity to consumer equipment from electrical networks. This procedure is carried out not only for new energy-receiving devices, but also for those whose technical characteristics have been changed (this could be changes in power supply circuits or a change in connection points).
In what cases is it not necessary to repeat connection to electrical networks
When an object that is already a registered consumer of electrical energy changes its owner, then connection to electrical networks not required if two conditions are met:
- the previous owner made an authorized connection of all energy equipment in accordance with the current regulations;
- the new owner’s activities do not require changes to the facility’s electricity supply schemes.
In this case, the new owner must notify the network organization supplying electricity about the transfer of ownership rights to this facility.
How is technological connection to electrical networks
As a rule, the process connection procedure is carried out in five stages:
- Application for connection to electrical networks.
- An agreement is concluded, to which technical conditions are attached.
- The parties to the agreement fulfill all its terms.
- Based on the results of the merger, all necessary acts are drawn up.
- An object connected to the power grid receives permission to operate.
All of the above activities are regulated by relevant government regulations.
Why is it so important to consider
If you want to connect an object to the power supply system, you will have to take everything into account rules for technological connection to electrical networks- only in this case the connection will have legal grounds. The professionals of the Center for Energy Solutions and Innovations (http://website) will not only help you understand all the nuances of this procedure, but will also perform all the necessary work with high quality

11. Answers to frequently asked questions about technological connection problems
1. Question: I submitted documents to connect my house to the electrical grid to the Network Organization. After 2 weeks, we were informed that our documents had been sent to a Private Network Company, but there were no lines from the Network Organization in our area. The Private Network Company charges a huge amount of money for connecting a house to a power line for each connected kW and increases the tariffs for paying for electrical energy. What should we do in this situation?Answer: You need to determine the distance from the boundaries of your land plot to the nearest power grid facility of the Grid organization. If this distance is 300 meters or more, then the Network Organization did the right thing. If the distance is less than 300 meters, then the Network organization unreasonably avoids concluding an agreement with you and you have the right to appeal its actions in the prescribed manner.
A private network organization does not have the right to independently determine the cost of technological connection to its electrical networks, as well as the cost of services for the transmission of electrical energy through its networks. These tariffs are subject to state regulation and their amounts are established by government bodies authorized to regulate tariffs. Moreover, if the power you declare is up to 15 kW inclusive, the cost of technological connection for you should not exceed 550 rubles.
If a private network organization independently determines the cost of technological connection and prices for electric energy transmission services, it violates the law, including antimonopoly law. You have the right to appeal the actions of the Private Network Organization in accordance with the established procedure.
2. Question: I submitted an application for technological connection to electrical networks to the Network Organization. Due to the lack of response from the Network Organization, I wrote a letter to the Network Organization with a complaint about the delay in the procedure for drawing up the contract. In response to the complaint, I received a letter with an offer to enter into an agreement with a suspensive condition, according to which the implementation of measures by the Grid organization will be carried out within 6 months from the date of entry into force of the regulatory act of the executive authority in the field of tariff regulation, including the shortfall in income of the network organization from connection power receiving devices with a maximum power not exceeding 15 kW inclusive, in the tariff for the provision of services for the transmission of electrical energy.
Answer: This is a gross violation on the part of the Network organization. The grid organization is obliged to conclude an agreement with you and carry out measures for technological connection within the established time frame, regardless of when the decision of the regulatory body on compensation for the outstanding expenses of the Grid organization is made and comes into force.
3. Question: I submitted an application to the Network Organization, received an agreement on technological connection and technical conditions. Due to the fact that the agreement did not comply with the Technological Connection Rules, I sent a request to the Network Organization to correct this agreement and bring it into compliance with the law. To which I received a verbal refusal. Are the actions of the Network Organization legal?
