DH-412 Notification of supply connection

A connection must be reported to Datahub immediately after the connection as soon as the information is available in the DSO’s system.

If the information is not available immediately after connection, for example, due to a manually connected site, the notification must be sent to Datahub within one week of supply connection, if the customer’s annual consumption estimate is less than 1 GWh and, at the latest, on the following working day after connection for a customer with an annual consumption of 1 GWh or more. A connection notification is still accepted after this period, but interventions will be made if notifications are repeatedly sent late.

Step

Description

Balance information update

If the balance information has been terminated starting the day after the supplier’s disconnection request (DH-421) and the supplier has made a supply connection request (DH-411) before the notification of the supply connection, the accounting point’s balance information is linked to the accounting point’s supplier starting from the hour or fifteen minutes of the reported connection (depending on the accounting point’s metering time step).

The balance information is linked to the supplier from the time of the connection even without the supplier’s connection request if the previous disconnection was not based on the supplier’s request. However, if the balance window is no longer open for the time of the notification of the supply connection, the linking begins from the opening of the balance window.

Update of agreement validity

If the accounting point was under construction before the connection, the start date of the sales and grid agreement that are valid at the moment of connection is updated to match the connection date if the original start date of the agreements is during the period when the accounting point is under construction and the agreements do not directly continue an agreement that started before the under-construction period.

If a previous agreement would remain valid only during the period when the accounting point is under construction, Datahub will cancel the previous agreement. See a more detailed description of the processing of agreements when an accounting point is connected under Agreement handling in connection processes.

Update of authorization validity

If the validity period of a customer's agreement changes due to the under-construction status, the validity period of any authorizations based on the validity of the agreement also changes.

Information reported by the party

All reported information is stored.

Information processed by Datahub

The accounting point’s balance information.

Validity periods of agreements and authorizations, if they are affected by changes during the process.

DSO

Notification of successful or rejected notification.

ACK

Accounting point’s supplier

The change in accounting point connection status is reported to the possible supplier.

DH-412-2

A notification is sent to the supplier if the connection updates the start date of the sales agreement for the accounting point. If the connection cancels a previous agreement for the accounting point, the supplier is notified of the cancellation by email.

DH-361

DSO

A notification is sent to the DSO if the connection updates the start date of the grid agreement for the accounting point. If the connection cancels a previous agreement for the accounting point, the DSO is notified of the cancellation by email.

DH-362

Balancing service provider

If the notification of connection changes a customer’s supplier information due to the potentially updated or cancelled agreement and the customer has issued an ‘Accounting point’s balance responsibility information’ authorization for the accounting point, the new balance responsibility information is forwarded to the balancing service provider. The authorization must be valid on the reporting date of the event and the validity of the changed data must overlap with the validity of the authorization. If the change is retroactive, the information is forwarded only if its validity overlaps with the validity of the authorization during the last 60 days (counting from the reporting date).

DH-136-2

The connection is reported for the wrong accounting point or the wrong day.

Depending on the supplier’s business processes, the supplier may unnecessarily contact the customer or instigate other additional follow-up tasks.

The accounting point is recorded in Datahub.

EC.MPT.115

The accounting point must not have the status ‘Removed from use’ or ‘Deleted’.

EC.MPT.120

The status of the accounting point reported in the message must be ‘Connected’.

EC.MPT.128

If the connection is a response to a supplier’s connection request, the accounting point must have a connection process under way which is awaiting confirmation.
If the accounting point is in the ‘Disconnected’ status upon the supplier’s request (DH-421), this must be preceded by a supplier’s connection request (DH-411).

EC.MPT.129

The accounting point is in a distribution system operator’s metering grid area.

EC.MPT.130

At the connection time, the time must match the accounting point’s metering resolution.

EC.MPT.133

EC.MPT.164

No supplier-requested disconnection process may be under way at the accounting point.

EC.MPT.134

The connection date cannot be in the future.
