Grid connection contract
The grid connection agreement is in the energy sector a contract between the connection owner and the network operator . The connectee is the owner of an object (e.g. a house or property) that is connected to the network operator's network.
The grid connection contract contains, among other things, the address of the connection point, the property limit, the voltage level, the use of the property (access rights) and the grid connection capacity. The connectee usually pays a building cost subsidy for the grid connection capacity. The network connection capacity is the electrical power that the network operator keeps at the connection. Among other things, it determines the size of the backup. The statutory requirements of the Low Voltage Connection Ordinance apply to low-voltage connection users.
For the supply of electricity, however, another contract, the so-called electricity supply contract , is necessary. This is concluded between an electricity trader (supplier) and the connection user. The connection user can be the same person as the connection user (see connection usage contract ).
