Second stage of connection to the distribution network – includes fulfillment of the works foreseen by connection technical specification, agreement of the technical project by system operator and successful completion of relevance testing defined by articles 150-165 and operational notification defined by articles 138–145 of requirements indicated into the articles 121–136 of “Network Rules” by small capacity power plant.
II stage of connection of small capacity power plants to the electricity distribution network is started after signing the agreement on connection foreseen by the article 69 prima article 6 of the mentioned rules by the parties and entire payment of the fee for the second stage of the connection.
Cost for the connection point (readiness of the network) is determined for connection of small capacity power plant to the distribution network that is established in accordance with the connecting capacity and is calculated in the following way:
Where – Cost of connection point of power plant (readiness of the network)
- Installed capacity of power plant;
– Cost of the connecting capacity 1 MW of power plant
a) For the plants with installed capacity up to 2 MW - k= 60 000 Gel (Including VAT)
b) For the plants with installed capacity up to from 2 MW to 15 MW - k = 300 000 Gel (including VAT)
For an example:
Person/entity who wants connection (applicant) is obliged to pay the cost fully within 20 (twenty) working days after signing the agreement on connection foreseen by the paragraph one of Article 69 prima article 6 of these rules by the parties that is calculated in the following way:
a) Cost for the second stage of connection at organizing the cells in substation owned by the system operator is the sum of the cost for network readiness calculated in accordance with the paragraph 13 of Article 69 prima article 2 of these rules and cost of the second stage for connection to the electricity distribution network.
b) In case of invasion into the system operators’ owned electricity transmission line, second stage of the connection is the cost for network readiness foreseen only by the paragraph 13 of Article 69 prima article 2 of these rules
Cost of the second stage of connection to the electricity distribution network in case of organizing the cell in system operators’ substation
