Pwer Quality evaluatin fr cnnectin r mdificatin f disturbing installatins r f cmpensatin installatins ( pre-assessment ) In rder t deliver a vltage accrding t the specificatins intended by the article 47 f the Technical Cde, the permitted level f the caused disturbance n the grid, intended by the article 46 f the Technical Cde, has t be respected. On this subject, the article 54 f the Technical Cde impses the grid user t cmmunicate n his wn initiative at Elia all infrmatin cncerning his installatins that have an impact n the quality, the reliability and the efficiency f the grid. The grid user will verify if the levels f disturbances emanating frm his installatins respect de Stage 1 emissin limits described in the Synergrid C10/17 prcedure, based n the vltage level at the cnnectin pint and the yearly peak 1. He will present these evaluatins as well as a descriptin f these installatins (nature and nminal pwer) t Elia fr acceptance. If the Stage 1 emissin limits are transgressed, even after cnsidering supplementary steps fr limiting the levels f perturbatin, the grid user must ask Elia t apply the apprach fr Stage 2 r Stage 3. In this case, the fllwing tariffs will be applicable: Study relative t the calculatin f emissin limits Stage 2 ** 2.250 Study relative t the calculatin f emissin limits Stage 3 ** 3.000 ** In accrdance t the instructins Synergrid C10/17 Pwer Quality instructins fr the users cnnected t the high vltage grids. The inviced amunts fr the studies relative t the calculatin f emissin limit Stage 2 r 3 cannt be reclaimed when the cnnectin is rdered. At the end f the study, Elia delivers a reprt t the grid user encmpassing the adapted emissin limits. The grid user will verify if his installatins respect these authrised emissin limits. The result f this verificatin will have t be submitted in writing t Elia fr acceptance. 1 The yearly peak used is this framewrk is defined as the maximum f the mnthly peaks f the previus 12 mnths, i.e. the nging invicing mnth and the 11 preceding mnths withut taking int accunt the tariff perid fr annual peak. This yearly peak crrespnds t the yearly peak used in the framewrk f the tariff fr additinal fftake f reactive energy and is therefre different frm the yearly peak used in the cntext f the tariff fr yearly peak. 4/13 04/12/15
3. The tariff fr the use f the first cnnectin bay The tariff fr the use f the first cnnectin bay cnsists f: a yearly charge t realize r mdify in a substantial way the cnnectin bay a yearly charge t perate and t maintain the cnnectin bay. These yearly charges, whse amunts are mentined in the summary table under sectin 5, give the grid user a right t use the ttal functinality f the cnnectin bay including preservatin and replacement. The first cnnectin bay includes ne metering equipment fr invicing. Regarding the existing cnnectin bays, the charges fr putting a cnnectin bay at dispsal f the grid user are prprtinally adapted in rder t reflect the financial interventins by the clients in the past. This adaptatin is applicable until the date f replacement f the cnnectin bay and nt lnger than 33 years after the date the cnnectin has been put int service. 4. The tariff fr the use f ther cnnectin equipments: lines r cables and their requisites, equipments fr transfrmatin, cmpensatin f reactive pwer and filtering f the vltage wave 4.1. Fr a new cnnectin (r the adaptatin f an existing cnnectin): charge t realize r mdify in a substantial way The amunt, representing the ttal investment amunt, is determined accrding t specificatin. 4.2. Charges t put existing equipments at dispsal The annual charge fr putting at dispsal is the ne as mentined in the summary table under sectin 5, which has t be des-indexed n basis f the cnsumptin price index until the date when the cncerned equipment has been put int service. If there were financial interventins in the past, thse charges have t be reduced n a prprtinal basis. 5/13 04/12/15
4.3. Charges t perate and maintain the cnnectin equipments (new r existing nes) The charge t perate and maintain the «ther» cnnectin equipments is mentined in the summary table under sectin 5. Fr the transfrmers that have a capacity that differs frm thse indicated in the table abve, fllwing frmula is applied t determine the charges: with K K 0 MVA MVA0 0,25 0,75. K is the charge t put the cncerned transfrmer at dispsal and t perate and maintain it; MVA is the transfrmer capacity f the cncerned transfrmer; K 0 and MVA 0 are respectively the charge t put the reference transfrmer at dispsal and t perate and maintain it and the transfrmer capacity f the reference transfrmer, chsen in the list f the summary table s that the primary vltage equals the ne f the cncerned transfrmer and the transfrmer capacity is nearest t the ne f the cncerned transfrmer. 0,75 4.4. Tariff applicable in case f light management by Elia f the cnnectin equipments This tariff is applied in case the grid user perates and maintains himself the cnnectin equipments ther than the cnnectin bay.

B. TARIFF CONDITIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION GRID OPERATORS EXCEPTED FOR DISTRIBUTION GRID OPERATORS CONNECTED AT TRANSFORMER OUTPUT TO MEDIUM VOLTAGE The tariff cnditins fr the cnnectins t the Elia grid fr Distributin Grid Operatrs encmpass the annual tariffs fr cnnectin t the Elia grid fr Distributin Grid Operatrs t whm Elia puts at dispsal and/r perates and maintains infrastructure necessary fr their activity. These tariffs are structured alng tw axes: the nature f the perfrmances, i.e. a tariff fr the putting at dispsal f these installatins and a tariff fr maintaining and perating them; the cncerned installatins, i.e. cnnectin tariffs with respect t the cncerned installatins: the transfrmatin accessries twards Medium vltage, the nnfeeder Medium vltage cells, the general installatins and buildings. The Medium vltage reference pst presents a reference transfrmatin pwer f 80 MVA (suppsed t be brught frth by 2 reference transfrmers de 40 MVA); it is cmpsed f 2 cnnectins frm the transfrmers t the bus bar t the Medium vltage level, and 2 arrival cells f the transfrmers; it is als cmpsed f a bus bar fr cupling; the pst is lcated in a building equipped with specifically its electrical infeed fr heating and lighting. The cnnectin tariffs are multiplied by a factr, mre precisely the size f Medium vltage pst. The size f a Medium vltage pst is defined as the rati between the effective pwer f the pst under cnsideratin and the reference pwer. The effective pwer f the pst under cnsideratin is determined by the pwer put at dispsal at this Medium vltage pst. Fr example, fr a Medium vltage pst fed by 2 transfrmers f 25 MVA: The effective pwer equals 2 x 25 = 50 MVA ; The size f the pst is 50 MVA / 80 MVA = 0,625 ; The tariffs (if applicable fr this pst) are multiplied by a factr 0,625. The charges fr putting at dispsal and maintaining and perating cnnectin equipments are represented in the table belw. 12/13 04/12/15
