How to increase electricity power in a house, garage, apartment and non-residential premises up to 15 kW, up to 30 kW: documents, cost

Why might it be necessary to increase the power supply capacity of a private home?

Situations when the connected power is not enough are very common. As a rule, they are faced with:

after repairs and redevelopment;
when expanding the area of the home;
after installing an electric floor system;
if necessary, use several household appliances at the same time (electric oven, washing machine, dishwasher, TV, air conditioner, microwave oven, etc.).

Increasing the power of electricity allows you to use the required number of electrical appliances without fear of problems, failures, traffic jams and other problems with power supply at home.

Ways to increase the power supply capacity of a private home

There are three ways that will allow you to use more electrical power in a private home:

Increasing capacity by submitting an application to the network company. To do this, you need to collect a package of documents and draw up an application according to the established template. If the requested power does not exceed 15 kW, then the cost of the measures will be 550 rubles.
Setting the priority relay. It won't actually increase power. However, using the device will allow you to distribute it correctly. The principle of operation of the relay is quite simple. If the existing power is exceeded, it turns off equipment that is not a priority.
Installing the inverter. The device accumulates power during periods when practically no electricity is consumed. For example, at night. Having accumulated a certain power reserve, the inverter turns on during peak load periods.

The choice of the most suitable option for increasing power depends on the capabilities, wishes and requirements of the home owner.

Stages of increasing the power supply capacity of a private home

First of all, it is necessary to establish the amount of power that the house needs. To do this, add up the power of all regularly used electrical appliances. Then you need to go through a bureaucratic procedure, which includes the following steps:

preparation and submission of a package of documents to the power grid organization;
obtaining technical specifications;
development and approval of a power supply project for a private home (if necessary);
implementation of technical measures;
receiving Acts from the network company;
submitting documents to the energy supply company to amend the contract.

Project development and electrical installation work must be carried out by specialized organizations that have SRO approvals.

Increase in allocated electrical power

24.09.2011

Light / Electrical connection

In existing norms and rules for the design and operation of electrical installations, the definition of this term sounds different, but the meaning remains the same, namely:

An electrical installation or part thereof that is energized or to which voltage can be supplied by switching on the switching equipment is considered to be operational.

Thus, if the electrical installation is operational, in other words, if its power has been reserved, then the fee for connecting such an electrical installation to the power grid (for example, when changing the owner, tenant, etc.) should not be charged.

Therefore, in this decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the term “operating electrical installation” is absent (and this is important, since the absence of such a term confirms the inconsistency of the requirements of electric grid organizations for consumers of electrical energy in terms of payment for technological connection or for the implementation of any measures for technological connection to electrical networks).

In this case, for example, when the owner (tenant) of an object changes, the new owner of the electrical installation does not require technical conditions (TS) for technological connection to the electrical network and he has the right to obtain permission from the electrical network organization to connect power by re-registering the connected capacity of the previous owner of the electrical installation.

Confirmation of allocated electrical power

To do this, in addition to other set of documents (coordination with the balance holder of the network (if the applicant is a sub-subscriber), a situation plan of the area, a certificate from the energy sales organization about the absence of debt in payment for consumed electricity, title documents, etc.), it is necessary to submit permission to connect the power of the previous owner to the electric grid organization or an act of delimitation of balance sheet ownership and operational responsibility (ARBPiEO) for a given electrical installation between its previous owners and the electrical grid organization.

But even in such an unambiguous situation, the new owner (tenant) of the purchased facility (building, premises, etc.) has to strain to prove the obvious fact that this electrical installation was not newly installed, but was previously connected to the electrical network. Despite the fact that the electric grid company knows about this, the absence of a “piece of paper” - permission to connect the power of the previous owner of the facility or ARBPiEO - will not allow the new owner of the facility, until he finds this “paper,” to re-register the power of the electrical installation.

You should know that in accordance with clause 1.8.1 of the current Rules for the technical operation of consumer electrical installations, a set of technical documentation in electrical installations must be transferred to the owner in full when the owner changes.

