3. General provisions

3.1. The technological connection procedure is carried out when connecting newly commissioned, previously connected reconstructed power receivers, the connected capacity of which increases, as well as in cases in which, in relation to previously connected power receivers, the category of power supply reliability, points of connection, types of production activities that do not entail revision connected power values, 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 a grid organization and a legal entity or individual.
3.3. Technological connection is complex procedure, the stages of which are:
1) filing an application for technological connection;
2) conclusion of an agreement for technological connection;
3) fulfillment by the parties of 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 a permit 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 domestic needs);
- temporary connection of objects with power up to 100 kW inclusive.

5) implementation by the grid organization of the actual connection of the applicant's facilities to electric networks;
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 delimitation of balance sheet ownership and operational responsibility.
3.4. The grid organization is obliged to carry out measures for technological connection in respect of any person who applied to it, provided that he complies with the Rules for technological connection.
The conclusion of the contract is obligatory for the network organization. In the event of an unjustified refusal or evasion of a grid organization from concluding a contract, the interested person has the right to apply to the court with a claim for compulsion to conclude a contract and recovery of losses 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 law.

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

The rules for technological connection establish only the specifics of the technological connection procedure for certain categories of consumers in the absence of technical capabilities of the grid organization.
In the absence of technical feasibility:
- in relation to objects of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs with a capacity of up to 100 kW inclusive, as well as objects of individuals with a capacity of up to 15 kW inclusive (for domestic needs), the grid organization is obliged to carry out measures for technological connection in general order, as in the presence of technical feasibility;
- in relation to other facilities, the grid organization is obliged, within 30 days after receiving the application, to 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 for an individual project.
If the applicant agrees to make payments for technological connection on an individual project in the amount determined by the regulatory body, the grid organization is not entitled to refuse to conclude the contract. 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 the fee determined by the regulatory body.
3.5. Terms of technological connection may not exceed:
- 15 working days (unless a longer period is specified in the application) - for applicants for temporary (for a period not exceeding 6 months) technological connection, if the distance from the applicant's power receiving device to existing electrical networks required class voltage is not more than 300 meters;
- 6 months - for legal entities whose connected power does not exceed 100 kW and individuals, in case of technological connection to electric networks with a voltage class of up to 20 kV inclusive, if the distance from the existing electric networks of the required voltage class to the boundaries of the applicant's site where connected power receiving devices 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 power of power receiving devices exceeds 750 kVA, unless other terms (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 one-time:
- payment for technological connection is charged once;
- when changing the form of ownership or owner (applicant or grid organization), a new procedure for technological connection is not required;
- a change in the form of ownership or owner (applicant or grid organization) does not entail a repeated payment for technological connection.

4. Submission of an application for technological connection

4.1. When deciding which grid organization to apply for technological connection to, attention should be paid to the distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site to the nearby electric grid facilities of the grid organization.
The distance from the boundaries of the applicant's site to the electric grid facilities of the grid organization is understood as minimum distance, measured in a straight line from the boundary of the site (location of connected power receiving devices) of the applicant to the nearest electrical network facility (power transmission line support, cable line, switchgear, substation) having the voltage class specified in the application, existing or planned for commissioning in accordance with the investment program of the grid organization, approved in the prescribed manner, and within the time limits 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 who intend 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 whose power grid facilities 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 issues related to indirect connection (ie connection to electric networks of third parties) are unfounded. The grid organization is obliged to settle issues with the owner of the electric grid facilities, through whose facilities 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 description of the attachment. 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 submitted documents for connecting the house to the power grid to the Grid Organization. After 2 weeks, we were informed that our documents had been sent to the Private Grid Company, and there were no lines of the Grid Organization in our area. In the Private Grid Company, for connecting a house to a power line, they charge a lot of money for each connected kW and increased tariffs for paying for electrical energy. What should we do in this situation?

