287 ENERGY LAW conflict, thenYEGM shall reject the unlicensed generation application. If the applicant’s consumption amount for the last one year is higher than the other applications, such facility may change their subscrip- tion regarding their power consumption facility. In such a case, yearly electric energy consumption amount of the new power consumption facility, which shall be associated with the generation facility having a Call Letter, shall not exceed the consumption amount constituting the basis of the application 7 . The procedures and principles regarding the connection appli- cations and utilization of surplus energy of the generation facilities having installed power of up to 10 kW, which are directly connected to their own power consumption facilities, as well as the standard form of the “Call Letter,” shall be determined by the EMRA 8 . The generation facilities having an installed power up to 10 kW shall be exclusively provided with 5 MW of connection capacity by TEIAS, for each substation. If a facility reaches capacity, TEIAS’s opinion shall be required for additional consumption. Such additional capacity shall be allocated in accordance with TEIAS’s findings 9 . Selection of the Connection Point According to the Regulation 10 , the generation facility subject to application shall be connected to (i) a network from a low volt- age 11 level, if its installed power is equal or less than 11 kW, and (ii) a network from a low voltage or high voltage 12 level (depending on technical evaluation), if its installed power is more than 11 kW. The Regulation envisaged certain criteria for the connectivity rate of the said connection points. According to the Regulation, the connectiv- ity rate of cogeneration facilities having an installed power exceeding 1000 kW shall be above 30, and the connectivity rate of other genera- tion facilities shall be above 70. However, the Draft intends to dispose 7 Article 8/7. 8 Article 7/6. 9 Article 7/7. 10 Article 12/1. 11 Voltage with an active intensity of 1000 volts or less. 12 Voltage with an active intensity of more than 1000 volts.
