3.1. The technological connection procedure is carried out when connecting reconstructed power receivers for the first time, previously connected to the reconstructed power receiving devices, the connected capacity of which increases, as well as in cases in which the category of power supply reliability, connection points, types of production activities that do not entail revision change in relation to previously connected power receivers values ​​of connected power, but changing the scheme of external power supply of such power receiving devices.
3.2. Technological connection is carried out on a reimbursable basis on the basis of an agreement concluded between the grid organization and a legal entity or individual.
3.3. Technological connection is a complex procedure, the stages of which are:
1) filing an application for technological connection;
2) conclusion of an agreement for technological connection;
3) implementation by the parties to the agreement of the measures provided for by the agreement;
4) obtaining permission from Rostekhnadzor for admission to operation of the applicant's facilities;

Attention! Obtaining permission from Rostekhnadzor for admission to operation of the facility is not required for:
- objects of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs with a capacity of up to 100 kW inclusive;
- objects of individuals with a capacity of up to 15 kW inclusive (for household needs);
- temporary connection of facilities with a capacity of up to 100 kW inclusive.

5) implementation by the grid organization of the actual connection of the applicant's facilities to power grids;
6) actual reception (supply) of voltage and power (fixation of the switching device in the "on" position);
7) drawing up an act on technological connection and an act of delineating balance sheet ownership and operational responsibility.
3.4. The grid organization is obliged to carry out technological connection measures in relation to any person who applied to it, subject to the observance of the Technological Connection Rules.
The conclusion of the contract is mandatory for the network organization. In the event of an unjustified refusal or evasion of a network organization from concluding an agreement, the interested person has the right to apply to the court with a claim for compulsion to conclude an agreement and recover damages caused by such unjustified refusal or evasion. Also, in such a situation, the applicant has the right to apply to the antimonopoly authority with a statement to initiate a case on violation of the antimonopoly legislation.

Attention! The grid organization does not have the right to refuse the applicant in the implementation of technological connection due to the lack of technical capability. The legislation in the field of the electric power industry does not provide for such a basis for refusing a technological connection.

The technological connection rules establish only the specifics of the technological connection procedure for certain categories of consumers in the absence of the technical capability of the grid organization.
In the absence of technical capability:
- in relation to objects of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs with a capacity of up to 100 kW inclusively, as well as objects of individuals with a capacity of up to 15 kW inclusive (for household needs), the network organization is obliged to carry out measures for technological connection in a general manner, as in the presence of technical feasibility;
- in relation to other objects, the grid organization must, within 30 days after receiving the application, apply to the authorized executive body in the field of state regulation of tariffs (hereinafter referred to as the regulatory body) to calculate the payment for technological connection according to an individual project.
If the applicant agrees to make settlements for technological connection according to an individual project in the amount determined by the regulatory body, the grid organization has no right to refuse to conclude an agreement. The grid organization has the right to refuse to conclude an agreement in the absence of technical feasibility if the applicant does not agree to technological connection at the amount of payment determined by the regulatory body.
3.5. The time frame for technological connection may not exceed:
- 15 working days (unless a longer period is specified in the application) - for applicants for a temporary (for a period not exceeding 6 months) technological connection, if the distance from the applicant's power receiving device to existing electrical networks of the required voltage class is not more than 300 meters ;
- 6 months - for legal entities whose connected capacity does not exceed 100 kW and individuals, in the case of technological connection to electrical networks with a voltage class of up to 20 kV, inclusive, if the distance from existing electrical networks of the required voltage class to the boundaries of the applicant's site on which connected power receivers is no more than 300 meters in cities and urban-type settlements and no more than 500 meters in rural areas;
- 1 year - for applicants whose total connected capacity of power receiving devices does not exceed 750 kVA, unless shorter periods are provided for by the relevant investment program or agreement of the parties;
- 2 years - for applicants whose total connected capacity of power receiving devices exceeds 750 kVA, unless other periods (but not more than 4 years) are provided for by the relevant investment program or agreement of the parties.

Attention! The technological connection procedure is of a one-time nature:
- payment for technological connection is charged once;
- when changing the form of ownership or owner (applicant or grid organization), it is not required to carry out a new procedure for technological connection;
- change in the form of ownership or owner (applicant or grid organization) does not entail repeated payment for technological connection.

