The grid organization did not complete the technological connection. Technical connection to electrical networks on a turnkey basis

The procedure for technological connection of power receiving devices to electrical networks is determined by the Federal Law, as well as the Rules for the technological connection of power receiving devices of electrical energy consumers, electrical energy production facilities, as well as electrical grid facilities belonging to network organizations and other persons, to electrical networks approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation Federation dated December 27, 2004 No. 861.

2. What is the procedure for concluding an agreement on technological connection to the electrical networks of UEC JSC?

To conclude an agreement, the applicant submits an application (in two copies) for technological connection if the Company’s power grid facilities are located at the shortest distance from the boundaries of your site. If at a distance of less than 300 meters (500 for rural areas) from its borders there are network facilities of several organizations, then you have the right to send an application to any of them. In order to obtain information about the electrical network company closest to your site, it is enough to send a request to the local government - all the necessary information must be provided to you within 15 working days.

The application shall indicate information in accordance with clause 9 of Section II of the Rules for the technological connection of power receiving devices of electrical energy consumers, electrical energy production facilities, as well as electrical grid facilities belonging to network organizations and other persons to electrical networks, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 12/27/2004 No. 861.

Next, we enter into an agreement with the applicant, which specifies the scope of construction and installation work required to be performed by the applicant and the network company. Afterwards, the parties, in accordance with the agreement, carry out a number of activities.

The next step is activation, during which the client receives and signs an act on the implementation of technological connection and acts of delimitation of balance sheet ownership and delimitation of operational responsibility.

The last step is to apply voltage. The actual reception of voltage and power is carried out subject to a concluded agreement with the sales organization.

3. How to apply for technological connection?

The application can be submitted in person at the Customer Service Center (115035, Moscow, Raushskaya embankment, 8 or sent by mail, .

4. What are the main requirements for the application and its completeness?

For a technological connection to the electrical networks of JSC UEC, it is necessary to fill out an application in accordance with clause 9 of the Rules for Technological Connection and attach a set of documents in accordance with clause 10 of the Rules for Technological Connection. Sample applications and their completeness can be found on the portal for technological connections.

5. How much does technological connection to electrical networks cost?

The fee for technological connection to the Company's networks of power receiving devices with a power of up to 15 kW (inclusive) is set based on the cost of technological connection activities, but not more than 550 rubles when connecting an applicant who owns objects classified as the third reliability category (for one source of power supply), provided that the distance from the boundaries of the applicant’s site to the electrical grid facilities of the voltage class required by the applicant of the network organization to which the application is submitted is no more than 300 meters in cities and towns and no more than 500 meters in rural areas.

The amount of payment for the technological connection of power receiving devices with a maximum power of over 15 kW is established by the Regional Energy Commission of Moscow in the territory of Moscow and by the Ministry of Economy of the Moscow Region in the territory of the Moscow region. For consumers with a power of up to 8900 kW at a voltage level below 35 kV, the fee for technological connection for 2015 was approved by the resolution of the Moscow Regional Energy Commission (543-tpe dated December 25, 2014).

For consumers with a power of over 8900 kW and a voltage level of over 35 kV, the fee for technological connection is approved on an individual project basis by the authorized executive body in the field of state regulation of tariffs (REC of Moscow).

6. How to re-issue documentation confirming technological connection?

The rules determine the list of persons and objects subject to this regulation. Among them:

  • facilities engaged in the production of electricity,
  • objects belonging to electrical network facilities,
  • devices that receive electricity for consumer needs.

These Rules have the force of law and are approved by decree of the Government of Russia and it applies to those cases when the following occurs:

  • energy receiving devices of new facilities put into operation;
  • energy receiving facilities in which, for technical reasons, the following indicators of the level of reliability of electricity supply, connection points, and production methods have been changed. At the same time, changes appeared in the facility’s power supply circuit, although this did not lead to changes in the increase or decrease in permissible power.

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:

  1. Application for connection to electrical networks.
  2. An agreement is concluded, to which technical conditions are attached.
  3. The parties to the agreement fulfill all its terms.
  4. Based on the results of the merger, all necessary acts are drawn up.
  5. 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.

OBTAINING A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION OF THE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION FOR OPERATION

Obtaining an admission certificate from Rostechnadzor is necessary to supply voltage to the electrical installations of subscribers connected under the second category of power supply reliability.

MORE ABOUT THE ACT OF ADMISSION

Subscribers connected to electrical networks in the second reliability category, if the power of their electrical installation is 150 kW or higher, must provide the network organization with an Electrical Installation Approval Certificate for Operation, obtained from RosTechNadzor, to supply voltage. To receive such a certificate, the subscriber must:
1. Coordinate with Rostechnadzor the internal power supply project.
2. Provide your person in charge of electrical facilities and his deputy, who have an electrical safety clearance group of at least 4.
3. Present the fully assembled electrical installation (from the point of connection to the terminal devices) for inspection by the inspector.
4. Provide a technical report on laboratory tests of electrical equipment included in the electrical installation.
Only a very good specialist can hand over an electrical installation to Rostechnadzor without any comments. Even if at first glance the electrical installation complies with all PUE standards, the Rostechnadzor inspector will definitely find violations that will allow him not to issue an admission certificate immediately, but to insist on a repeat visit. All repeat visits by the Rostechnadzor inspector are paid.

The Elektroset group of companies is ready to offer its services for handing over electrical installations to Rostechnadzor inspectors and handing over your electrical installation in one inspector visit, reducing your time and financial costs.

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 electric grid facilities through which indirect technological connection is made 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 technological connection due to their failure to provide it;
2) The network organization does not have the right to demand urgent (immediate) signing of the draft agreement by you. 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.
