Technical conditions for connecting electricity to a private house. Connecting to the power grid of a private house

After building your own home, you need to deal with many other issues, one of which is connecting a private house to the power grid. Not a single building can be called fully habitable if it does not have heat, light and water, and that is why even at the construction stage all kinds of engineering communications should be laid, the operation of which directly depends on the connection to external highways.

For the most part, the troubles here are due to the fact that most people simply do not know how a private house is connected to the power grid, in particular, not everyone understands exactly where to go, as well as what documents to prepare and submit. Among other things, there is a rather vague understanding of the timing of the various works and their total cost, therefore, in order not to become dependent on the mood of some regular official, it is best to figure out in advance what regulations the organization and holding of such events is regulated.

What do you need to know?

If you do not go into the details of how the connection to the power grids of a private house is carried out, which only professional specialists, there are several main points that any ordinary consumer who decides to connect to the central power supply should remember.

All the features of this procedure are specified in sufficient detail in Rules No. 861, approved by the government back in 2007. In particular, it talks in sufficient detail about how a private house should be connected to the power grid, in particular, the technologies for this procedure are considered. To begin with, the energy supply company must conclude a special contract with the owner, according to which energy will be supplied, and it must be concluded regardless of whether it has such an opportunity at the moment.

Before looking for a mains telephone, you should consider that this rule only applies if, in the total amount, all electrical devices installed in your home will not consume more than 15 kW, since this list also includes any "objects" that have previously been connected to this connection point.

In this case, this power can be 20 kW, if from the border of your site to the nearest connection point in a straight line:

  • no more than 500 meters in rural areas;
  • no more than 300 meters in an urban area.

Where should you apply?

To get started, you will need to find out the phone number of the power grid that supplies energy in your area. The easiest way to find out this information is to contact your neighbors or call the local administration.

It often happens that the site is located on the border of the distributed areas of responsibility of two suppliers. In this case, the connection in your house will have to be carried out by the company to whose facilities (substation, poles or some other property) you are closest.

How to do it?

In order to connect a rural house or other types of private property to the power grid, you will need to file an application with the appropriate company, and indicate the following in it:

  • Passport data. It is possible to enter them from some other document proving your identity (for example, from rights), but it is better to coordinate this with your company in advance.
  • The exact address of the facility that will be connected to the supply network. For example, you can specify the exact address where your rural house is located.
  • A complete list of devices that will be connected, as well as their total power in "kW".
  • The timeframe in which you plan to complete the design, as well as commission the connected equipment. This information can be clarified with the installation or design company.

Additional documents

In addition to the application itself, the energy supply organization may require an additional list of documents from you, namely:

  • Passport or any other document specified by you in the application.
  • Proof of your ownership of the home.
  • An identification number.
  • Load calculation.
  • A complete list of all devices that you are going to connect to the mains, including an indication of the power of each of them.
  • A plan of the site, which will show all the places where the connected objects are located. It is worth noting that this diagram should outline not only the territory of the house itself, but also the adjacent area on which this or that object is located, and where the connection procedure will be carried out. This is required in order to determine how far the boundary of your land is from a particular power supply.

If the documents are submitted not by the owner, but by his representative, the energy supply organization must also receive a power of attorney, certified in advance in a specialized notary's office. Based on this application, the issuance of technical conditions for the development of the project is then carried out.

Timing

Entering electricity into the house includes a lot various stages, for each of which a certain period is provided, namely:

  • Issuance of technical specifications - no more than one month.
  • Connection, carried out on the basis of the submitted application - no more than six months from the moment the contract was concluded with the organization. This period also includes the complete laying of various communications, including cables, if the connection is made from any substation, and the installation of additional poles, if an air connection is used in your case.
  • For various installation work connected with the connection of all necessary equipment, not more than three days.

It often happens that the total distance between the connection point and the border exceeds the specified one, that is, it is more than 300 or even 500 meters. In this case, the supplier has up to two years to lay the line, but at the same time, payment for all work will be calculated at an individual rate, which, accordingly, exceeds the standard one. If desired, the client can speed up the introduction of electricity into the house, but all work in this case will also be carried out exclusively at his expense. All these issues are best addressed on an individual basis, as each company puts forward its own requirements and features of the provision of services.

Price

District electrical networks are available to all people living near them at a price of no more than 550 rubles per connection, if the total estimated energy consumption does not exceed 15 kW. In other words, if the application indicates a power of no more than 15 kW, then in this case no one has the right to demand all kinds of additional payments from the owner.