Answer: You need to determine what is the distance from the borders 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 Grid Organization unreasonably avoids concluding an agreement with you and you have the right to appeal against its actions in the prescribed manner.
A private grid organization is not entitled to independently determine the amount of the cost of technological connection to its electric networks, as well as the cost of services for the transmission of electric energy through its networks. These tariffs are subject to state regulation and their amounts are set government bodies authorized for state regulation of 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 Grid Organization independently determines the cost of technological connection and prices for electric power transmission services, it violates the law, including antimonopoly. You have the right to appeal the actions of the Private Network Organization in the prescribed manner.

2. Question: I have submitted an application for technological connection to electric networks 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 drawing up 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 Network Organization will be carried out within 6 months from the date of commencement of the action normative act executive authority in the region tariff regulation, including the shortfall in income of the grid organization from the connection of power receiving devices with a maximum capacity not exceeding 15 kW inclusive, in the tariff for the provision of services for the transmission of electric 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 technological connection measures within the established time limits, regardless of when the decision of the regulatory body to compensate for the shortfall in expenses of the Grid organization is made and comes 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 Rules for Technological Connection, I sent a request to the Grid Organization to correct this agreement and bring it into line with the law. To which he received a verbal refusal. Are the Network Organization's actions 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 law, the Grid Organization is obliged to bring the draft agreement into line with the Rules for Technological Connection 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. Refusal of the Grid 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. For 3 months I constantly called the Network Organization and received the same answer: "Your application is under consideration." After I applied to the website of the Network Organization, I received a response that the time for consideration of applications for the issuance of technical conditions is up to 40 days, but due to the workload of specialists, the time may be increased. Ultimately, I was denied the issuance of technical conditions due to the congestion of the substation.

Answer: The network organization was obliged to send you the 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 these documents to you are unlawful.
In addition, the Grid Organization does not have the right to refuse you to carry out 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, as he requires a considerable amount. Does the state regulate this issue in any way, what amount can it request 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 cannot 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 require you to 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 electric energy and will not be entitled to demand payment for this. If the owner of the electric grid facilities through which indirect technological connection is carried out wishes to receive remuneration for this, he must apply to the regulatory tariff authority, which will set a tariff for the services provided. At the same time, all obligations that are imposed by law on a grid organization will be assigned to it.
This conclusion follows from the Rules for Non-Discriminatory Access to Electricity Transmission Services, the Rules for Technological Connection, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861 dated December 27, 2004.

6. Question: Is the grid organization entitled to demand that I pay for technological connection (such was the requirement of the employees of the client department) before I receive the draft agreement on technological connection and the draft technical specifications?

Answer: The grid organization is not entitled to require you to pay for technological connection before you receive the draft contract and technical specifications, since the contract has not yet been concluded with you. 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 the technical conditions for connecting an object with a capacity of 3 kW and sent me to the LLC company with the words "he will solve all other issues." In the company LLC, I signed an agreement on the implementation of design work and an agreement on the installation work and their coordination. The total cost of work under the contracts is more than 60,000 rubles. Are the actions of the Grid 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 (naturally, 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 Grid 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 the restriction of competition and infringement of the interests of consumers of technological connection services, the antimonopoly legislation establishes the most severe liability.

8. Question: I need to connect an object with a capacity of 8 kW to the power grid. 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, legal? 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 Grid Organization is about 6 meters, and the declared maximum power is 5 kW.
When applying for technological connection, I was asked to use a typical modular scheme. To my remark, the representative of the Grid Organization replied that the approved schemes would be 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 Grid Organization with a proposal to familiarize myself with the draft agreement and urgently sign it.
The contract was not presented in full, there were no technical conditions in the contract. In addition, the contract contains requirements for me to provide the Grid Organization with permission from Rostekhnadzor to allow the power plant of a residential building to be put into operation. In addition, in the submitted draft contract, I am offered technological connection on an individual project.
Are the Network Organization's actions 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. Therefore, the Grid Organization is not entitled to require you to submit a modular scheme and is not entitled to refuse you technological connection due to their failure to submit;
2) The grid organization is not entitled 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 contract completed and signed by the Grid Organization;
3) the contract must contain technical specifications;
4) to connect the power plants of your residential building, the power of which is 5 kW, you do not need 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 (power plant capacity is 5 kW).

