IWhat can you do here?
On this page, we explain how to request the connection of a new generation point or self-consumption installation to the distribution grid.
How to start your application
To connect a distributed generation installation, the first step is to request grid access and connection via the distribution company.
This procedure is necessary to guarantee the safety and quality of the supply.
You can submit your application online from your private area, under the section:
Grid connection / New self-consumption or generation application.
What information will we ask for?
When applying, you must provide basic information about the installation.
Among other details, we will need:

- The type of installation.
- The connection voltage level.
Required documentation
You must also provide technical documentation, such as:

For self-consumption, we will need the CUPS (Universal Supply Point Code), which you can find on your bill.