Such situations, of course, are not so frequent, but from time to time it happens that the company that owns the district electrical networks informs the owner of the house that it will be necessary to pay extra for certain works separately. There may be a variety of explanations for such requirements - the complexity of any procedures, the need for construction additional structures, increasing the technological capabilities of the installed equipment and a number of other situations. In any case, you must remember that all these requirements are illegal, and any such problems do not apply to you in any way if your house meets the requirements, that is, it is at the right distance from the connection point and does not exceed the declared capacity.

If in your case a non-standard connection is required, the list of documents can be slightly changed. Some organizations provide the opportunity to change the standard package of documents in ordinary cases, so it is best to discuss this issue on an individual basis. Within the framework of the all-Russian legislation, the regional authorities have the right to make any additions, taking into account local conditions, and in addition to this, there are also many departmental documents that clarify various provisions.

If the equipment, which includes a scheme for connecting the house to the mains, was not installed within the specified time frame (which happens quite often), the owner has the right to make a formal claim in writing. However, it should be said right away that this issue has many subtleties, so it is best to enlist the support of a qualified lawyer in advance. The suppliers with whom the connection contract was concluded may cite a variety of reasons, such as lack of funding, problems with the labor force, or some other, but in fact they all have nothing to do with the owner. There is an agreement that was not fulfilled due to the fault of the company, and experienced lawyers can often handle the case in such a way as to ultimately recover compensation for moral damages, which can be quite decent in some cases.

It is best to order a connection project from the company that will carry out the connection procedure. All organizations that do not carry out illegal connection are often dissatisfied with the fact that such documents are developed by third parties, so various difficulties may arise as a result. Competent specialists, if desired, in any case, will be able to find how to “pick up” a non-professional in this area. At a minimum, by ordering such papers from this organization, you can save your own time and nerves while negotiating, since hardly anyone will find fault with their own document.

Unauthorized entry of the cable into the house is fraught with extremely serious consequences. If such interference is noticed by the relevant organization, among other problems, they will issue you a well-founded invoice for a large amount, which will take a long time to pay.

How to connect energy in the country?

If you are an official member of a non-profit at the meeting of which the decision was made to connect "cottage electricity", an authorized representative is appointed who will, in the interests of all members of the community, figure out how to arrange a connection to the power grids of a private house of each of the participants.

What will he have to do?

To begin with, they submit a complete list of documents, which includes the following:

  • an application for connecting your partnership to the power grid;
  • a plan showing the layout of any power receivers owned by CNT members;
  • copies necessary documents, confirming the ownership of various plots and houses;
  • a copy of the officially issued decision of the general meeting of the SNT on concluding an agreement on technological connection with the organization;
  • a copy of the charter of the SNT.

After that, within 30 days, the grid organization must draw up and send a draft technical connection agreement, as well as technical conditions that must be met by consumers within its section. The total validity period for the applicant must be more than two years.

If all the terms of the drawn up technological connection agreement fully comply with the requirements of the current legislation, then in this case the chairman must sign it within the next 30 days, returning one of the copies to the address of the network company. If some norms do not comply, a reasoned refusal to sign the paper of the network organization should be sent, which after that will have five days to eliminate these comments.

After the final signing of the contract, SNT must comply with all specified technical conditions. In particular, at the expense of the members of this community, the construction of all kinds of other necessary equipment is carried out on the territory, while network company will organize the execution of work to the borders of SNT.

Tariffs in this case are standard - no more than 550 rubles for each of the participants, if they consume less than 15 kW. The only thing worth noting in this case is that for each of the members the total connection price may increase and the cost of the costs necessary to build a power line within the SNT itself, since such construction is not included in the network company's obligations.

The timing of such accession

The total period must not exceed:

  • 6 months if, in total, all SNT members consume no more than 100 kW, and the total distance from the community boundaries to the nearest network organization facilities is less than 300 meters in urban areas and 500 meters in rural areas.
  • 12 months if the above conditions are not met, but the total power consumption is less than 750 kVA.
  • 24 months if the total power consumption is more than 750 kVA. In this case, the network company may also provide for other technological connection periods, but in any case they should not exceed four years.

After the technological connection is made, the grid company must draw up and transfer to the consumer an act delimiting the balance sheet ownership of the parties, as well as their operational responsibility. Together with this document, a technological connection act is provided, and all documentation is issued absolutely free of charge.

When all activities related to the technological connection are completed, SNT will have to conclude an energy supply agreement with a supplier of last resort.

After clearance land plot the property raises the question of connecting electricity to the land. It is advisable to take care of this before building a house. The owner should take care of the electrification of the land plot, and the whole process, accordingly, places a heavy burden on the shoulders of the owner. The initial stage is associated with the collection and preparation of a standardized package of documents.

