N 861

Technological connection rules 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 responsibilities assigned to both the network company and the applicant. Besides, general provisions The Rules determine that any person has the right to make a technological connection to electrical networks. In addition, no. 861 from 12/27/2004 years determine the procedure for carrying out 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.

Unfortunately, not everyone knows that you may be denied a technological connection, citing precisely the lack of technical ability to carry out a technological connection in your case. It is these Rules that define the criteria that guide the network company when making a decision, as well as the procedure that the parties are required to carry out in order to ensure the possibility of technological connection.
• In addition, the Technological Connection Rules No. 861 dated December 27, 2004 also include a section regulating the specifics of technological connection through the redistribution of power between a legal entity and individual entrepreneur. The same section regulates the procedure in the event of a consumer’s refusal of maximum power in favor of network company.