When do you have the right not to pay when re-registering electric power?

It is in this case that a number of non-standard and conflict situations arise that do not allow the new owner of the facility (electrical installation) to legally obtain permission for connected power and form an ARBPiEO, including the following:

For some reason, the previous owner of the electrical installation did not have permission to connect power and ARBPiEO, for example: they were lost or he did not have them (such cases occur in practice when, in the presence of an energy supply contract, there is no permission to connect power);
the previous owner, for various reasons, does not want to give the power documents to the new owner of the electrical installation (for example, he wants to sell the power in the form of such a document);
the owner of the electrical installation disappeared (disappeared in an unknown direction);
unknown data (company name, last name of the previous owner, etc.) and coordinates of the previous owner of the object (for example, the premises or building was purchased at auction), etc.

The previous owner of the electrical installation provided the new owner only with a copy of the power connection permit or a copy of the ARBPiEO. However, the power grid organization may not accept copies and may require the originals of these documents. This requirement is not regulated by any legal act. Moreover, such documents for the existing electrical installation must be available at the electrical grid company itself. But nevertheless, such a vicious practice has recently been increasingly taking place, for example, in OJSC “MOESK” and is aimed at illegally obliging the new owner to conclude a technological connection agreement with the company with subsequent payment, despite the fact that this electrical installation is operational.

The new owner purchased (rented) only part of the facility (for example, one of three premises on the 1st floor of the building), and despite having permission to connect the total capacity of the facility (building, 1st floor, etc.) he does not have the possibility (due to the absence of other owners or their reluctance) to “divide” the total capacity of all premises in the proportion required for it. In this case, a deadlock situation arises for the new owner of the facility: he does not have the opportunity to “prove” to the electric grid company the presence of an operating electrical installation

If the new owner (tenant) reissued the permission to connect power, then with a “profound” phrase in the text of the permission itself: “... subject to the consent of the owner (balance holder) of the internal network and according to his specifications.” The meaninglessness of such a requirement lies in the fact that the consent of the owner (balance holder) of the network had already been obtained earlier when submitting documents for a permit to the network company (without such consent, the documents of the network company would not have been accepted). The situation for the consumer of electrical energy is further aggravated by the fact that when registering the ARPBIEO, it is again required to obtain from the balance holder of the network the same approval for power connections, and the consumer that it was received earlier.

When the power supply contract is terminated by the previous owner of the premises (building), the energy sales company stops supplying voltage to this facility. Moreover, in a number of cases, the previous owner may find himself in debt to the energy sales organization in terms of payment for consumed electricity. In order to connect an existing electrical installation to the network, the new owner of a premises (building) must not only repay the debt of the previous owner, but also prove to the network organization that this electrical installation was operational, that is, the decisions indicated above in paragraphs. 1 and 2.

Payment for technological connection to electric grids also cannot be charged if the existing power is divided into several capacities with the consent of the balance holder of the network, which has permission to connect the total capacity. In this case, each of the new owners (tenants, etc.) submits to the electric grid company a set of necessary documents to obtain permission to connect power. As a result, each of the owners of the facility receives permission to connect power, and the previous permission to connect power is canceled, which is recorded in each of the permissions to connect divided power.

When purchasing non-residential premises in new buildings that have a separate built-in substation for non-residential premises, the owners (tenants) of these premises, who have to obtain permission to connect power, often have no idea how much power is allocated to them. In such cases, some of these owners (tenants) act on the principle: “those who are not in time are late” and try to arrange maximum capacity for their premises. In some cases, they even manage to obtain full power for all non-residential premises.

When do you have to pay when registering electric power?

However, even during the operation of existing electrical installations, situations may arise related to payment for technological connection to electrical networks that are not specified in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 861, for example:

when the category of power supply of a given electrical installation changes or during its reconstruction, although its power consumption remains the same. Since in this situation the external power supply scheme for the consumer of electrical energy has changed, he is obliged to obtain new specifications for technological connection;
For certain reasons, the power supply of an existing installation can be transferred from one supply center to another. In this case, its connection to the new power center is formalized as the connection of a new electrical installation

At a joint meeting of the presidium of the All-Russian public organization of small and medium-sized businesses "Support of Russia" with the participation of RAO "UES of Russia", FAS and FST of the Russian Federation on April 23, 2008, dedicated to the problems of corruption when connecting to electric grids, special attention was paid to the illegal demands of energy companies for the second time pay for the electrical capacity already supplied to the enterprise when changing the legal entity. “This is a very important issue, since this phenomenon can turn into massive abuses in the light of the ongoing municipal privatization,” explained Andrei Korkunov, vice-president, head of the Industrial Policy Committee of the Opora Russia movement. The reaction of the deputy board of RAO UES of Russia, Leonid Gozman, followed immediately: “This is illegal! Report such cases to us and we will strangle you!”

A lot has changed since then. RAO UES was liquidated, its key assets were privatized. Leonid Gozman, following his boss Anatoly Chubais, moved to the state corporation Rusnano, where he is engaged in the development of high technologies. However, cases of extortion of money when registering electrical power, unfortunately, continue to occur.

How to increase electricity output in the garage

To increase the electrical power in the garage, you must contact the network company with an application, where you also provide the following list of documents:

a copy of the certificate confirming the right to own the garage;
a copy of a passport or other document that serves as an identity document in the Russian Federation;
situational plan with the location of the garage;
a copy of the TIN certificate.

After receiving an application to increase capacity and a package of documents, the organization will issue the garage owner with technical conditions that must be met. It is worth noting that all work inside the premises is carried out by the applicant independently. Once the technical conditions are met, an inspection will be carried out. Based on its results, the garage owner will receive a Certificate on the basis of which the energy supply organization will increase capacity.

Connection features

The allocation of additional power begins with the preparation of electricity consumers and the revision of the power supply scheme on the site or in the building in accordance with the new technical conditions. You will have to prepare a whole list of documents and contact the network company. Previously, these were MOESK, Mosenregosbyt and many others, but now they have all merged into Rosseti. The organization operates in Moscow, the Moscow region and all other regions of the country.

You probably don't know how to apply for a power increase.

This task is not simple and involves the following algorithm:

1. Preparation of a large package of documents. The exact list depends on the type of object, maximum permissible power and other factors.

2. Development of project documentation and its approval.

3. Obtaining all necessary permits.

4. Filling out the application according to the sample.

5. Submission of documents to the energy supply organization.

6. Obtaining consent and technical conditions to be met.

7. Obtaining increased allocated power.

Each stage has specific difficulties and nuances. Even a small unaccounted for detail can cause a failure. In addition, all this will take a lot of time, since each step will take you a long time.

If there is no desire to experiment, and there is an acute lack of power, you will need the help of Electrim Group of Companies. We provide services to legal entities and private clients. The power can be increased in non-residential premises, country houses, SNT, and any other facility. Action plan for legal entities Individuals and private clients vary, but you won't have to worry about that.

The order will be approximately as follows:

1. Specialists will carefully study the features of the object and existing technical documents.

2. Design documentation is being developed. This takes into account all changes that will be added to the project.

3. Additionally, permits and approvals are issued through government services and other relevant organizations.

4. When all documents are ready, specialists will prepare a letter with an application for increasing capacity. The presence of the customer is not required; everything will be done turnkey.

5. After reviewing and approving the application, specialists select the best technical conditions, taking into account the interests of the client. As a result, only necessary work will be completed.

6. Registration of technical specifications is not enough, so we are engaged in their implementation. All electrical installation work will be carried out with quality control and final calculations. Everything will be done strictly according to the design documents, so there will be no problems with putting the facility into operation.

As a result, the power will be increased to the required limits - 15, 30, 50, 150 kW and more. All this is discussed individually.

How to increase electricity power in an apartment

Many homeowners in apartment buildings are faced with the need to increase power. Typically, such needs arise after installing electric heated floors, a powerful air conditioning system or an electric stove. As a rule, apartments can increase their power up to 15 kW, which allows them to take advantage of a reduced tariff.