Answer: If the Grid organization receives from the applicant a refusal to sign an agreement due to the fact that it does not comply with the law, the Grid organization is obliged to bring the draft agreement into compliance with the Technological Connection Rules within 5 working days from the date of receipt of such a request and submit a new version to the applicant draft agreement for signing. The refusal of the Network organization in such a situation is unlawful.
4. Question: I submitted an application for technological connection of a 4 kW facility to the Network Organization. For 3 months I constantly called the Network Organization and received the same answer: “Your application is under review.” After I contacted the Network Organization’s website, I received an answer stating that the processing time for applications for the issuance of technical specifications is up to 40 days, but due to the workload of specialists, the terms may be increased. Ultimately, they refused to issue me technical specifications due to the overload of the substation.
Answer: The network organization was obliged to send you a completed and signed draft agreement and technical conditions no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of your application. The actions of the Network Organization to delay sending you the specified documents are unlawful.
In addition, the Grid Organization does not have the right to refuse you to make a technological connection due to the workload of the substation. You have the right to appeal the actions of the Network Organization in accordance with the established procedure.
5. Question: I cannot get consent from my neighbor to connect to the power line, which he partially pulled, since he demands a considerable amount. Does the state somehow regulate this issue, what amount can it ask from us?
Answer: You are not required to obtain consent from your neighbor to connect to the power line that he partially pulled. You must submit an application for technological connection to the Network Organization. The network organization is obliged to independently resolve all issues with indirect connection through your neighbor’s facilities. If the Network Organization is unable to resolve issues with your neighbor, it is obliged to carry out technological connection in another way.
Moreover, if the power you connect is up to 15 kW inclusive, you pay no more than 550 rubles.
Your neighbor has no right to demand that you pay him money. If the technological connection is carried out indirectly, through the facilities of your neighbor, he will not have the right to interfere with the flow of electrical energy and will not have the right to demand payment for this. If the owner of the electric grid facilities through which indirect technological connection is carried out wishes to receive a remuneration for this, he must contact the regulatory tariff authority, which will set a tariff for the services provided. At the same time, he will be assigned all the obligations that are imposed by law on a network organization.
This conclusion follows from the Rules for non-discriminatory access to services for the transmission of electrical energy, the Rules for technological connection, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2004 No. 861.
6. Question: Does the network organization have the right to demand that I pay for the technological connection (this was the demand of the employees of the client department) before I receive the draft agreement on technological connection and the draft technical conditions?
Answer: The network organization does not have the right to require you to pay for technological connection before you receive the draft agreement and technical conditions, since the agreement has not yet been concluded with you. The agreement on technological connection is considered concluded from the moment the Grid Organization receives the agreement signed by the applicant. Only after this do you have obligations to pay for the technological connection.
7. Question: The Director of the Grid Organization signed my application for technical conditions for connecting a 3 kW facility and sent me to the LLC company with the words “he will solve all other issues.” The LLC company entered into an agreement with me to carry out design work and an agreement to carry out installation work and their approval. The total cost of work under the contracts is more than 60,000 rubles. Are the actions of the Network Organization and LLC legal?
Answer: The applicant independently determines which organization will carry out design and installation work within the boundaries of its site (of course, by agreement with such an organization and in the event that such work needs to be carried out). Design and installation work for the applicant can be performed by any organization that is engaged in these types of activities. If the Network Organization imposes on the applicant a specific company that will perform design and installation work for the applicant, such actions are unlawful. For coordinated actions of the Network Organization and other persons that lead to restriction of competition and infringement of the interests of consumers of technological connection services, the antimonopoly legislation establishes the most stringent liability.
8. Question: I need to connect an 8 kW facility to electrical networks. Are the actions of the Network Organization legal, which requires me to pay the cost of technological connection in the amount of 4,400 rubles, plus VAT, at the rate of 550 rubles. for every kW of power?
Answer: The actions of the Network Organization are illegal. In this case, the cost of technological connection as a whole should not exceed 550 rubles. Moreover, if you are an individual, VAT is already included in this price.
