6. Dealing with competing connection requests

Competing grid connection requests exist if qualified connection requests are addressed to Amprion, which impact upon each other so that not all connection requests can be granted or subordinated inquiries with a lower priority ranking involve higher connection costs in relation to the inquiries which were received earlier and have therefore been given priority.

In the event of such a competing situation, Amprion will make a connection commitment to the connection request with time-related priority with no account taken of the competing inquiries, if the preconditions pursuant to para. B.3 are met.

If the connection commitment granted to the first connection prospect becomes void, he can no longer invoke priority over the competing connection request.

The parties affected by a competing situation will be informed about any requests anonymously competing with each other.