When increasing power in apartments, there is a certain nuance. It is impossible to allocate additional energy to a specific owner. The balance holder of the network for the whole house must request an increase in power.

The increase in power in the apartment occurs as follows:

submission of an application by the balance holder of the internal electrical network (management company) to the network organization;
obtaining a contract and technical conditions;
fulfillment of specifications;
checking technical specifications, issuing documents on technological connection and supplying additional power.

The most difficult thing in this process is to convince the management company to fulfill its obligations. Often they do not want to apply and fulfill technical conditions for the sake of one apartment. Therefore, it makes sense to team up with several neighbors.

Obtaining permission to add capacity

First you need to decide on the process itself and how it happens. To ensure the allocation of additional power, it is necessary from the very beginning to approve this action in the energy producing and energy transmission companies and collect the necessary accompanying documentation.

Do not forget that the opportunity to carry out such work must be realized, and the project must be complete and take into account even seemingly insignificant details.

The development of such projects is permitted to companies licensed in the relevant industry.

To satisfy the application, it must be correctly drawn up and accompanied by accompanying documents indicating the fact of the availability of capacity available for connection.

Capacity is not added if its allocation would cause inconvenience to consumers previously connected to it, or if it overloads the existing energy system.

Now you need to indicate the papers needed for permission to provide. First, you need to write a petition to the head of the DEZ from the tenant responsible for this housing, with a request to add power from the capacities allocated for this building.

Next, you need to write a petition to the head of the Connection and Prospective Development Service of the Moscow Cable Network of Mosenergo OJSC, which indicates your need for DEZ to add additional power to the premises due to the existing capacity of this residential building, as well as to obtain the necessary technical conditions.

Among other things, the original is required, and in its absence, a photocopy of the housing purchase and sale agreement will do; if it is not there, then instead of the agreement, a certificate of entry into the register will do. Among other things, you need permission from MVK to carry out redevelopment, a design for the electrical network inside the premises, a design for the installation and connection of an additional cable from the electrical panel of the building, carried out by a company with the appropriate license.

How to increase electrical power in a commercial space

Commercial premises often use large energy consumers. These can be refrigeration units in workshops, air conditioning systems in offices, freezers in stores, and so on. Therefore, many owners of commercial premises are faced with the need to increase electrical power. The procedure includes several basic steps:

Submitting an application to a network organization. It is compiled according to a standard model. Also attached to the application:

a copy of a document confirming the right to dispose of commercial premises;
extracts from the Unified State Register, Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs or Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
a copy of the enterprise's Charter (if available);
a copy of the order appointing the head of the organization (if available);
a document that confirms the authority of the person submitting the application to the network organization.

Issuance of technical conditions and contracts for increasing capacity. The technical specifications contain a list of works that must be performed by the applicant and the network organization.
Carrying out technical activities. The costs of work carried out inside the premises are borne by the applicant. The remaining activities are carried out by the network organization. After completion of the work, an inspection is carried out, as well as certificates are issued.
Amendments to the contract. Within 30 days after completion of work and receipt of documents, the applicant must include information about increasing capacity in the contract with the energy supply company.

Documents for increasing electricity capacity

The list of documents for increasing power does not differ from the list of documents for a new connection to the power grid.

For legal entities, the following documents are attached to the application:

location plan of energy receiving devices;
a copy of the title deed;
extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
statutory documents.

Clause 11, 861 of the RF PP: “The grid organization does not have the right to demand the submission of information and documents not provided for by these Rules, and the applicant is not obliged to submit information and documents not provided for by these Rules.”

If the interests of the applicant are represented by a third party, a power of attorney is provided; some regions require a notarized power of attorney.

For non-residential premises located in a residential building, a copy of the document confirming the consent of the organization managing the apartment building is required.

For physical persons, in accordance with 861 PPRF, clause 10. The following documents are attached to the application:

a copy of the document confirming ownership;
passport;
location plan of energy receiving devices;
notification of the absence of energy receiving devices that can be connected to emergency automatic devices.