This package includes the following papers:

  • identity document of the owner (passport). When performing work on behalf of a trustee, a power of attorney certified by a notary is required;
  • certificate of ownership of the land;
  • a specially prepared drawing of the site with the designation of the nearest power transmission line pole (TL);
  • layout designation technical equipment, gas and water pipes.

Modern innovations allow you to use the Internet, print a map of your site in Yandex or Google and put marks on the border of your site. Such formats are quite accessible for submission to the organization. The standards require that if a pole is more than 25 meters from your boundary, it will be your responsibility to install an additional pole.

If all the standards are taken into account, you can safely proceed to connecting the site to electricity. On the basis of the collected documents, the regional electric grid company issues terms of reference, according to which the entire scope of work will be carried out.

Important: Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2004 N 861 states that the regional organization under whose jurisdiction your site is located does not have the right to refuse to connect electricity to your land plot.

After filing the papers within a month, the owner receives a technical condition, where the following parameters are precisely indicated:

  • network power, usually 16 kilowatts;
  • list of electricity metering devices (electricity meters);
  • introductory knife switch;
  • arrangement of protective equipment;
  • the presence of a sealed box in cases of external connection.

Technical instructions are the main document confirming the preparation of the design part.

If the owner does not have enough time, then there is an opportunity to contact a specialized company that will solve for you all issues related to the execution of permits.

Development of technical specifications

After receiving the terms of reference, it is necessary to decide on the purchase of electrical equipment. The necessary electrical equipment is determined after familiarization with terms of reference. The most commonly used devices are:

  • electric meter;
  • knife switch;
  • machine;
  • lighting;
  • cable and wires.

Stages of land electrification

The first stage of the land plot will be the preparation of the project. The schema must include the following data:

  • type of cables and wires;
  • name of electrical devices;
  • wire placement points.

When designing Special attention pay to the technical capabilities and wishes of the owner of the site.

Designers consider:

  • the location of the transformer booth;
  • future placement of the house;
  • residential lines.

If preference is given to a single-line type of electrification, then the location of internal and external lighting devices must be accurately taken into account.

All of the above issues are discussed personally with the customer at the conclusion of the contract. Properly designed installation of a summer cottage ensures uninterrupted operation of appliances and comfortable lighting throughout the entire area afterwards.

For land owners, an important element is the description of the security system in the electricity supply project. On the territory of the site, it is planned to install access control systems -, fire and burglar alarm. If you plan to build a house or cottage in the future, you need to carefully consider this.

Experts recommend including the installation of an autonomous electricity system in the project. Such systems ensure the supply of electricity during periods when the central network is turned off due to bad weather or accidents. At such times, generators provide light and heat.

Installation of electricity

After drawing up the project, the stage of installation of the power supply system begins. Installation must take place in full accordance with the project, otherwise overvoltage in the network may occur. Each element of the system must be installed according to the design scheme. If the installation is violated, there is a risk of fire. If all requirements are met, the inspector draws up an acceptance certificate and issues a permit for the further operation of electricity on this land plot.

The next step is the arrival of a specialist from an energy-saving company. He puts a seal on all elements of the system that supply voltage. The meter readings are recorded and the seals are kept intact. The created document is signed by the specialist and the owner of the site.

Particular attention should be paid to the quality installation of power supply systems, as this ensures the reliability and safety of operation of the entire system. Professional system installers recommend using corrugated pipes from non-combustible material, grounding wires and a special shield to cut off the voltage in case of reaching the maximum load.

Connection Methods

There are two types of electricity connection to the land:

  • underground cable laying;
  • air gasket.

The air connection method is considered a cheaper method, since it does not require digging a trench. The disadvantages of this method are that during a thunderstorm, hurricane or other negative impacts weather, a break may occur, or the wire may become tangled in trees or building structures. To prevent such negative phenomena, experts recommend hanging wires to a height of about 15 meters. When connecting wires to the site, it is necessary to install SIP wires (self-supporting insulated wire).

The advantage of such a wire is the presence of conductive wires, polyethylene insulation and a special cable. The presence of such elements gives the wires strength and resistance to damage. For air connection use a large number of brands of cables, but SIP-4 is most often used. Such a cable is firmly fixed with special clamps. Porcelain insulators are used for intermediate fastening.

When connecting electricity using underground trenches, a greater investment of physical strength and financial investments is required. This connection requires earthworks. However, the advantage of an underground connection is to ensure the reliability and safety of the system, independence from weather conditions.

