3. Connection commitment
When mailing the results of the feasibility study, Amprion will make a connection commitment to the connection prospect, including a reservation of the relevant grid connection capacity.
The payment of a reservation charge of € 1,000 per MW, will guarantee the grid connection scheme developed in the feasibility study for the connection prospect.
As soon as the power plant has been connected to the grid of Amprion, the charge will be counted towards the grid connection costs to be paid by the connection prospect. However, should the power plant not be erected or not be connected to the grid of Amprion, the reservation charge will be refunded in those cases in which the connection prospect is not responsible for the aborted realisation.
A schedule for the negotiations on the grid connection contract (negotiation schedule) has to be drawn up no later than three months after the connection commitment has been made. Conclusion of the grid connection contract should take no longer than 12 months.
