(3.4) Summary of Connection Charging Methodology

Based on the issues set out above, GE will adopt the following connection charge methodology as conveyance network licensee:

A charge for connection will be made, as a single transaction, and payable as a single advance payment, to protect existing users against the credit risk of individual new users. The standard terms and conditions of connection quotations are given in Appendix 3. Connection charges will be calculated using the shallow or semi-deep principles as discussed in Section 3.1 of this Statement and demonstrated in Appendix 2.
No distinction will be made between the conveyance system connection costs of generators or loads, save any differences made necessary by the control requirements of generators.
