Procedure
A plant operator applying for connection is contractually entitled against the grid operator to a grid expansion, if the expansion is necessary for connecting the plant to the grid. Renewable energy plants must be given priority connection therefore a grid expansion necessary to connect such a plant must also be given priority. In case of disputes between the two parties, the Market Directorate (Direzione Mercati) of the ARERA should be invited to resolve the dispute (art. 3 Annex A ARG/elt 123/08). In the case of renewable energy sources, the grid operator bears the costs for expanding the grid. (Arts. 9, 21 and 26.2 ARG/elt 99/08).