The underground method includes the following steps:

  • digging a ditch, which should be about 75 centimeters deep, that is, necessarily below the freezing level of the soil;
  • filling the cable with a layer of sand (20 centimeters);
  • clearing the trench of debris. Be sure to remove sharp objects to prevent damage to the wires.

With an underground method of connecting to electricity, a wire without conductive wires is used. The most commonly used two-phase cable, rated for 220 volts. In cases of installation of equipment that consumes 380 volts, three-phase meters and cables are installed. Under the ground, the wires are masked with a corrugated pipe to protect against mechanical stress.

Important: When supplying electricity to the site, safety precautions should be observed:

  1. Cable wiring runs only in dry, calm weather;
  2. Electricians must be equipped with rubberized gloves and shoes.

Established requirements for proper electrification

Without buildings, the following requirements must be met:

  • intermediate spaces between electric poles should be no more than fifteen meters;
  • the gaps from the pillars to the border with the site must be more than ten meters;
  • the distance from wires to interference (trees) should be more than one and a half meters;
  • the air way of laying wires provides for a height of more than 6 meters.


Prices for electrification works

Depends on the specifics of the project and the location of the land. The price is affected by the distance from the site to the source of electricity. In cases where the distance exceeds 500 meters, the owner of the site will have to bear additional costs.

Exact prices can be found on the website of the selected company using an online calculator.

Advantages of working with specialized companies

Specialized companies have enough professionals with education and experience. In addition, having ordered installation, you can not worry about the quality of equipment and tools. The advantages of companies are the following parameters:

  • professional installation of modern high-quality equipment and dismantling of the old;
  • ensuring the rational use of electricity;
  • installation of the main power supply system up to 1000 volts;
  • installation and connection of electrical panels, residual current devices (RCD), circuit breakers, electricity meters, regulators;
  • connection of uninterruptible power supplies and systems for automatic switching on of redundant units;
  • installation of grounding and lightning protection systems;
  • installation of street lighting fixtures;
  • launch and testing of the electrical network;
  • connection of equipment and the entire system.

The estimate is drawn up taking into account building codes and rules for the installation of electrical installations. Why is it necessary to involve specialists? The answer is simple: because the connection made by specialists through cooperation with a licensed company provides the best option organization of electrical works.

Conclusion

Many people think that they can handle electrical work on the site on their own. Despite the apparent simplicity and a large amount of information on the Internet, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. Specialized organizations employ engineers, certified designers and specialists with rich experience and knowledge. The main thing that specialists provide is the quality and efficiency of work.

Important: If you are planning to connect electricity to a site without buildings, you need to competently approach the issue of choosing an organization to perform electrical work. Properly performed work will ensure high-quality and safe installation equipment.

Changes in legislation

As early as November 22, 2017, the government decree No. 1351 (On amendments to certain acts of the Government Russian Federation on Increasing the Accessibility of Energy Infrastructure for Certain Consumer Groups) entered into force.

A feature of legislative updates was a change in the conditions for connecting objects located within SNT, DNP, and other associations to electric networks.

Why use an individual connection to the power grid in a garden partnership

You often hear that someone, acquiring a land plot in SNT, is engaged in conducting an individual power line, independently connecting to the network. But what is it for?

SNT has its own infrastructure, using it will cost much less than installing your own equipment.

There are a number of circumstances that encourage citizens to resort to individual connection to networks in SNT:

  • the equipment available in SNT is fairly worn out due to long-term operation (more than 15, and sometimes 20 years). As a result, in the power line supplying a residential building and a plot, the actual power is no more than 1.5-2.0 kW. Normative indicator - 15;
  • the presence of debtors in the SNT (persons who do not pay electricity bills). Current regulations prohibit the disconnection of such consumers. Any debt present in the SNT is distributed among all members of the partnership. So everyone pays for one person. If the debt is present, all SNTs may be at risk of shutdown;
  • the charter of the SNT contains conditions that imply excessive costs for ensuring the connection of consumer facilities to the electrical network.

Attention! Our qualified lawyers will assist you free of charge and around the clock on any issues.

How is the connection of electricity in SNT

Connecting your own land plot to SNT power lines is much easier than supplying electricity yourself. Why?

Please note! If the power grid is connected collectively, then all organizational issues relating to this procedure are assigned to an authorized representative elected during the general meeting.

If the owner has decided to cope with the task on his own, then the procedure will be carried out by him personally, no one will help him in this.

All tariffs in force when connecting a subject in the SNT to the power grid are provided for by the charter. Usually they fully comply with the tariffs approved by the resource supplier company.

