A. HANDLING COMPETING CONNECTION REQUESTS
Competing connection requests exist if connection requests influence each other in terms of network technology in such a way that not all connection requests can be granted or if lower-priority requests lead to higher connection costs in relation to the higher-priority requests.
In the event of competing connection requests, the so-called first-come, first-served principle applies. Whoever submits a qualified request first will be given priority. If the connection commitment of the first connection applicant lapses, it can no longer claim priority over the competing connection request(s).
The provisions of Section 17 (2a) EnWG, Section 8 EEG and Section 3 KWKG remain unaffected.