9. Question: The distance from the border of my land plot to the nearest support of the Network organization is about 6 meters, and the declared maximum power is 5 kW.
When submitting an application for technological connection, I was asked to use a standard modular scheme. In response to my remark, the representative of the Network Organization replied that the approved schemes would come later and this issue would be resolved at the stage of preparing the contract and technical specifications.
Later, I was called to the office of the Network Organization with an offer to familiarize myself with the draft agreement and urgently sign it.
The contract was not presented in full; the contract lacked technical conditions. In addition, the contract contains requirements for me to provide the Grid Organization with permission from Rostechnadzor to allow the power installation of a residential building to operate. In addition, in the presented draft agreement, I am offered technological connection according to an individual project.
Are the actions of the Network Organization legal?
Answer: The network organization committed a set of violations:
1) standard modular schemes for technological connection must be approved by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. They are not currently approved. Consequently, the Network Organization does not have the right to require you to submit a modular diagram and does not have the right to refuse you a technological connection due to their failure to provide it;
2) The network organization does not have the right to demand that you urgently (immediately) sign the draft agreement. You have the right to sign it within 30 days from the date of receipt of the completed and signed agreement by the Network Organization;
3) the contract must contain technical conditions;
4) to connect power plants of your residential building, the power of which is 5 kW, it is not necessary to obtain permission from Rostekhnadzor for admission to operation;
5) technological connection in your case is carried out in a general manner, and not according to an individual project (the power of the power plant is 5 kW).
10. Question: I have submitted an application to connect an 8 kW facility. According to the technical specifications received, I must install a 038 kV overhead line from RU-04kW GKTP-175 along existing supports to the facility. To obtain a Certificate of delineation of balance sheet ownership and a Certificate of technological connection, I must present an act of admission to operation of power receiving devices, obtained from Rostechnadzor. In design organizations, the cost of a certificate from Rostechnadzor is about 15 thousand rubles.
Are the actions of the Network Organization legal?
Answer: the actions of the Network Organization are illegal:
1) The network organization is obliged to carry out all activities up to the boundaries of your land plot and does not have the right to impose obligations on you to lay power lines to your land plot;
2) The grid organization is obliged to sign with you an act of delimitation of balance sheet ownership and an act of technological connection. At the same time, the Network Organization does not have the right to require you to submit permission from Rostechnadzor to allow the power receiving device into operation and to require you to pay money.
Connection of certain real estate objects to electrical networks is carried out within the framework of technological connection agreements. Their conclusion is regulated at the level of federal legal acts. What are the key provisions of these sources of law? What are the nuances of connecting objects owned by individuals and legal entities to electrical networks?
regulatory regulation
The way in which technological connections to electrical networks should be carried out is regulated by a separate legal act - Russian Government Decree No. 861, adopted on December 27, 2004. This regulatory source established a number of rules:
On non-discriminatory access of persons to electricity transmission services, dispatch control, as well as those provided by the administrator of trade infrastructure within the wholesale market;
On the technological connection of energy receiving devices belonging to consumers and other facilities.
In general, the set of these norms forms the rules for technological connection. Let us consider the features of this procedure in more detail.
In what cases is technological connection carried out?
Technological connections to electrical networks can be carried out if:
Devices for receiving electricity are being put into operation for the first time;
The capacity of previously connected infrastructure of the corresponding type increases;
Data on the categories of reliability of supply of devices, points of connection, types of economic activities of electricity consumers have been changed, as a result of which adjustments have been made in the scheme of external supply of devices for receiving electricity.
Technological connection is a procedure that is carried out on the basis of an agreement between the supplier - a network company, and the applicant in the status of an individual, individual entrepreneur or organization. Technological connections to electrical networks are carried out in several stages. Let's look at them.
Stages of technological connection
Technological rules for connecting to electrical networks involve the implementation of this procedure within the framework of such stages as:
Submitting an application for accession;
Signing an agreement with the supplier;
Fulfillment of obligations under the contract;
Obtaining permission to admit objects into operation;
Actual connection and voltage supply;
Drawing up an act of accession and accompanying documents.