Connecting to electricity in SNT is actually not as troublesome as it might initially seem. The procedure is not difficult.

It is only necessary to pay for the work on bringing the power line from the main transformer substation to your own summer cottage. You will also need to install special equipment.

You will need to buy several items:

  • batch switch (64A automatic);
  • electricity meter;
  • the wire.

SNT already has poles for placing a network of wires. Although they will need to be taken out if the distance from the consumer point to the transformer is more than 25 meters.

Technical points of the procedure

I'm going to the special a store that sells electrical goods, without forgetting to take those in advance. conditions.

We buy the following necessary goods:

  • electricity meter;
  • one knife switch;
  • machine;
  • if the meter is installed from the outside, a sealed box is needed.

Attention! We are heading with all this to our site. We put the box on the outer wall of the house (as an option, we place it on a previously prepared support), perform the necessary switching in the box (we observe the PUE and the scheme in technical conditions).

If the qualifications do not allow for such work, hire an electrician. He will perform these manipulations quickly enough and in compliance with all established requirements.

Now all the wires from the outdoor box are connected directly to the switchboard located in the house (when describing the installation, it is taken into account that the wiring for connecting the light has already been prepared, or the shield with the RCD is ready along with the machines in the house).

If the shield is placed far enough from the house - on the edge personal plot on its support, a cable should be used. It is laid in a trench and brought to the house, connected to electricity.

How this type of work is carried out independently should be considered separately.

The company's specialists are engaged in connecting electricity from the pole directly to the shield at the entrance. They seal the meter and draw up a separate act on the completion of the connection of a particular consumer.

All work related to the wiring and laying of the electrical network is carried out in accordance with the current norms (rules) and subject to the established safety precautions.

Be sure to ensure that a specialist provides installation on the ground loop (this is an effective measure of protection).

Such a nuance will never be superfluous and will ensure proper safety for consumers when using electrical networks and electrical equipment. The procedure for installing grounding in a residential building must be read separately.

Documents required for connection

To connect to the power grid in SNT, prepare the following documentation:

  • separate application ();
  • plan for the placement of objects to be connected;
  • copies of documents confirming the right of ownership;
  • a copy of the decision of the general meeting of representatives of the partnership or other body, which, according to the Charter of the SNT, is authorized to make decisions on the execution of agreements with electricity supply companies;
  • a copy of the Charter of the SNT to provide to the organization-supplier of energy resources.

Submission of documents to the network company

Documents can be transferred to the address of the network company independently, by postal service, sent by courier. Within 30 days from the date when the application with the documents attached to it was received by the organization, the applicant is sent for signing a separate agreement from those. conditions for making a connection to the SNT.

Important! The draft agreement sent to the subscriber from those. conditions must have the signatures of authorized representatives of the network organization and be transferred exclusively free of charge.

The grid organization has no legal justification for refusing to connect the consumer to the power grid in the SNT (if all connection rules are followed).

The subscriber must consider the agreement transferred to him within 30 days and decide whether to sign or not. If you consider certain conditions to be inappropriate and wish to refuse to sign, send a refusal. It needs to be substantiated.

Watch the video. Connecting electricity to SNT:

Getting permission to connect

There is one caveat - if the pole from which electricity is connected is located more than 25 meters from the extreme line of the land, then another pole will need to be installed to conduct electricity to your territory.

Most likely, you will need to organize the installation yourself and pay for it. If the distance is acceptable (up to 25 meters), then there will be no problems. Follow these recommendations and ensure that electricity is supplied to your land.

As soon as the necessary documentation is submitted to the energy supplier, the company draws up those. conditions. Having them on hand, you can freely conduct electricity. Government Decree No. 861 indicates that the energy supplier has no legal grounds to refuse the applicant.

Remember! If for some technical reasons it is not possible to complete the connection of the facility to the power grid on time, the company is obliged to notify about this in advance, setting a new deadline for completing the work.

For example, one of the reasons may be the lack of technical feasibility connect the object, since the connection of another subscriber network will entail an emergency.

This means that in order to bring light to the house in the summer cottage, it will be necessary to carry out a complete modernization of the electrical network. Such a procedure can last for years, which the consumer will not be particularly happy about.

Service connection terms

The period of those connection is no more than six months, provided that such connection is made in relation to one power source, devices whose maximum power corresponds to no more than 100 kW.

At the same time, the distance from the edge of the land plot to nearby facilities related to the network economy of the electricity supplier should not be more than 300 meters for cities (towns) and no more than 0.5 km in rural areas.

