Documents needed to conclude a connection contract:

• A completed application for a gas network connection contract The application is available in Downloads below. 
• An excerpt from the register of businesses of the National Court Register
• A declaration of the applicant’s legal title to use the facility or property
• If the contract is signed on behalf of a business by a person who is not authorized in the National Court Register, also provide the original power of attorney for signing a gas network connection contract, a copy certified as a true copy by a person of public trust (e.g., a notary, counselor, or attorney-at-law), or an unconfirmed copy, if the power of attorney was granted in the form of a notary deed.

Important: 

Confirm that the copies of the submitted documents are true copies. This can be done by a legal counsel, notary, or a person authorized to represent the applicant.

You can submit the application in person or by mail (the list of our units is available here).

If you do not apply to us to conclude a connection contract within 30 days of receiving the conditions for connecting to the gas network, and at the same time:

• some conditions for connecting to the distribution network have been defined and they would require the same technical capacity of the distribution system to be used
• or some conditions for connecting to the gas network have been specified and relate to an area that coincides territorially in whole or in part,

then we conclude gas network connection contracts according to the order in which connection contracts signed by the customers are received, depending on the existing technical conditions (e.g., available capacity of the distribution system).

We will prepare a draft contract for connecting to the gas network for you. We can send it to you by mail to the correspondence address provided. You can also collect it (at our units) in person or through a representative, provided that a power of attorney granted by the applicant listed on the application for the purposes of concluding a gas network connection contract is provided. The list of our units is available here.

In the correspondence, we will specify the expiration date of the draft contract and we ask that you sign the contract within this timeframe. You can deliver a signed contract to us by mail or in person (at our units).

In accordance with the law, the connection fee due to PSG amounts to 100% of the actual expenditure on the connection. This fee, as indicated in the connection contract, is based on the estimated expenditure for the connection, which means that it may change after the investment has been completed. After signing a gas network connection contract, you will be required to pay 50% of the connection fee within 14 days of receiving the pro forma invoice. Detailed rules regarding the payment date for the connection fee are specified in the gas network connection contract.

The signed gas network connection contract is the basis for us and for you to start design, construction, and assembly work. As of the date the contract is signed, we reserve capacity in the distribution system in the amount listed in the conditions for connecting to the gas network.

On the date specified in the connection contract, you will be required to conclude a Technical Contract resulting from Points 7.4 and 10.1.6 of the Distribution Network Code. This contract will govern the terms of cooperation regarding the rules of:

• transferring allocation data at the interface points of the systems,
• providing telemetry and measurement data, 
• preparing and agreeing on billing protocols, 
• running and operating gas stations located at the interface of systems,
• repairing and modernizing gas stations located at the interfaces of the systems,
• exchanging information on planned investments which will affect the systems’ operating conditions,
• cooperating in the event of low-quality fuel gas that affects the operation of the distribution system,
• agreeing on emergency procedures, and
• dealing with failures which affect the functioning of the distribution system. 

It is our responsibility to build network infrastructure elements such as a gas pipeline, gas stations, gas connections, and others in accordance with the connection conditions and within the timeframe specified in the gas network connection contract. As part of this stage:

• we will prepare design documentation, obtain permits for entering the area, obtain the land for gas facilities, and secure all permits specified in the Construction Code and
• we will build a network infrastructure along with the necessary activities to allow for its use. 

A detailed implementation schedule can be found in the gas network connection contract.

Meanwhile, you:

• build networks and gas systems at your facility and install the equipment necessary to start supplying fuel gas to the distribution system, including a treatment system and a reverse system, and install a chromatograph and hygrometer in accordance with the issued connection conditions.

After the installation is completed, you will receive notification of completion and an invoice for the connection fee.

Fill out the Report on Readiness for Fuel Gas Filling and provide all required information. 

You can deliver the application to us by mail or in person (at our units). The list of our units is available here.

The condition for starting gas supply for new Pwej (input point to the distribution system), e.g., a biogas plant or gas mine, is:

• Constructing gas networks and systems, including a treatment system and a reverse system, in accordance with the construction design and the requirements of the Construction Code,
• installing a chromatograph and a hygrometer at the input point to the distribution system, 
• paying the invoice for the connection fee,
• providing us with a correctly completed Report on Readiness for Fuel Gas Filling, 
• notifying us in writing about the readiness to inject fuel gas into the distribution system before the deadline specified in the connection contract,
• signing a contract for the provision of fuel gas distribution services – a template of this contract is available here,
• submitting a Single Distribution Order (SDO) for an input covered by the connection, 
• signing a contract for the provision of gas transmission services with a gas transmission system operator (TSO) and performing this contract to the extent necessary for PSG to provide fuel gas distribution services for the input point covered by the connection specified in the contract,
• submitting an application for transmission capacity allocation (CA) to the TSO, and
• ensuring, before the deadline specified in the connection contract, that the fuel gas (biogas) introduced into the distribution system will be received at the output points from PSG’s distribution system (it may be a fuel gas sales contract).
