What is the simplified procedure to get connected to electricity supply (up to 150kW)?

General information about the simplified procedure to get connected to electricity supply (up to 150kW)

Who is eligible for the simplified procedure to get connected to electricity supply?

- New clients or those who are increasing permitted capacity (without changing reliability category)
- Those business clients who need no more than 150 kW of electrical power
- Owners of the object where the electricity supply will be connected
- The object where electricity supply will be connected is located not more than 500 m from the electricity distribution grid of ESO

How to get prepared for the electricity connection?

HOW MUCH CAPACITY DO I NEED?

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.

WHICH ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SECURITY CATEGORY SHOULD I CHOSE?

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.

HOW MUCH WILL I PAY FOR THE CONNECTION SERVICE?

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.

WHEN ELECTRICITY WILL BE INSTALLED?

In case the connection of a customer's electricity facilities to the distribution electricity networks of AB ESO requires carrying out the works not related to building the electricity network, and no separate project is required for performing the works	up to 25 calendar days¹whether the project plan is prepared both by selected designer and by ESO
In case the connection service expenses (according to the estimate value) does not exceed EUR 25,000 excl. VAT, and the customer has selected an annual contractor for performing the connection works	up to 45 calendar days¹ when the project is prepared by selected designer up to 85 calendar days¹ when the project plan is prepared by ESO
When the connection service costs (according to the estimate value indicated in the scheme) exceeds EUR 25,000 excl. VAT, but is under EUR 44,000 excl. VAT.	up to 60 calendar days² when the project is prepared by selected designer up to 120 calendar days² when the project plan is prepared by ESO
When the connection service costs (according to the estimate value indicated in the scheme) exceeds EUR 44,000 excl. VAT.	up to 90 calendar days² when the project is prepared by selected designer up tp 150 calendar days²when the project plan is prepared by ESO
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.

Who is eligible for the simplified procedure for the introduction of electricity