Let's study the specifics of the marked stages in more detail.
Joining stages: submitting an application
So, first of all, in order to carry out technological connection, one or another subject of legal relations submits an application to the supplier - the network company, which is located at the closest distance to the applicant’s territory. If necessary, the supplier's contact details can be provided by the municipal authority.
An application for technological connection to electrical networks is sent by the customer personally or through an authorized representative. You can also send the relevant document to the network company by letter. In some cases, providers may request that you pre-arrange the application process over the phone. But in any case, it is recommended to contact the network company in advance and find out which method of document transfer will be optimal.
Signing the contract
After the application for technological connection to electrical networks is processed by the supplier, the relevant organization draws up and sends to the customer a draft contract, as well as technical conditions as an appendix to it. The network company must generally prepare and send the contract to the customer within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application.
If the partner is not satisfied with the terms of the contract, then he has the right to send to the supplier a reasoned refusal to conclude the contract, as well as proposals for its adjustment. If within 60 days from the date of receipt of the draft agreement the customer does not confirm his consent to conclude it or does not express a desire to make changes to it, the application for accession is canceled. But as soon as the copy signed by the customer is received by the network company, the contract between it and the consumer is considered concluded.
Fulfillment of the terms of the contract
Technological connection to electrical networks is a legal relationship in which the rights and obligations of the parties are assumed to arise. Their list is prescribed in the contract, which is drawn up and concluded by the electricity supplier and the consumer at the previous stage. After the contract is signed, the parties must carry out the activities provided for by it. Their list can be presented in a fairly wide range - but basically these activities are aimed at preparing the necessary infrastructure for putting objects into operation.
Permission from authorities
Technological connections to electrical networks can only be carried out if the admission of certain facilities into operation is permitted by the competent federal authority that carries out technological supervision. Please note that the Rules of Accession, approved by law, may stipulate cases in which obtaining the appropriate permission is not required for certain categories of applicants.
Actual connection and supply of electricity
After permission for technological connection has been received, the actual connection of the customer’s facilities to the electrical networks can be carried out. As part of this procedure, various technical activities may be carried out related to setting up the applicant’s infrastructure and supplying electricity to it. After the necessary network parameters are checked and their activation is allowed, electricity is supplied.
about accession
The final stage of the technological connection procedure is the signing of an act on its implementation. In addition, the preparation of this document may be accompanied by the formation of a number of other sources. In particular, such as an act on the delimitation of the balance, on operational responsibility, coordination of technological or emergency armor.
Let us consider in more detail what specific measures are implemented within the framework of such a procedure as technological connection to electrical networks. Russian Government Decree No. 861 also regulates their list.
Joining Events
Relevant activities include:
Preparation of technical specifications;
Development of design documentation;
Fulfillment of technical conditions;
Inspection of electricity receiving devices;
Actual connection and activation of the switching infrastructure.
Let us consider the specifics of these events in more detail.
Activities during technological connection: preparation of technical specifications
The rules for connecting to electrical networks require this measure to be carried out. In addition, this company must also agree with the system operator - a person who carries out operational and dispatch functions in electrical power systems, as well as with related organizations that provide services for the supply of electricity, in cases established by law .
Development of project documentation
The development of relevant documentation is carried out by both the network company and the connection customer. In this case, the first subject of legal relations must follow the obligations that are specified in the technical conditions. The customer develops this documentation, in particular if technological connection to the electrical networks of the land plot is carried out. In this case, it must reflect the boundaries of the relevant territory. Let us note that in some legal relations the customer does not develop design documentation.
Fulfillment of technical conditions
The next event that must be carried out as part of the technological connection procedure is the implementation of the approved technical conditions. In this case, the tasks are assigned, again, to both the network company and its customer. The first subject of legal relations, in particular, is responsible for connecting devices for receiving electricity to the infrastructure that ensures emergency operation of the automation.
