If the distance (straight line) from the border area is not more than up to the nearest power:

• 500 meters - in the countryside.

If the required power, taking into account all previously of connected power consumers, does not exceed 15 kilowatts, in this case, according to the existing norms, the price of the connection should not exceed 550 rubles.

To connect the house to the mains (380V three-phase electricity), it took me 1 year and 8 months. All this time I was in communication and negotiation with the employees of the network organization, then (as were all violated the antimonopoly legislation) applied to the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly MO service.

That last decision has been the most effective step. This forced a network company (which faced fines) first issue new posts 10 kW on a temporary basis, and then connected on a permanent basis 15 kW. Despite the fact that the cost of implementation of measures on technological connection to the grid company exceeded 1.3 million rubles., For Natachki to connect to the grid worth 550 rubles.
