Connection to network of the new or reinstalled electrical units of the state electrical power company, independent producer, energy consumer, increase in the permitted capacity, change of the scheme of electric utility service is performed according to these rules based on specifications on connection of electrical units to network, and the act of the admission to operation of the Agency on regulation of energy questions in case of the Department of Energy of the Azerbaijan Republic (further - Agency on regulation of energy questions).

1.7. The procedure for the choice of the electric power producer in the territory of renewable energy resources, and also features and conditions of the agreements signed with the electric power producer chosen by auction or direct attraction in the territory of renewable energy resources is established by the President of the Azerbaijan Republic.

2. Specifications for connection of electrical units

2.1. Issue of specifications on connection to network of electrical units of the new, or new constructed power supplying companies, independent producers of energy and consumers, and also those with the changing scheme of power supply is performed according to "Rules of issue of specifications on connection to network of electrical units". Specifications of connection to network of electroinstallations of the independent producer of energy are determined by renewable energy resources by the agreement on connection to network signed between the independent producer of energy and the state electrical power company or which is power supplying with the company, and connection to network at the same time is performed according to requirements of this agreement.

2.2. In specifications on connection to network of electrical units of object the following is specified:
