Pursuant to Section 98 (8) of Act No. 458 / 2000 Coll., on the Terms and Conditions of Business and on the Enforcement of State Administration in the Energy Sector and on the Amendment of Certain Laws (hereinafter referred to as the Act), the Energy Regulatory Authority provides for the implementation of § 17 (7) (d) and having regard to § 51 (2) of the Act:
Subject matter
This decree sets out the conditions for the procedure of the protected customer (1) and the distribution system operator when connecting and supplying electricity in the electricity system of the Czech Republic and when concluding the relevant contracts or refusing the request for connection or supply of electricity by the distribution system operator. It also provides for the method of determining the participation of the protected customer in the eligible costs of the distribution system operator associated with the connection and the provision of the required power input, the method of calculating the compensation incurred by the distribution system operator by the unauthorised collection of electricity by the protected customer and the procedure for changing the parameters of the electricity.
Basic provisions
(1) For the purposes of this decree:
(a) customer-protected customer,
(b) the point of collection at the point of transmission and reception between the relevant distribution system operator (the supplier) and the customer;
(c) a reserved power input value agreed with the supplier for a given sampling point equal to the value of the technical maximum or the nominal value of the main circuit breaker in front of the measuring device, on the basis of which the customer's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection and the reserved power input in the distribution system is determined;
(d) the technical maximum for customers of categories A and B of the average quarter-hour power consumption which cannot be exceeded when electricity is collected;
(e) the point of connection of the demand facility to the customer, instead of the connection to the distribution system determined by the supplier in the opinion on the request for connection;
(f) the customer's electricity demand facility (hereinafter referred to as the "demand facility") is all the customer's electrical equipment used for the final consumption of electricity connected to the distribution system either directly, by direct line, by electrical connection or by common home installation;
(g) the efficient technological development of the distribution system by increasing the distribution capacity of the installation in a place where the existing distribution capacity cannot meet the requirements of new applicants for connection and where, in view of the technical economic parameters of the installation, it is advisable to install such equipment which corresponds to the target load on the site in accordance with the local development plan.
(2) The collectors shall be classified according to the voltage level of the distribution system on which their demand facility is connected to the distribution system:
(a) a buyer of category A for distribution system consumption with a voltage between phases exceeding 52 kV;
(b) a buyer of category B for the generation of a distribution system with a voltage between 1 kV and 52 kV inclusive;
(c) a category C customer for the generation of a distribution system with a voltage of up to and including 1 kV, unless the output serves the purpose indicated for category D customers;
(d) buyer of category D for the collection of a distribution system with a voltage of up to and including 1 kV which serves only to satisfy its personal needs and the personal needs of members of its household.
(3) The point of collection for customers of categories A and B is the electricity demand facility of the customer in a separate, space-closed and permanently connected unit located on a continuous parcel.
(4) The sampling point for customers of categories C and D is the sampling point of one customer whose consumption is measured by one measuring device.
Application for connection
(1) Applications for connection shall be submitted by suppliers to customers of categories A and B on the form set out in Annex 1 and to customers of categories C and D on the form set out in Annex 2. Applicants of categories A, B and C shall attach to the application an officially certified extract from the Commercial Register or an officially certified copy of the instrument of establishment of a legal person, not more than three months old.
(2) The request for connection shall be submitted before the connection of the new or the increase of the reserved power of the existing sampling facility for each sampling point.
(3) At the request of the supplier, applicants for connection may be invited to supplement the data provided by them with additional information concerning the connection of appliances with impact, fluctuating or non-linear variable characteristics of the electricity consumption over time, engines with heavy start-up, fluctuating power consumption or with frequent shut-down, X-ray devices and tomographs, welding devices and, where appropriate, the supplier of controlled heat appliances.

(1) After examination of the request for connection, a written opinion shall be issued by the supplier no later than 30 days after receipt of the request, which shall include the location and method of connection of the sampling device, the date of connection, the measuring point and the type of measuring device of the supplier. Furthermore, the written opinion shall include a preliminary calculation of the applicant's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection of its demand facility to the distribution system, the amount of the applicant's share of the required input in accordance with Article 6 (9), the duration of the opinion and other conditions of connection. A written opinion shall be issued for a fixed period of at least 60 days from the date of service.
(2) The method of connection shall be determined taking into account the size of the required power input, the reliability of the electricity supply and the nature of the recovery of the demand facility on the distribution system.
(3) In determining the location and manner of connection with customers connected to low voltage networks, the connection of individual appliances with a rated power input of 10 kW and higher and electrical appliances shall be discussed if their aggregate rated power input including those connected already exceeds 5 kW.
(4) The method of connection of the heating and hot-water-preparation sampling device, the operation of which is controlled by the system of the bulk remote control or switching clock of the supplier, must always be discussed with the supplier before its installation.
(5) If, for the reasons set out in the Act, the applicant's demand facility cannot be connected to the distribution system, the supplier shall issue a written opinion to the applicant for the connection, stating the reasons for the refusal.
Customer connection to the distribution system
The contract to connect the customer to the distribution system, which shall be concluded separately at each sampling point, shall include:
(a) the identification details of the Contracting Parties with their service addresses;
(b) the subject-matter of the contract and the conditions for connection;
(c) the date of connection;
(d) the duration of the contract;
(e) the amount and method of payment of the customer's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection to the distribution system.
Customer's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection and the provision of the required input
(1) The eligible costs of the supplier are necessarily necessary costs related to the construction and modification of the distribution system, which have been triggered by the applicant's requirement to connect or to provide the required power in relation to a specific location and method of connection.
(2) The construction and modification of the distribution system are determined from the point of connection of the customer to the point where the required power is available, but not more than a suitable point in the distribution system with a maximum voltage level.
(3) The customer's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection of the customer's sampling facility shall be part of the costs related to the specific point of connection and shall be determined separately for each point of connection.
(4) The proportion of the applicant's connection to the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection of the applicant's sampling facility shall be determined according to the ratio of the requested power input and the available reserved power input at the connection point or the addition of the available reserved power input of the newly built distribution facility; However, it shall not exceed 60% of the cost of its collateral.
(5) In the case of a customer's request to increase the degree of reliability of the supply of electricity above the standard laid down by a specific legislation or a specific way of building or technical connection to a distribution system, the applicant for connection shall pay the full cost associated with the implementation of this specific requirement.
(6) The remuneration of the applicant's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection to the distribution system will not be applied to individual applicants for connection in cases where the share of costs has already been determined to another natural or legal person.
(7) In cases where an efficient technological development of the distribution system is carried out by the supplier in accordance with the local development plan of the municipality, the connecting applicant shall participate in the eligible costs of the supplier in accordance with paragraph 4, even when that part of the distribution system is already in operation. A specific monitoring regime shall be established for this site, it shall determine the unit share of eligible costs associated with the connection and the supplier may apply this share for a maximum period of 10 years from the completion of the relevant distribution system construction. A special scheme means recording the technical scope of the installation, the costs incurred for its acquisition, the determination of the unit share of the connection provided and the monitoring of the shares paid.
(8) In cases where the supplier carries out the construction of a new part of the distribution system on a continuous parcel on the basis of a request from a natural or legal person, the full reimbursement of the eligible costs associated with the connection may be determined, subject to the following conditions:
(a) the construction of a new part of the distribution system for this site must comply with the local development plan of the municipality;
(b) the eligible costs shall be determined exclusively for this site and for its connection to the existing distribution system;
(c) the share of the eligible costs associated with the connection will not be applied to individual applicants located or located on the site and whose connection will not require further construction or modification of the distribution system.
(9) The remuneration paid by the applicant for securing the reserved power or increasing the value of the reserved power shall be determined by:
(a) for customers of category A, an amount of CZK 20,000 per sampling point;
(b) for customers of category B, an amount of CZK 10,000 per sampling point;
(c) for customers of category C or D, an amount of CZK 1,000 per sample point.
(10) The reserved power is related to the sampling point for which it was contracted. In the case of a contractual reduction of the technical maximum or the value of the circuit breaker before the electrometer to a value lower than that of the reserved power consumption for more than 24 months, the value of the reserved power input shall be reduced to that value.
(11) In the event of termination of the collection and contractual connection to the supply of electricity, the reserve of power for the sampling point shall continue for 12 months.
Electricity supply
(1) The supply of electricity is carried out for each sampling point under a contract for the supply of electricity between the supplier and the customer.
(2) The supply of electricity is met by switching electricity from the supplier's distribution system to the customer's demand facility.
(3) The quality of the electricity supplied need not be respected where:
(a) is collected for customers of categories A, B, C with an effect of less than 0,95 unless otherwise agreed;
(b) the value of the reserved power is exceeded;
(c) at the time of collection, the limit of the permissible negative reversing of the sampling facility to the distribution system as established by the technical standard;
(d) these are emergencies and prevention.
(4) No later than 30 days before the requested date of possible start of electricity supply, the applicant shall provide the supplier with the following supporting documents:
(a) a request for a power supply contract from the relevant distribution system operator;
(b) a report on the revision of the sampling facility;
(c) technical documentation of the sampling equipment corresponding to the actual implementation;
(d) the consent of the owner of the property concerned,
(e) proof of payment of the customer's share of the eligible costs of the supplier associated with the connection and the provision of the required input.
(5) The advance payment for the expected consumption is determined following actual consumption of electricity during the previous invoicing period and taking into account price developments. In the case of new customers, the amount of the advance payment for the anticipated consumption shall be determined by agreement with regard to the type and size of the estimated use of the demand facility and the applicable price of electricity until the first bill of account is made.
(6) Applicants for the conclusion of contracts for the supply of electricity of categories A and B shall submit to the supplier an application for the conclusion of a contract for the supply of electricity on a form, the particulars of which are set out in Annex 3. Applicants for the conclusion of contracts for the supply of electricity of categories C and D shall submit to the supplier an application for the supply of electricity on a form the particulars of which are set out in Annex 4. Applicants of categories A, B and C shall attach to the application an officially certified extract from the Commercial Register or an officially certified copy of the instrument of establishment of a legal person, not more than three months old.
(7) The supplier shall not be liable for damage to a demand facility which is not protected from the effects of the distribution system in accordance with technical standards and instructions of the appliance manufacturers.
(8) If there is a defect in the measuring equipment of such a nature that the quantity of electricity collected cannot be determined, this quantity shall be determined according to the amount of consumption in a comparable period and the comparable nature of the sampling in which consumption has been properly measured. If consumption cannot be determined in this way, the quantity of electricity collected shall be determined by calculation or retrospectively by the amount of consumption in the following period.
(9) If the customer does not allow access to the measuring equipment for the purpose of periodic deduction even after written notification, the electricity consumption shall be accounted for according to the consumption of the previous comparable period or the values agreed for the relevant period. If the customer does not have access to the following deduction, the supply of electricity may be interrupted after prior written notice.
(10) If the fault in the sampling facility results in a restriction or interruption of supply, the supply shall be renewed after the removal of the causes of the restriction or interruption of supply on the basis of the customer's request and at its cost within the deadline laid down by the legislation.
Compensation for unlawful electricity collection
(1) In the case of unauthorised electricity collection, the damage actually incurred shall be calculated on the basis of measured or otherwise demonstrably established data on unauthorised electricity collection by the supplier. Where the total electricity consumption referred to in paragraph 5 and the total compensation referred to in paragraph 6 cannot be determined, the determination of compensation shall be made in accordance with the table set out in Annex 5.
(2) Where it is not possible to quantify the actual damage caused by the unauthorised collection of electricity from the distribution system, the amount of compensation may be determined by written agreement between the supplier and the customer. Where there is no agreement, it shall be determined in the manner set out in paragraphs 3 to 9.
(3) The daily quantity of electricity unduly collected (hereinafter referred to as "daily consumption") for customers of categories A and B shall be calculated as follows:
(a) the nominal output of all transformers intended for direct electricity collection shall be multiplied by 12 hours, unless a longer recovery period has been established;
(b) for the calculation, the power factor value shall be equal to one;
(c) the maximum value of a quarter-hour power input shall be the technical maximum if not agreed, the sum of the rated power output of all transformers shall be considered the technical maximum;
(d) the value of 0 kW shall be considered as the agreed power.
(4) Daily consumption of undue electricity (hereinafter referred to as "daily consumption") for customers of categories C and D is calculated as follows:
(a) the nominal value of the circuit breaker shall be used for the calculation before the electrometer (measuring device) and for the 12-hour period, unless a longer recovery period has been established;
(b) in the case of non-installation of the circuit breaker in front of the electrometer, consumption determined by the nominal current of another element limiting the size of the input power, at 12 hours, unless a longer recovery period has been determined;
(c) in the case of non-installation of the circuit breaker in front of the electrometer and any other limiting element, consumption shall be considered as determined by the sum of the rated inputs of all identified appliances multiplied by the length of use of 12 hours, unless a longer recovery period has been determined;
(d) where the rated power cannot be determined, the rated load capacity of the connecting conductors or, where applicable, the elements by which the relevant sampling point is connected to the distribution system shall be based.
(5) The total electricity consumption over the duration of the undue collection shall be calculated by multiplying the daily consumption determined in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 by the number of days for which the undue collection lasted. If it is not possible to determine the duration of the unauthorised collection, it shall be deemed to have lasted from the following day after the last periodic deduction of the measuring equipment by the supplier.
(6) The total compensation incurred by the supplier is calculated by multiplying the total electricity consumption determined in accordance with paragraph 5 by the rate specified in the electricity supply contract. In cases of undue electricity collection without a contract concluded, compensation shall be calculated by multiplying the total consumption by the relevant electricity price as determined by the Energy Regulatory Authority price decision in force on the date of the finding of undue collection. The composite tariff shall be charged according to the ratio of previous periods. If this rule cannot be applied, a higher tariff is charged at the price of electricity.
(7) The amount of compensation shall be increased by the costs associated with the detection of unauthorised collection and the interruption and renewal of supply. These costs are evidenced by calculations.
(8) The method of calculating the damage caused by the supplier pursuant to paragraphs 3, 4, 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to cases where the electricity consumption has been carried out by the customer at a rate for which the customer does not meet the conditions and consumption cannot be ascertained objectively.
(9) The amount of the refund shall be determined in accordance with the table set out in Annex 6 for damage to the individual parts of the measuring device or damage to the non-measured parts of the distribution or sampling device against unauthorised manipulation caused by the customer.
Common and final provisions
(1) For withdrawals for which no value of the reserved power has been determined, the value of the reserved power shall be deemed to be:
(a) for customers of categories A and B, the value of the technical maximum;
(b) for customers of categories C and D, the value of the circuit breaker in front of the measuring device.
(2) The forms of applications, the particulars of which appear in Annexes 1 to 4, may be obtained from suppliers and published on their websites.
Repeal
