1. Infrastructure Contribution - For Large Developments

For high-demand projects or developments that require a network extension, a one-time contribution may be required. This contribution helps fund the expansion of our distribution network to support your specific energy needs.

This may include:

• Laying new medium- and low-voltage cables
• Installing switchgear and protective equipment
• Engineering, planning, and grid design work

A formal contract will be established before any construction begins to ensure agreement on responsibilities, costs, and the scope of work.

Note: this contribution is separate from standard connection fees and applies only when grid expansion is necessary.

2. Standard Connection Fee - For All New Connections

Whether you are connecting a home, construction site, or business, a standard connection fee will apply. This fee covers the labor and materials required to connect your premises to ELMAR's existing infrastructure.

Fee is determined by:

• The requested capacity (e.g., single-phase or three-phase service)
• The type of connection (residential, commercial, or construction meter)
• The distance from the nearest distribution point

3. Security Deposit - For Parceling (Subdivision) Projects

In larger subdivision projects, ELMAR may pre-install underground cables to allow developers to proceed with civil works such as curbing and roads. In these cases, a security deposit may be requested to protect ELMAR's infrastructure prior to active electrical use.

Key considerations:

• The deposit is not tied to electricity usage
• It protects against damage or theft before properties are fully connected
• Applies only when cables have already been installed and are in place

Deposit Refund Eligibility:

• All cables are fully operational
• No damages or losses are identified during inspection
• The infrastructure is formally accepted by N.V. ELMAR