10. Question: I submitted an application for connection of an object with a capacity of 8 kW. According to the technical specifications received, I have to mount VL-038kV from RU-04kW GKTP-175 along the existing supports to the facility. In order to obtain the Act of delimitation of balance sheet ownership 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 Network Organization's actions legal?

Answer: the actions of the Grid Organization are illegal:
1) The grid organization is obliged to carry out all activities up to the boundaries of your land plot and is not entitled to impose obligations on you for laying 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 on the implementation of technological connection. At the same time, the Grid Organization is not entitled to demand that you submit a permit from Rostekhnadzor for admission to operation of the power receiving device and payment of funds by you.

Any government directive has its own life span. And in this regard resolution 861, which regulates a whole list of relationships in the field of electricity supply and energy consumption, is no exception. Over time, he needed adjustments, which ultimately led to a change in his status. At the moment, it is officially recognized as changed. At the same time, several reasons that led to its change can be identified at once. Let's consider them in more detail.

Reducing the time allotted for the implementation of technological connections

It's no secret that any object (not necessarily new), even reconstructed, subject to electrification, must go through a whole range of actions that will subsequently help its owners go through the process of technological connection. And since we are talking about the terms of this procedure, they have been significantly reduced. So, after the approval of the amount of payment, the network organization must provide the applicant with a contract within 3 working days. The period for reissuing documentation after the change of the owner of the object has also been reduced (up to 5 calendar days).

Removal of restrictions

As for the removal of restrictions, one way or another connected with the connection procedure, they affected networks with voltage up to 20 kV. At the same time, instead of a whole procedure of permitting actions, there is now a procedure for sending a notification to Rostekhnadzor. Notification that informs about the readiness of an object for commissioning.

Additional items

In accordance with additional rules technological connection may be subject to special conditions. They include objects connected to the nationwide and nationwide power supply networks. At the same time, organizations associated with the management of nationwide networks can connect to power-receiving equipment capable of interacting with high voltages (from 110 kV). This rule applies in all cases except for the following:

• carried out electrical connection to power-receiving electrical equipment responsible for power supply of communication facilities, telecommunication centers and organizations of public television and radio broadcasting;
• the connection of power-receiving equipment responsible for the power supply of checkpoints across the border of the Russian Federation is carried out;
• if the power receiving equipment already has an active connection.

The new rules provide for the inadmissibility of charging for technological connection to electric networks , the need for which arose as a result of the development of the existing infrastructure (development of communication between network organizations of a local scale and between objects of the all-Russian electric network).

After making changes to resolution 861 the maximum period for connecting to the power grids of those objects that have already been connected to them has changed. Now it is equal to 30 days. But there is one note: in this case, we are talking only about those objects that are connected to one distribution and supply center.

Instead of a conclusion

Nowadays, there is a steady increase in electricity consumption both by entire settlements and by individual objects located in them. Related to this are the constant changes made to the regulations in force in the field of electricity supply. Keeping track of these changes is the responsibility of the power grid, electrical installation and energy supply companies. At the same time, an ordinary consumer should use the services of certified and professional organizations only.

Rules for technological connection No. 861 dated December 27, 2004 include the following sections:

