Make the connection

In order to facilitate the start-up, to independently connect electricity to the ground, we divide the procedures into two stages: organizational measures (collect documents, submit an application, etc.) and technical (especially design and electrical work).

Get permission

Regulatory measures involve submitting a package of documents to the energy supply organization, such as:

• A copy of the passport of the citizen – the owner of the site (if an application is submitted by another person, a power of attorney is attached).
• A copy of the document confirming ownership of the house or summer cottage.
• Site plan with the location of power receivers and the designation of the nearest support of the power line, as well as indicating the exact location of all engineering systems on the site, including the gas pipeline and water pipelines.
• Single-line circuit for the applicant’s electrical networks.
• Consent to the processing of personal data (in accordance with the requirements of Federal Law “On Personal Data” No. 152 of July 27, 2006.

It is better to clarify the list of necessary documents and the procedure for their implementation and present them in the decision.

Land data can be provided from the general cadastral map, where the land can be found through the land cadastral number indicated in the ownership documents.

There is a moment that if the pole through which you can deliver electricity to you is further than 25 meters from the boundaries of the site, then in order to connect light on the site, you will have to install an additional pole, and most likely at their own expense.

If everything is in order for this and the distances are within the normal range, then there will be no difficulties and, following our recommendation, you will be able to deliver electricity to the site. Based on these documents, the power supply company must issue technical specifications, thanks to which you can actually connect the light.

In case of a positive answer, within a month you will have on hand a document connection agreement and technical conditions, with a permissible power of up to 16 kW (a country house and a residential house differ), the name of the meter for measuring electricity, an input circuit breaker, a protective UZO device And a sealed box for outdoor installation.

By the way, you can save a lot of time running around in situations and do what you like at this time.

In short: take registration, submit an application, attach copies of the documents described above, there is also the possibility of a preliminary application with a calculator, an indication of the invoice amount for connecting to the electrical network. In other words, on this site you can find out what documents are required to bring electricity to the site, even if it is without buildings, as well as how much it will cost to electrify something.

Artistic activities

We take the technical case and go to a specialized store for electrical goods. We purchase meter, automatic machines and sealed box for outdoor electricity meter installation.

We go to our personal organization, install the box on the outer wall of the house or the prepared support, we make the switch in the box according to the PUE and schemes in the technical condition, or for a fee, the wiring will be done by a specialist.

Further wiring will have to be done from the street box to the switchboard in your home (the article indicates the presence of finishing electrical wiring for turning on the light, or a shield prepared with an RCD and automatic machines in the room). If the metering board stands on a separate support, far on the border of a personal plot, you can lead the cable into the ground into a trench to the electrified house. About how to make underground electrical wiring do it yourself we talked in detail.

Electricity from the post will be connected to the subscriber’s input panel by specialists from the company who will also close the meter and draw up an act on the subscriber’s connection. Connection of electrical wires and wires must be carried out in accordance with applicable standards and rules and in compliance with safety precautions.

Without fail, it is also necessary to install a protective ground loop, in our age of technology and electrical appliances it will not be superfluous.

How much is electricity?

As a separate item, I would like to consider the cost of electricity for the summer house. In fact, you cannot determine the exact price, it depends on several factors, which are:

1. Distance from home to electricity source. In the city, the distance should not exceed 300 meters, in the village – 500 meters. In order to invest the minimum connection amount – 550.
2. The area you are in. For example, in Moscow, bringing the electrical network to your shield is more expensive than in the Kamchatka Territory.
3. Connection type – new or existing. Again, in the first case, connecting electricity will be more expensive.
4. Voltage level 0.4 kV or 6-10 kV. It is also an important indicator, although only 0.4 kV is used for a residential building, but still, if you want to connect a higher voltage to the body, consider this nuance.

That’s all I wanted to tell you about how to connect electricity to the site with your own hands and how much this procedure costs. After familiarizing yourself with the stages of work, you can proceed to collecting documents and other actions!
