Delgaz Grid makes available to customers a new guide that contains detailed information related to the steps and formalities that must be completed to acquire the quality of prosumer.
The necessary approvals, the terms or the method of selling surplus electricity are some of the information found in the Prosumer’s Guide.
“The number of those interested in becoming prosumers has grown rapidly in recent years, and I am convinced that the trend will continue in the coming period. If in 2020, we had around 60 prosumers connected to our distribution network, at the end of 2023 the total number reached 14,600, and for this year we estimate that we will integrate around 12,000 new prosumers,” says Mihaela Cazacu, director deputy general of Delgaz Grid.
The largest section of the guide is dedicated to the course of operations where the particular cases in which those who wish to produce electricity for their own consumption with the help of photovoltaic panels may find themselves are detailed, respectively:
- The new customer who builds a building and connects to the utilities;
- The existing customer who needs to increase the consumption power and for this it is necessary to modify the electrical installation;
- The existing customer who installs an electricity production facility or installs a power plant of less than or equal to the power approved for consumption.
Starting last year, a dedicated platform was made available to future prosumers, where
customers can fill in their details and download forms for each step and are told what documents are required and where they can be obtained. At the same time, customers can find out, directly from the source, the status of requests and what are the next steps to obtain the prosumer certificate. The connection file can also be submitted physically at the public relations centers of the Delgaz Grid company.