• General provisions, defining the composition of the Rules, as well as the main regulated parameters. These parameters include the obligations imposed on both the grid company and the applicant. In addition, the general provisions of the Rules determine that any person has the right to carry out technological connection to electric networks. In addition, no. 861 from 12/27/2004 years determine the procedure for the implementation of technological connection, including the sequence of actions that must be carried out by the applicant in order for the technological connection to be carried out.
• The procedure for the conclusion and execution of the contract. This section defines what actions the applicant needs to take in order for the contract with the network company to be drawn up and then concluded. It also determines the acceptable form of submission of documents, as well as the list of documents required for submission. In addition, this section defines the composition of the contract, as well as a list of essential conditions that must be contained in the contract, including the term for the execution of the contract. The responsibility of the parties and the payment procedure are also regulated.
• Besides, Technological connection rules№861 from 12/27/2004 years also determine the criteria by which the possibility or impossibility of technological connection is assessed. Unfortunately, not everyone knows that you may be denied technological connection, referring precisely to the lack of technical capability to carry out technological connection in your case. It is these Rules that determine the criteria by which the grid company is guided when making a decision, as well as the procedure for the actions that the parties are required to take in order to ensure the possibility of technological connection.
• In addition, the Rules for technological connection No. 861 of December 27, 2004 also include a section that regulates the specifics of technological connection through the redistribution of power between a legal entity and an individual entrepreneur. The same section regulates the procedure for actions in case of refusal by the consumer of the maximum capacity in favor of the grid company.
• Also, the Rules for Technological Connection govern all the features of temporary Technological Connection, including the list of actions that must be taken to implement temporary Technological Connection.
• In addition, the Rules for Technological Connection No. 861 dated 12/27/2004 also include information on how the restoration and re-registration of documents on technological connection should be carried out.
• Of course, the Rules also regulate the procedure for checking compliance with technical conditions. Moreover, both the fulfillment of the technical conditions by the applicant and by the grid company, if it was provided for by the contract, are checked.

So, as we can see, the Rules for technological connection No. 861 of December 27, 2004 include the definition of absolutely all the nuances that characterize the implementation of technological connection. These Rules regulate absolutely any actions both on the part of the applicant and the network company, therefore, in the event of a dispute, it is absolutely necessary to have complete knowledge of how to proceed in accordance with these Rules. Of course, the applicant rarely has the relevant information. In addition, everyone is well aware that it is necessary not only to know the law well, but also to be able to interpret it correctly. In order for the technological connection to be carried out not only in accordance with the current legislation, but also on favorable terms for you, you need to contact an energy service company.

A grid organization together with the relevant subject of operational dispatch control for consumers of services connected to electric networks with voltages above 35 kV.

In the event that the consumer of services deviates from the values ​​of the ratio of active and reactive power consumption established by the contract as a result of participation in the regulation of reactive power under an agreement with the grid organization, he pays for the services for the transmission of electrical energy, including as part of the final tariff (price) for electrical energy supplied to him under an energy supply agreement, taking into account the reduction factor established in accordance with the guidelines approved by the federal executive authority for tariffs.

In the event that the consumer of services does not comply with the values ​​of the ratio of active and reactive power consumption established by the contract, except when this was the result of the execution of dispatcher commands or orders of the subject of operational dispatch control or was carried out by agreement of the parties, he installs and maintains devices that provide reactive power regulation, or pays for electricity transmission services, including as part of the final tariff (price) for electricity supplied to him under an energy supply agreement, taking into account the corresponding multiplying factor.

Upon detection by the network organization, based on the readings of metering devices, violations of the values ​​​​of the ratio of consumption of active and reactive power, an act is drawn up, which is sent to the consumer of services. The consumer of services, within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the act, notifies in writing of the period during which he will ensure compliance with established characteristics through self installation devices that provide reactive power regulation, or on the impossibility to fulfill the specified requirement and consent to the application of a multiplying factor to the cost of electric power transmission services. The specified period cannot exceed 6 months. If, after 10 working days, the notification is not sent by the consumer of services, the grid organization, as well as the guaranteeing supplier (power supply organization, energy sales organization) under the power supply agreement apply a multiplying factor to the tariff for electric power transmission services (including as part of the final tariff (prices) for electricity). The multiplying factor is applied before the installation of the relevant devices by the service consumer, who has violated the values ​​of the ratio of active and reactive power consumption.

Losses incurred by the grid organization or third parties in connection with the violation of the established values ​​​​of the ratio of active and reactive power consumption are compensated by the person who committed such a violation in accordance with the civil legislation of the Russian Federation.