Connection is carried out within a period of about a year (if a shorter period is not provided for in the investment program or in the current contract) if the conditions listed above are not met, and when the total capacity of the connected objects is not more than 750 kW

The connection period can be up to two years (if another period, but not more than 4 years, is not provided for by the terms of the investment program or the current agreement), if the maximum capacity of the connected objects is more than 750 kW.

As soon as the parties complete all activities for those. connection, separate acts are drawn up:

  • delimitation of the balance sheet belonging of power grids;
  • delineation of operational responsibility;
  • about the technical connection.

The issuance of all these documents does not require payment.

The cost of connecting electricity to SNT, taking into account consistency

Please note! It will cost the owner to conduct electricity to his land plot of 550 rubles - not so much. This tariff, established for carrying out those. electrical connection, standard.

It is valid throughout the Russian Federation if the following conditions are met:

  • an application for connecting an object is submitted by an individual. a person or an entrepreneur (IP);
  • electricity connected at the request of the subscriber will not be used for production activities;
  • subject to the maximum power indicator on the land plot in the total use of electrical appliances up to 15 kW;
  • a connection is made for the 3rd class of network reliability (a single source of power supply is provided);
  • keeping the distance. From the extreme point of the subscriber's land plot to the first power supply line with the required voltage (usually 0.4 kW) is no more than 300 meters for towns and cities and no more than 0.5 km for rural areas;
  • connection is made with a frequency of no more than once every three years.

The network organization is engaged in the execution of work on laying the power grid and installing a transformer substation (transformer substation) to the extreme point of the land plot. There is no additional fee for these services - the subscriber pays only the indicated 550 rubles.

For any SNT (DNP or garage cooperative, other associations of non-commercial persons), the price for connection will be no more than the specified amount, provided that up to 15 kW of electricity will be provided for each member of the relevant organization.

Light / Electrical connection

Connecting electricity to the house: where to start?

A long way to design electricity begins with the design of the Technical Specifications (hereinafter referred to as TU). For this paper, you need to contact the local power grid organization. In most cases, a special department has been created in each network organization - the Customer Service Center (CSC), which carries out work with future consumers electrical energy.

To apply for a technical specification, you must have the following documents with you: a passport + a photocopy of it with a residence permit, a land certificate + a copy or a certificate for a house + a copy, a land plot plan (you can draw it by hand). Further, in the CSC, an application is written for the conclusion of an agreement for technological connection to electric networks.

Here it must be remembered that the network organization does not have the right to refuse to conclude a TP agreement, because. in paragraph 3 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861 of December 27, 2004 (as amended by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 21, 2009 N 334), it is clearly stated that

“The grid organization is obliged to carry out measures for technological connection in relation to any person who has applied to it, provided that he complies with these Rules and there is a technical possibility of technological connection.

Regardless of the presence or absence of the technical feasibility of technological connection on the date of the applicant's application, the grid organization is obliged to conclude an agreement with the persons specified in paragraphs 12.1, 14 and 34 of these Rules (individuals up to 15 kW, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs with a capacity of up to 100 kW) who applied to the grid organization with an application for technological connection of power receiving devices belonging to them on the basis of ownership or on other grounds provided for by law (hereinafter referred to as the application), and also to carry out measures for technological connection in relation to power receiving devices of such persons " .

When submitting an application for a TA agreement, it must be remembered that the application must be written in 2 copies and one with the date and signature of the person who accepted the application, left and kept. This action will make life easier in the future, because. from the moment you submit your application, the network organization will have 30 days during which it is obliged to conclude this agreement with you and hand over the specifications.

If, after 30 days, no contract is concluded with you and you don’t see any papers (as often happens), then you will have a trump card in your hands, in the form of a second copy of the application with the date of its acceptance, with which you can apply to various authorities with complaints that network organizations ignore and do not comply with government regulations.

Connecting to the power grid: technical conditions, who and how to perform them.

We go further, you are lucky and after 30 days you were given a technological connection agreement with technical conditions, do not rejoice ahead of time. Before signing any documents, read them carefully to see if they contain any catch.

The first thing to remember is whether there are any redundant requirements in relation to the applicant in the TS. As an example, according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861 of December 27, 2004. (as amended by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 21.04.2009 N 334), the parties (the grid organization and the applicant) must carry out measures for technological connection within their boundaries of balance sheet ownership. Here you need to remember that if from the boundaries of your site, the distance to the nearest connection point (VL-0.4 kV or KTP) does not exceed 500 meters in rural areas and 300 in urban areas, then all activities (construction of lines, installation of wires and etc.), outside the site belonging to you, must be carried out by the network organization, within a period not exceeding 6 months.

