Electrical Service Connection Fees
Explore the costs associated with connecting electrical services at various voltage levels, designed to ensure fairness and transparency for both service applicants and providers while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
Preliminary study:
The initial works before signing the electricity service connection agreement, to study the available connection options and estimate their costs, in order to prepare a plan and connection agreement for the service applicant.
Planning, engineering, and engineering supervision:
The works of planning, preparing the topographic survey, procedures for securing the right of way, engineering works from preparing the scope of work, technical specifications, and contract documents, including the costs of bidding and tendering, in addition to the costs of engineering supervision to ensure compliance with the specifications and technical requirements.
Standard project for high-voltage transmission:
A substation containing three or fewer high-voltage transformers and connecting them to two feeder circuits at high voltage (overhead lines/underground cables) and expanding the source station which meets the standard technical requirements.
Standard project for extra-high-voltage transmission:
A substation containing three extra-high-voltage transformers and three or fewer high-voltage transformers and connecting them to two feeder circuits at extra-high voltage (overhead lines/underground cables) and expanding the source station which meets the standard technical requirements.
