Connection to the power grid: you will install solar panels with an installed capacity of ≤10.8 kW on an existing house and want prosumer certification before connection (the installed capacity is greater than the absorbed power)

The connection to the power grid process starts when you submit a connection notification (Appendix 5) to us, the distribution operator. Download the notification below, complete it, and submit it via your online account, which you will also use for the other steps in the connection process.

We review the notification and submitted documents and will provide a response within a maximum of seven working days. Additionally, we inform you that the ATR will be issued within 15 days and that you will need to submit documents specific to your generation installation. You will receive our response in your online account.

If the documents are complete and correct, you will receive an invoice for the ATR. After payment, you will receive the ATR. Information about the costs related to issuing the ATR and connection can be found here. Payment instructions are included in the issued invoice. If the documents are incomplete or incorrect, you will receive a response with clarifications or necessary modifications.

The distribution operator determines the technical connection solution (route and necessary materials) within a maximum of 15 working days. These details will be included in the ATR, which you will receive after paying the invoice. If you are not satisfied with the proposed technical solution, you can contest the ATR within 30 calendar days. We will respond within a maximum of 30 calendar days.

To start the connection to the power grid work, you must choose whether to proceed with the distribution operator or an ANRE-certified company. After selecting your option, ensure you have paid the ATR invoice if you have not already done so. Once the ATR is obtained, download the request for signing the connection contract, complete it, and submit it via your online account.

After reviewing the request, if all information is correct and complete, we will send the connection contract within a maximum of three working days.

You sign the connection to the power grid contract you received from us.

You pay the connection to the power grid costs as specified in the connection contract.

The distribution operator or an ANRE-certified company will design and execute the connection works. During this step, additional documents or approvals may be required, which will be obtained by the contractor. The documents will be submitted online. After obtaining all approvals, the execution of your connection must be completed within a maximum of 90 calendar days.

An ANRE-certified company of your choice will prepare the usage installation file, which contains the necessary documents to continue the process. Additional information about the usage installation file can be found here. The complete file can be submitted via your online account, by email, or uploaded directly here.

We inspect the executed works, and if everything is in compliance, the connection to the power grid installation (the infrastructure outside your property up to the meter) will be commissioned.

After the generation installation is mounted and its documentation is submitted to us, we will update the connection certificate within a maximum of 14 days from the submission of the complete documentation and completion of the connection installation. The connection certificate confirms the presence of a new consumption and generation point in the network. Within the same 14-day period, we will replace the electricity meter.

To use and inject electricity into the network, you must sign a contract with an electricity supplier.

After signing the contract with the supplier, we will energize the usage installation within a maximum of five working days.

At the end of the connection to the power grid process, we will adjust the costs based on the documents and expenses outlined in the ATR. If applicable, you will receive a partial refund according to the calculation formulas established by ANRE that we apply.