Also, often in the technical specifications for connecting physical. persons up to 15 kW, you can meet the requirements for the implementation of the project for electricity supply - this is an excessive requirement

In accordance with the Rules for the technological connection of power receivers of consumers of electrical energy, facilities for the production of electrical energy, as well as electric grid facilities owned by grid organizations and other persons, to electric networks (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2004 No. 861):

Clause 18 "Measures for technological connection include: ... c) the development by the applicant of project documentation within the boundaries of his land plot in accordance with the obligations stipulated by the technical specifications, except for cases when, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on urban planning activities, the development of project documentation is optional;"

Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, clause 3 of article 48:

"The preparation of project documentation is not required during construction, reconstruction, overhaul objects of individual housing construction (detached residential buildings with no more than three floors, intended for one family). The developer, on his own initiative, has the right to ensure the preparation of project documentation in relation to the objects of individual housing construction.

The absence of a project in cases other than the above may prevent not only technological connection to electric networks, but also obtaining a building permit (Urban Planning Code).

Moreover, apparently, the power supply project is part of the "architectural and construction design" defined by the Town Planning Code, since the established composition of the relevant project documentation includes "information about engineering equipment, about engineering networks".)

And now, you have signed specifications and an agreement for those. accession. The question arises what to do next. It is necessary to fulfill all the points of the technical conditions, namely the requirements for the applicant and, if any, General requirements. We carry out technical measures, namely: installation of the metering station at the border of the balance sheet (on the outer wall of the house or on the support of the 0.4 kV overhead line), we mount the wires from the metering station to the border of the site (with a margin, so that later, at the time of connecting them connected to an existing or newly built power line). If the house is built, we carry out the installation of internal networks (not all, but at least the exit from the metering station to the machine, with the aim of subsequent sealing of the metering station without problem).

Connecting electricity to the house: registration of permits.

Installation is completed (on its own or not, it does not matter), you can proceed to the most difficult procedure - issuing permits.

All registration comes down to obtaining several papers:

1. the act of entering or inspecting the metering device;

2. an act of delimitation of balance sheet and operational affiliation;

3. the act of fulfilling the specifications;

4. Act of inspection (admission) of the electrical installation;

5. Contract for electricity supply.

In each region, there may be a little less or more of these securities, because. each has its own requirements.

Now more about each paper.

Electricity connection: Act of input or inspection of the meter

For this paper, you need to apply to the network organization, namely to its division of district electric networks (RES), to the head or master of electricity metering. Getting this paper comes down to the following.

Having completed the installation of the metering unit, you bring a representative of the network organization to the place where he carefully examines the metering device and, if everything suits him, seals it and issues an act of putting the metering device into operation. It is also possible that the sealing will be made after the voltage is applied, in this case, ask the representative of the network organization for an inspection report of the metering device.

Connecting electricity: An act of delimitation of balance ownership and operational responsibility

It is also issued in the RES, but you already need to contact the head or chief engineer. This paper will describe in detail the scheme of your connection and who is responsible for what. Simply put, it will be written what you are responsible for (and these are the input wires to the house, the electricity metering unit and internal wiring at home) and a network organization (this is a 0.4 kV overhead line (from which you were connected, a transformer, etc.)

Electricity connection: Certificate of fulfillment of specifications

Issued by a network organization. This paper should indicate that you have completed all the points of the technical specifications and that you are actually ready to be turned on.

Electricity connection: Certificate of inspection (permission) of the electrical installation

Previously, this paper was issued by Rostekhnadzor, but according to new requirements given function moved to a network organization. So for this paper we turn again to the address of the network organization. This act can be obtained, as a rule, having 3 of the above acts in hand.

Electricity connection: Electricity contract

For the contract, you no longer need to apply to the network, but to the sales organization (that is, to whom you will pay bills for the consumed electricity). The contract must be applied for after receiving all of the above acts. The contract for electricity supply is the final stage in this difficult way of connecting to the electricity grid.

Having the contract in hand, we return back to the distribution zone, show it (the agreement) to the head or chief engineer, give copies of all the above acts and connect, by the forces of the distribution zone, electricity to our land holdings.

All of the above describes the connection procedure in general terms (typical requirements) and, depending on your location, these requirements may be less or more stringent.

The procedure for obtaining technical conditions and connecting any object to the power supply in the Russian Federation is regulated by the "Rules for technological connection ...", adopted by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861 of December 27, 2004, the last changes to which were made in 2017. This document determines the regulation on how to get the opportunity to connect to electricity to individuals and legal entities that are consumers, as well as entities engaged in the production and distribution of electricity - power plants and power grid enterprises. Consider the procedure for obtaining technical conditions for the power supply of a private house, garage, land and other objects owned by a private or legal entity.

