A network user must apply for a new connection approval if the basic parameters on which the current connection approval was issued are altered. These are:

• Change to a connected load,
• Change in the technical characteristics of a facility or a device for which the connection approval was issued,
• Change to a group of end users (grouping is regulated in the Terms and conditions for supply and consumption of electricity from the distribution network. If consumption exceeds the connected load stated in the connection approval, the approval holder will be notified by SODO of the need to acquire a new connection approval or reduce electricity consumption in line with the current connection approval. The decision SODO then issues replaces the previous connection approval.)

The connection approval is valid for two years once it has been fully issued by SODO. During that period the user must meet all the conditions for their facility stated in the connection approval, otherwise it expires.

 

It is not possible to transfer rights from one connection approval to another location.