The event in question also involves the network company checking the customer’s compliance with technical conditions. The results of this procedure require technological rules for connecting to electrical networks to be recorded in separate acts. This check is not carried out if:
The maximum power of the applicants' devices for receiving electricity does not exceed 150 kW within the framework of temporary connection;
The applicant is an individual and his equipment has a power not exceeding 15 kW.
Device Survey
This event, in turn, must be carried out by a representative of the competent federal authority, which is responsible for conducting state supervision in the field of electricity supplies. In addition, the network company and the owner of the electricity receiving devices can also participate in the survey. In some cases, a representative of the organization performing operational dispatch functions is involved in the event in question.
Actual connection
This event actually corresponds to one of the stages we discussed above, which establish the rules for technological connection to electrical networks. Thus, it is planned to connect the customer’s facilities to the power grid, and then activate the switching infrastructure. Similarly, as soon as the relevant event is completed, acts are signed: on accession, delimitation of balance, operational responsibility, approval of reservation.
The most important aspect of legal relations within the framework of which the technological connection of objects to power grids is carried out is payment for the services of electricity suppliers. Let's take a closer look at it.
Payment for services of electricity suppliers
Payment for technological connection to electric networks - IDGC or another supplier - is carried out in accordance with tariffs, rates per unit of power, as well as payment formulas approved by the relevant organization. In addition, the customer may be required to pay costs that, from a legal point of view, are not included in the connection fee. Lists of these costs are usually fixed in separate legal acts adopted by the authorities of Russian regions.
It can be noted that the customers of network companies’ services in many cases are budgetary organizations. In this case, they need to correctly reflect the costs of technological connection to electrical networks in the balance sheet. KOSGU - Classifier of operations of the public administration sector, instructs budgetary institutions to record these costs within the framework of subarticle 226.
Certain nuances characterize the connection to networks of private residential buildings. Let's take a closer look at them.
Connection to electrical networks of private houses
The rules of accession are generally based on the same rules of law that govern the corresponding procedure, the participants of which are legal entities. The algorithm for solving the problem of connecting an individual to the electrical grid at home involves the following basic actions:
Contacting the network company closest to the land plot,
Submitting an application to the appropriate organization, a plan for the location of devices for receiving electricity,
Copies of documents certifying ownership of a private house and plot,
Obtaining and fulfilling technical conditions - independently within the site, with the assistance of a network company - outside it,
Organizing the inspection of network company equipment and its actual connection.
In general, the actions of the home owner are obviously similar to those that characterize the tasks of the organization ordering the services of the network company, which we discussed above in the context of technological connection activities. In this sense, the legislator’s approaches to regulating this procedure are characterized by uniformity.
At the same time, it is quite possible that one or another rule for connecting electrical installations to electrical networks, formulated in a certain way in the legislation, in practice can be interpreted differently in the context of solving problems characterizing the connection of corporate and private facilities. Therefore, in order to carry out the technological connection procedure in full compliance with the requirements of the law, it is advisable for the home owner to seek advice from competent specialists.
The cost of services for connecting residential buildings to electrical networks is usually based on calculations based on the tariff for 15 kW of connected power. The distance of a residential building to the nearest facility is also important. If it exceeds the indicators established by law, then technological connections to electrical networks are carried out on the basis of a tariff determined by orders of regional authorities. For example, the tariff service or the energy commission.
The time period for connecting residential buildings to power grids should not exceed 6 months if the supplier’s energy infrastructure is located at a distance of up to 300 meters from the customer’s property in the city, or within 500 meters in rural areas. This period increases to 1 year if the distance exceeds the specified values.
Upon completion of connecting the house to the electrical grid, acts are signed, as in the case of legal relations involving legal entities, on technological connection, delimitation of the balance and operational responsibility of the customer and supplier.