Established procedure for obtaining technical conditions

The first thing to do is to be clear. In accordance with the rules in force in the Russian Federation, technical conditions are an integral part of the technological connection agreement, that is, technical specifications (technical conditions) are not an independent document, and their receipt without an agreement is not provided. In order to be able to connect the power plant to electricity, the following steps must be completed:

  • Submission of an application for the conclusion of an agreement and receipt of technical conditions to the network organization.
  • Signing of an agreement regulating legal and technical aspects technological connection.
  • Fulfillment of technical conditions and other clauses of the contract necessary in order to be able to connect electricity.
  • Obtaining a permit for connection to the power supply of the Applicant's facilities, issued by the authorities of the State Energy Supervision Authority.
  • Implementation of the connection of the Applicant's facilities, carried out by the grid organization in accordance with the technical conditions.
  • Drawing up an act of the established form, certifying the implementation of the connection in accordance with the technical conditions.

The procedures listed above are necessary in the following cases:

  • When it is necessary to obtain technical conditions for connecting a new facility to the power supply.
  • With an increase in the volume of the operating object.
  • When changing the power supply scheme. For example, if you need to get a different category of power supply reliability, change the connection point of the object.

The application is submitted to the grid company whose power supply facilities are closest to the Applicant's site. The proximity of energy facilities determines easier technical conditions that allow access to electricity. The application form can be either paper, sent by mail, or electronic, that is, submitted via the Internet, on the website of the organization providing electricity. A sample application to be filled out can be obtained by downloading the appendix to the Rules.

A grid company that has received an application for concluding an agreement and obtaining technical conditions (TS) for connecting to electricity is obliged, within 15 days from the date of receipt of the application, to send to the applicant a paper version of the completed and signed agreement in two copies and the technical specifications that are an integral part of this document . This obligation is also valid in the case when the applicant used the Internet to submit the application and submitted it on the company's website.

If the technological connection to electricity is carried out in accordance with an individual power supply project, the signed version of the contract and the technical specifications are sent to the applicant within three days from the date of approval of the cost of the technological connection. Approval of the cost of connection to electricity is carried out government agency authorized to regulate electricity tariffs. In the event that an applicant submits an application for technical conditions for the temporary connection of electrical installations to the network, the grid company sends a draft contract and technical specifications to him within ten days from the date of application.

In the event that the technical conditions for the connection of electricity must be agreed with the System Operator, the term for preparing the draft contract and technical conditions (TS) may be extended by the grid company for the time necessary to obtain such approvals. In this case, the network company informs the applicant about it. Sending documents in this option is carried out within three days from the date of receipt of the necessary approval.

In turn, the applicant, who has received from the network organization a signed draft contract and technical conditions (TS), must send to its address one copy of the document signed by him within thirty days. If the applicant does not agree with the provisions of the draft sent to him, he must send a reasoned refusal with a protocol of disagreements, which indicates changes in the text of the contract and technical conditions (TS), the introduction of which is necessary in his opinion. All this must be done within the same thirty days.

After the contract for technological connection for supplying electricity is concluded, the grid organization within two days notifies the market entity through which the applicant is going to get access to electricity to supply the facility, and conclude the corresponding contract. At the same time, the grid organization sends to the electricity supplier a copy of the contract with technical conditions, as well as copies of the applicant's documents.

What documents are needed to obtain TU

According to the rules, in order to be able to connect electricity, the following documents must be attached to the application:

  1. Scheme of the location of electrical installations for which it is necessary to obtain permission to connect to the power supply.
  2. Wiring diagram (single-line) of the applicant's networks. The requirement applies only to networks of 35 kV and above.
  3. List of electrical installations with indication of their power. Refers to devices that can be connected to emergency automation circuits.
  4. A copy of the title deed relating to the connected object.
  5. For legal entities, it is necessary to obtain an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

For individuals applying for the conclusion of an agreement and obtaining technical specifications for the connection of electrical installations with a capacity of not more than 15 kW, intended for needs not related to the functioning of the business, the following data must be provided:

  • Full name and passport data of the applicant, or data of another document that can verify the identity of the applicant in accordance with the current laws of the Russian Federation.
  • A document confirming the place of residence of the applicant.
  • The maximum value of the requested power of electrical installations, which they are able to receive at the applicant's facility.

The contract for connection to electricity contains a list of technical measures, the implementation of which is mandatory for the provision of electricity. The activities and those responsible for their implementation are listed in the attached technical conditions.