4. Submission of an application for technological connection

4.1. When deciding on which grid organization to submit an application for technological connection, one should pay attention to the distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site to the nearby facilities of the grid organization's power grid.
The distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site to the electrical grid facilities of the grid organization is understood as the minimum distance measured in a straight line from the boundary of the plot (location of the connected power receivers) of the applicant to the nearest electrical network object (transmission line support, cable line, switchgear, substation), which has voltage class specified in the application, existing or planned for commissioning in accordance with the investment program of the grid organization, approved in accordance with the established procedure, and within the time frame established for technological connection (see clause 3.5).
If at a distance of less than 300 meters from the boundaries of the applicant's site there are power grid facilities of several grid organizations, the applicant has the right to send an application to any of them. This rule does not apply to applicants intending to carry out technological connection of power receiving devices according to an individual project.
If there is only one network organization at a distance of less than 300 meters from the boundaries of the applicant's site, the applicant sends an application to this network organization.
If all power grid facilities of all grid organizations are located at a distance of 300 meters or more from the boundaries of the site, the applicant must send an application for the conclusion of an agreement to the grid organization, the power grid facilities of which are located at the shortest distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site.

Attention! The requirements of the grid organization for the applicant to independently resolve the issues related to indirect connection (i.e. connection to the electric networks of third parties) are unreasonable. The grid organization is obliged to settle issues with the owner of the power grid facilities, through the facilities of which the indirect connection will be carried out.

4.2. The application is sent by the applicant to the network organization in 2 copies by letter with a list of attachments. The applicant has the right to submit an application through an authorized representative, and the network organization is obliged to accept such an application.

11. Answers to frequently asked questions about the problems of technological connection

1. Question: I have submitted documents for connecting the house to the power grid to the Grid Organization. After 2 weeks, we were informed that our documents were sent to a Private Grid Company, and there were no Grid Organization lines in our area. In a Private Grid Company, for connecting a house to a power line, they take huge money for each connected kW and increased tariffs for paying for electricity. What should we do in this situation?

Answer: You need to determine what is the distance from the boundaries of your land plot to the nearest object of the power grid facilities 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 evades the conclusion of an agreement with you and you have the right to appeal against its actions in the prescribed manner.
A private grid organization does not have the right to independently determine the cost of technological connection to its electric grids, as well as the cost of services for the transmission of electric energy through its grids. These tariffs are subject to state regulation and their sizes are established by state bodies authorized for state regulation of tariffs. Moreover, if your declared capacity is up to 15 kW inclusive, the cost of technological connection for you should not exceed 550 rubles.
If a Private Grid Organization independently determines the cost of technological connection and prices for services for the transmission of electrical energy, it violates legislation, including anti-monopoly legislation. You have the right to appeal against the actions of the Private Grid Organization in accordance with the established procedure.

2. Question: I have submitted an application for technological connection to power grids to the Grid 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 completing the contract. In response to the complaint, I received a letter with a proposal to conclude an agreement with a suspensive condition, according to which the execution of measures by the Grid organization will be carried out within 6 months from the date of commencement of the regulatory act of the executive authority in the field of tariff regulation, which includes the loss of income of the Grid organization from connection power receiving devices with a maximum capacity 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 by the Networking Organization. The Grid Organization is obliged to conclude an agreement with you and perform the activities for technological connection within the established time frame, regardless of when the decision of the regulatory body to compensate for the shortfalls in the expenses of the Grid Organization will be adopted and come into force.

3. Question: I submitted an application to the Grid Organization, received an agreement on the implementation of 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 Grid Organization to amend this agreement and bring it into line with the legislation. To which he received an oral refusal. Are the actions of the Networking Organization legal?

Answer: If the Grid organization receives from the applicant a refusal to sign the agreement due to the fact that it does not comply with the legislation, the Grid organization is obliged to bring the draft agreement in accordance with the Rules for technological connection within 5 working days from the date of receipt of such a request and submit to the applicant a new version draft contract for signing. The refusal of the Network Organization in such a situation is unlawful.

4. Question: I have submitted an application for technological connection of a 4 kW facility to the Grid Organization. Over the course of 3 months, I repeatedly called the Networking Organization and received the same response: "Your application is pending." After my appeal to the website of the Network Organization, I received an answer that the terms for consideration of applications for the issuance of technical specifications are up to 40 days, but due to the workload of specialists, the terms may be increased. In the end, I was refused to issue technical specifications due to the congestion of the substation.

Answer: The network organization was obliged to send you a completed and signed draft contract and technical specifications no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of your application. The actions of the Network Organization to delay the sending of the indicated documents to you are illegal.
In addition, the Grid Organization has no right to refuse you in the implementation of technological connection due to the workload of the substation. You have the right to appeal against the actions of the Network Organization in accordance with the established procedure.

5. Question: I can’t get my neighbor’s consent to join the power line, which he partially pulled, since he requires a considerable amount. Does the state somehow regulate this issue, how much can it ask for from us?

Answer: You are not required to obtain consent from a neighbor to join the power line, which he partially pulled. You must submit an application for technological connection to the Grid Organization. The network organization is obliged to independently resolve all issues with indirect connection through the facilities of your neighbor. If the Grid Organization is not able to settle 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 prevent the flow of electrical energy and will not have the right to demand payment for this. If the owner of the power grid facilities through which the indirect technological connection is carried out wants to receive remuneration for this, he must apply to the regulatory tariff body, which will set him a tariff for the services provided. In this case, he will be entrusted with all the obligations that are imposed by law on the 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 the 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 payment by me for the technological connection (this was the requirement of the employees of the client department) before I received the draft agreement on technological connection and the draft technical conditions?

Answer: The network organization has no right to demand from you payment for technological connection before you receive the draft agreement and technical conditions, since the agreement with you has not yet been concluded. The agreement on the implementation of technological connection is considered concluded from the moment the Grid organization receives the agreement signed by the applicant. Only after that you have obligations to pay for technological connection.

7. Question: The Director of the Grid Organization signed my application for technical conditions for connecting a facility with a capacity of 3 kW and sent me to the company LLC with the words "he will decide all other issues." In the company LLC, I entered into an agreement on the implementation of design work and an agreement on the implementation of 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 the LLC company legal?

Answer: The applicant independently determines which organization will carry out design and installation work within the boundaries of his site (of course, by agreement with such an organization and if 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 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 illegal. For concerted actions of the Grid 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 object with a capacity of 8 kW to the electric networks. Are the actions of the Grid Organization, which requires me to pay the cost of technological connection in the amount of 4400 rubles, plus VAT, at the rate of 550 rubles, are legal actions? for each 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 offered to use a typical modular scheme. To my comment, the representative of the Network Organization replied that the approved schemes will be later and this issue will be resolved at the stage of preparing the contract and technical conditions.
Later, I was summoned to the office of the Network Organization with a proposal 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 agreement contains the requirements for the Grid Organization to provide me with permission from Rostekhnadzor for admission to the operation of the power plant of a residential building. In addition, in the presented draft contract, I am offered a technological connection according to an individual project.
Are the actions of the Networking Organization legal?

Answer: The network organization committed a set of violations:
1) standard modular technological connection schemes must be approved by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. They are not currently approved. Consequently, the Grid Organization does not have the right to demand that you submit a modular scheme and does not have the right to refuse you technological connection due to failure to submit them;
2) The network organization has no right to demand an 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 the power plants of your residential building, the power of which is 5 kW, it is not required to obtain a permit 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 for connection of an object with a capacity of 8 kW. According to the obtained technical conditions, I have to mount a 038kV overhead line from RU-04kW GKTP-175 through the existing supports to the object. In order to receive the Act of Delimitation of Balance Affiliation and the Act on the Implementation of Technological Connection, I must present an Act of Admission to Operation of Power Receiving Devices, obtained from Rostekhnadzor. In design organizations, the cost of a certificate from Rostekhnadzor is about 15 thousand rubles.
Are the actions of the Networking Organization legal?

Answer: the actions of the Network Organization are illegal:
1) The network organization is obliged to carry out all activities to the borders 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 delineation of balance sheet ownership and an act on the implementation of technological connection. At the same time, the Grid Organization does not have the right to demand that you submit a permit from Rostekhnadzor for admission to operation of the power receiving device and payment of funds by you.

Federation of December 27, 2004 No. 861.

2. What is the procedure for concluding an agreement on the implementation of technological connection to the power grids of OEK JSC?

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

The application shall contain information in accordance with clause 9 of Section II of the Rules for technological connection of power receivers of consumers of electrical energy, facilities for the production of electrical energy, as well as power grid facilities belonging to grid organizations and other persons to power grids, approved by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2004 No. 861.

Further, we conclude an agreement with the applicant, which specifies the scope of construction and installation work required for the applicant and the network company. After the parties, in accordance with the contract, they perform 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 delineation of balance sheet and delineation of operational responsibility.

The last step is to apply voltage. The actual acceptance of voltage and power is carried out in the presence of a concluded contract with a 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 send it by mail,.

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

For technological connection to the power grids of OEK JSC, 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 electric networks cost?

Payment for technological connection to the Company's networks of power receiving devices with a capacity 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 facilities classified in the third category of reliability (one power supply source), provided that the distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site to the power grid facilities of the voltage class of the network organization required for the applicant, to which the application is filed, is no more than 300 meters in cities and urban-type settlements and no more than 500 meters in rural areas.

The amount of payment for technological connection of power receiving devices with a maximum capacity of over 15 kW is set by the REC of Moscow on the territory of Moscow and the Ministry of Economy of the Moscow Region on the territory of the Moscow Region. For consumers with a capacity of up to 8900 kW at a voltage level below 35 kV, the payment for technological connection for 2015 was approved by the resolution of the REC of the city of Moscow (543-TPE of December 25, 2014).

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

6. How to reissue the documentation confirming the technological connection?

Connection of certain real estate objects to power grids 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 power grids?

regulation

The way in which technological connections to electric grids should be carried out is regulated by a separate legal act - the decree of the Russian government No. 861, adopted on December 27, 2004. This regulatory source has established a number of rules:

On non-discriminatory access of persons to services for the transmission of electricity, dispatch control, as well as those provided by the administrator of the trade infrastructure within the wholesale market;

On technological connection of devices for receiving energy, owned by consumers and other facilities.

In general, the totality of these norms forms the rules for technological connection. Let's 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 put into operation for the first time;

The capacity of the previously connected infrastructure of the corresponding type is increased;

The 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 a supplier - a grid company, and an applicant in the status of an individual, individual entrepreneur or organization. Technological connections to power grids are carried out in several stages. Let's consider them.

Technological connection stages

Technological rules for connecting to power grids assume the implementation of this procedure within the framework of such stages as:

Submission of an application for accession;

Signing a contract with a supplier;

Fulfillment of obligations under the contract;

Obtaining a permit for the admission of objects into operation;

Actual connection and voltage supply;

Drawing up an act of accession and accompanying documents.

Let's study the specifics of the noted stages in more detail.

Accession stages: application submission

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 grid company, which is located at the closest distance to the applicant's territory. If necessary, the contact details of the supplier 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, suppliers are asked to agree in advance on the procedure for placing an order by phone. But in any case, it is recommended to contact the network company in advance and find out which method of transferring the document will be optimal.

Signing a contract

After the application for technological connection to power grids has been processed by the supplier, the relevant organization draws up and sends to the customer a draft contract, as well as technical specifications as an annex to it. In general, the network company must 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 contract, the customer does not confirm his consent to conclude it or does not express a desire to amend it, the application for joining 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.

Compliance with the terms of the contract

Technological connection to power grids is a legal relationship in which the emergence of the rights and obligations of the parties is assumed. 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 measures are aimed at preparing the necessary infrastructure for launching facilities into operation.

Authorization from the authorities

Technological connections to power grids can be carried out only if the admission of certain objects to operation is permitted by the competent federal authority that exercises technological supervision. Note that the Rules of Accession, approved by law, may prescribe cases in which obtaining an appropriate permit is not required for certain categories of applicants.

Actual connection and supply of electricity

After the permit for technological connection is received, the actual connection of the customer's facilities to the power grids can be carried out. Within the framework of this procedure, various technical measures can 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 joining

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 the act on the delineation of the balance, on operational responsibility, approval of technological or emergency armor.

Let us consider in more detail what specific measures are being implemented within the framework of such a procedure as technological connection to power grids. RF government decree No. 861 also regulates their list.

Joining activities

Relevant activities include:

Preparation of technical specifications;

Development of project documentation;

Compliance with technical conditions;

Inspection of devices for receiving electricity;

Actual connection and activation of the switching infrastructure.