How to increase electricity power in non-residential premises

Non-residential premises are commercial real estate that is used as offices, shops, small workshops and so on. Owners often face a shortage of electrical power because a large amount of equipment is used at the same time - air conditioners, computers, heaters, freezers, and so on. Non-residential premises are located in buildings under the control of the management company. There, as a rule, several users are connected to the network at once. Therefore, the best option for increasing power in this case would be to install a separate power cable, which will be used only in one room.

The procedure for increasing power in a non-residential premises includes the following steps:

Submitting an application and package of documents to the network organization. The application is drawn up according to the established template. The package of documents includes:

floor plan where all electricity receivers are located;
a copy of the document confirming the right to dispose of the premises;
extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
a copy of the organization's Charter;
a copy of documents on the appointment of a manager;
a document that confirms the rights of the person submitting the application.

Receipt by the applicant of technical conditions and agreement. The network organization reviews the application within 15 days. If errors or insufficient documents are identified, the applicant will be notified.
Fulfillment of technical conditions. All activities that must be performed by the applicant and the network company are specified in the technical specifications. The agreement regulates the terms, rights and obligations of the parties. Indoor activities are carried out by the customer, and all other work is carried out by the network organization.
Actual increase in power. After completion of the work, a representative of the organization conducts an inspection, puts seals on the meters and draws up reports.

The customer must also make changes to increase capacity in the contract with the energy supply company within a month.

How to increase allocated power

Private person

The first step is to collect a package of documents. It’s worth starting with obtaining technical specifications and developing an electrical project. A power supply project for an installation is a set of technical documentation made in accordance with GOSTs and state regulations. It can only be performed by organizations with the required license. And here you will need a floor plan, it can be ordered from design studios, a certificate of the amount of allocated energy, technical specifications, etc. Certain points can be discussed individually or the designer will visit the site to familiarize himself with the task.

The next step is coordination of the project with energy supply organizations. Next, the installation is tested and its compliance with the design. If the object does not comply with the project, it is necessary to either bring it into compliance or order a new project according to the actual situation.

After this, an approval certificate is drawn up, this is done by energy supervision employees. At the end, a complete package of documents with all permits is submitted to the energy supply organization and the connection or increase in the allocated power is carried out.

In total, to increase the allocated electrical power, you will need:

Obtaining technical specifications.
Development of a power supply project.
Coordination of the project with the energy supply organization.
Checking the installation.
Drawing up an admission certificate.
Transfer of a package of documents to the ES organization.
Conclusion of a new agreement.

To draw up an electrical project you need:

The act of delimiting balance sheet ownership (take it to the DEZ or comrades of home owners).
Certificate of allocated power.
A document that confirms ownership of real estate.
A site plan showing ALL electricity receivers.

The cost of the increase is determined in accordance with the resolution of the Moscow Regional Economic Commission No. 121 dated December 22, 2008. of the year and FEC MO No. 10-R dated 04/09/2009. The applicant pays for connection work in the amount of 550 rubles. Additional costs will be:

replacement of wiring;
replacement of circuit breakers;
changing the object layout;
drawing up an electrical project;
power cable installation services;
a new electricity meter will need to be replaced and installed on a model corresponding to the number of phases and current consumption.

Applications for such services, both for individuals and legal entities, are submitted in a single window. You may be refused if there are no technical means to increase the established limit. This can happen if the transformer is already overloaded, and there is no free one nearby.

Enterprises and legal entities

If the allocated power in the premises is too small, a legal entity can increase it on preferential terms (one time) up to 15 kW. More than 15 kW there are no benefits, then these services are paid at tariffs for legal entities. When the allocated power increases, the consumption at nearby transformer substations (transformer substations) is analyzed and, if there is a power reserve, one of them is given the go-ahead for an increase, after approval. The procedure is called “MOESK capacity re-registration”, and if there are “free resources” it can be carried out free of charge.

The cost of the procedure for increasing the allocated power depends on:

final power value;
geographical location of the object;
technical ability to connect to the line;
energy supply categories.

We also recommend watching a video that discusses the idea of increasing power by using an inverter:
