What is the procedure to get connected to electricity supply ?
- Take a rational decision regarding the permitted capacity of your electricity facilities. Excessive capacity (that is not fully utilised) will increase your expenses;
- In order to determine the permitted capacity refer to the specialists with the appropriate qualification who will be installing the internal networks.
- Security category 3 is ensured by supplying electricity from a single electricity source by a single power line. In case of a termination of electricity transmission, the electricity supply at the electricity network of both the operator and the electricity customer must be restored within no later than 24 hours.
- Security category 2 is ensured by supplying electricity from two electricity sources by two power lines. In case of a termination of electricity transmission, the electricity supply at the electricity network of both the operator and the electricity customer must be restored from at least one electricity source within no later than 2.5 hours.
- Security category 1 is ensured when the electricity is supplied to customers from two or more independent electricity sources by individual electricity lines, and the power supply may be terminated for the time required for switching from one independent electricity source to another, or for a repeated switch on of the power source.
A customer which has been ensured security category 1 and requires an uninterrupted supply with electricity (for specifically important category 1 electricity receiver groups), is required to arrange and ensure the electricity supply from own autonomous electricity sources (batteries, electricity generators, etc.) with the properly operating automatics able to connect a disconnected Group 1 electricity receiver to the power supply sources concerned.
For customers choosing security category 1 and category 2, the connection fee is multiplied by two.
- The amount of the connection service fee will be established having assessed the capacity permitted in your respect and the length of built or reconstructed power network.
- Rates for the connection of consumer devices to electricity networks, EUR, excl. VAT:
All other consumers except household consumers pay 40% of the approved connection fee.
Rates listed below are applied for connecting new permitted capacity up to 500 kW.
Connection fees from 1st April, 2019:
| customer group | RATE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF OR INCREASE BY 1 KW OF PERMITTED CAPACITY (Incl. VAT) |
RATE FOR THE BUILDING OF 1 M OF ELECTRICITY NETWORK (incL. vat) |
| Group I (Permissible capacity < 30 kW, no network reconstruction or project needed) |
10,10 | - |
| Group II (Permissible capacity < 50 kW) |
56,02 | 15,27 |
|
Group III (50 <= permissilbe capacity <= 100) |
30,32 | 11,64 |
More information about customer groups can be found in the website of National comission for energy control and prices.
Please learn about the electricity tariff plans, and select the one that suits you best.

| When for the purpose of carrying out the connection works the operator organises the public procurement of works, and in case securing and/or improving of the connected electricity equipment, or the parameters of the distribution and/or transmission network, require the installation and/or reconstruction of 330 kV, 110 kV, 35 kV overhead or cable power lines, 330/110/10 kV, 110/35/10(6), 110/10(6) kV, 35/10 kV transformer stations and distribution units, except for the cases when at the time of signing the contract no scheme for the connection of the customer's electric equipment to the power networks as been drawn up , and there is no possibility to indicate the exact term for the connection of the customer's power equipment. | up to 12 months2 whether the project plan is prepared both by selected designer and by ESO |
1 – from the day of payment of the connection fee
2 – from the signature of the contract on works with the contractor who has won the public procurement tender.
When providing to a customer a requested service for the transfer of ESO electricity equipment, a contractual term for the provision of the service is established; the term starts from the date of signing the contract with the contractor performing the electricity equipment transferring works.
The term for the provision of the service may be longer, when a longer term for the completion of the works is required due to their seasonal character, the peculiarity and the scope of the project, or other reasons beyond the control of ESO.
- The identity document of the manager of the entity / authorised person (In order the application is submitted in service center "Gilė");
- Construction permit or a document approved by the Municipality that the permit is not required;
- Cadastral plot plan (scale 1:500 or 1:1000) with the marked place for the installation of the meter – Example
- Location of the plot on the map (requirements);
- The document certifying the representation on behalf of the legal person (in case the application is filed not by the manager of the company)
Whether connecting to the electricity system requires project drawings will be specified in the connection service conditions issued by ESO.
Where your preferred permitted capacity is up to 500 kW, please indicate in the application who will prepare the project plan. Project plan works may be performed by:
-
ESO. The project plan work price will be set according to the rate provided by the contractor that has concluded a contract with ESO, or according to the rates of the services acquired by way of public procurement.
-
Your independently selected design company. For your convenience please find a list of design companies that have completed project plan works for our customers. The price of the project plans will depend on the agreed terms.