Let's consider the specifics of these events in more detail.

Measures for technological connection: preparation of technical specifications

The rules for connecting to power grids prescribe this measure.In addition, this company must also agree with the system operator - a person who performs operational dispatching functions in electric power systems, as well as with related organizations that provide services for the supply of electricity, in cases established by law ...

Development of design documentation

The development of the relevant documentation is carried out by both the grid company and the customer of the connection. In this case, the first subject of legal relations must follow the obligations that are spelled out 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 is necessary to reflect the boundaries of the corresponding territory. Note that in some legal relationships, the development of project documentation by the customer is not carried out.

Compliance with technical conditions

The next event to be carried out as part of the technological connection procedure is the fulfillment 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 provides emergency operation of automation.

The event under consideration also assumes that the network company will check whether the customer meets the technical specifications. The results of this procedure are prescribed by the technological rules for connection to electric grids in separate acts. This check is not carried out if:

The maximum capacity of the devices for receiving electricity belonging to the applicants does not exceed 150 kW within the framework of temporary connection;

The applicant is an individual and his equipment has a capacity not exceeding 15 kW.

Device survey

This event, in turn, should be conducted 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 may also participate in the survey. In some cases, a representative of the organization performing operational dispatch functions is connected to the event in question.

Actual connection

This event actually corresponds to one of the stages we have discussed above, which establish the rules for technological connection to power grids. So, it is assumed that the customer's facilities will be connected to the power grids, and after that, the switching infrastructure will be activated. Likewise, as soon as the corresponding event is completed, acts are signed: on accession, delineation of balance, operational responsibility, approval of the reservation.

The most important aspect of legal relations within the framework of which technological connection of facilities to power grids is carried out is payment for the services of electricity suppliers. Let's consider it in more detail.

Payment for services of electricity suppliers

Payment for technological connection to power grids - IDGC or another supplier - is carried out in accordance with the tariffs, rates per unit of capacity approved by the relevant organization, as well as payment formulas. In addition, the customer may be required to pay costs that, in terms of legislation, are not included in the connection fee. Lists of these costs are usually recorded in separate legal acts adopted by the authorities of the Russian regions.

It can be noted that the customers of the services of network companies in many cases are budgetary organizations. In this case, they need to correctly reflect the costs of technological connection to power grids in the balance sheet. KOSGU - Classifier of operations of the public administration sector, prescribes budgetary institutions to fix these costs within the framework of subarticle 226.

The connection to the networks of private residential buildings is characterized by certain nuances. Let's consider them in more detail.

Electricity connection of private houses

The rules of accession are generally based on the same rules of law that govern the corresponding procedure, in which legal entities are participants. The algorithm for solving the problem of connecting to the electrical networks of the house by an individual involves the implementation of the following basic actions:

Appeals to the grid company - the one closest to the land plot,

Submission to the relevant organization of an application, a plan for the location of devices for receiving electricity,

Copies of documents certifying ownership of a private house and land,

Obtaining and fulfilling technical conditions - independently within the site, with the assistance of a network company - outside it,

Organization of inspection of equipment of network companies and its actual connection.

In general, the actions of the owner of the house are obviously similar to those that characterize the tasks of the organization-customer of the services of the grid company, which we considered above in the context of measures for technological connection. In this sense, the legislator's approaches to regulating this procedure are characterized by uniformity.

At the same time, it is quite possible that this or that 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 that characterize the connection of corporate and private facilities. Therefore, in order to carry out the procedure for technological connection in full compliance with the requirements of the legislation, it is advisable for the owner of the house to seek advice from competent specialists.

The cost of services for connecting residential buildings to power grids is usually based on calculations based on the tariff for 15 kW of connected power. The distance of a residential building to the nearest object also matters. If it exceeds the indicators established by law, then technological connections to electric 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 terms for connecting residential buildings to the power grid should not exceed 6 months if the supplier's energy infrastructure is located at a distance of up to 300 meters to the customer's property in the city, or within 500 meters in the countryside. This period increases to 1 year if the distance exceeds the specified values.

Upon completion of the connection of the house to the power grids, acts are signed, as in the case of legal relations with the participation of legal entities, on technological connection, delineation of the balance and operational responsibility of the customer and the supplier.
