General presentation of the Enedis service catalogue for solar
The service catalogue offered by Enedis is a reference document for any solar connection request to the public network. This catalogue details the various interventions carried out by Enedis, whether standard services or additional services related to the installation of photovoltaic panels. Understanding the structure of this catalogue is an important step before starting any solar connection work.
Scope of application of the Enedis service catalogue
The scope concerns all solar installations connected to the electricity network managed by Enedis, covering nearly 95% of French territory. This includes:
- Individual or collective self-consumption projects,
- Installations with full or partial injection of solar production,
- Special cases, such as large roofs or solar parks.
Use of the catalogue is required regardless of the size of the project or the destination of the electricity produced. You will find an overview of the different services offered via the Enedis service presentation.
Regulations governing the services
The services provided by Enedis are strictly governed by regulations. The main texts regulating the sector are:
- The Energy Code,
- Ministerial orders relating to self-consumption and the sale of solar electricity,
- Decisions of the CRE (Energy Regulatory Commission) relating to costing methodologies and the setting of tariffs.
Enedis must comply with these rules for every service charged. These requirements guarantee transparency and fairness for users of the public network.
Distinction between basic and ancillary services
In the catalogue, Enedis clearly distinguishes:
- Basic services: Interventions necessary for the initial connection of the solar installation (technical study, meter installation, standard connection works…)
- Ancillary services: Additional services meeting specific needs (modification of the connection, meter relocation, provision of specific data, network extensions…)
- Services on personalised quotation: When the situation goes beyond standard interventions, a specific costing is established.
| Type of service | Examples of interventions |
|---|---|
| Basic services | Technical study, standard connection |
| Ancillary services | Network extension, relocation of works |
| On personalised quotation | Exceptional adaptation, complex configuration |
Referring to the service catalogue before starting a connection process allows you to anticipate the stages and costs associated with the solar project. To benefit from quality monitoring, it is often advised to seek support from a specialised professional, such as from EDF ENR for legal compliance.
Procedure for photovoltaic connection request to Enedis
Preparation of the connection request file
To start your photovoltaic project, you must submit a connection request, generally called DCR. This procedure is carried out on Enedis’ dedicated portal. Several documents must be provided from the outset:
- Planning permission (prior declaration or building permit depending on the case),
- A layout plan specifying the access and proposed connection,
- A site plan,
- Your full contact details and the address of the site,
- The technical details desired such as the power to be connected.
Particular attention is paid to photographs of meters and the electrical panel to complete your file.
For any solar installation, it is advisable to prepare the list of documents in advance to avoid any administrative delays when submitting the file.
You can find the precise requirements for an installation under 36 kVA in this low voltage connection procedure.
Assistance by a professional representative
The connection process is often delegated to a certified RGE installer or a consultancy office. This professional acts as the representative for all operations: they prepare, check, and submit the file on your behalf. To formalise this role, a dated and signed mandate must be included with the application. Such assistance facilitates:
- Communication with Enedis,
- Tracking the progress of the file,
- Swift acquisition of the obligatory Consuel certificate before commissioning.
Working with a professional representative limits errors and allows you to benefit from any available financial aid and appropriate advice.
Timescales for processing requests by Enedis
Processing times vary depending on the complexity of the project:
| Connection step | Estimated timeframe |
|---|---|
| Acknowledgement of receipt of request | 10 days |
| Connection proposal and quotation | 6 weeks to 3 months |
| Connection works | As per signed quotation |
- The timeframe commences upon receipt of a complete file.
- If the connection requires network reinforcement or extension, the connection proposal may take up to 3 months.
- For simple projects, without major network modification, the process can be completed more quickly.
Preparing a complete file and anticipating the steps with a professional often allows you to get a response from Enedis within the shortest possible timeframe.
Types of services mentioned in the Enedis service catalogue
The services listed in the Enedis catalogue cover the entire process of connecting a photovoltaic installation, from initial procedures to the effective commissioning. They are organised by their nature, billing method, and whether they are in a competitive or regulated context.
Nature of the included basic services
Basic services are generally provided as soon as a connection is requested, without direct billing to the producer, since these costs are included in the tariff for using the public electricity networks (TURPE).
Examples of basic services include:
- Simple technical feasibility study
- Access to online management of the file
- Communication of minimum technical requirements
Basic services aim to ensure uniform treatment of requests and equal access to the public network for all solar producers.
Ancillary service catalogues by profile
Ancillary services cover anything that goes beyond the strict minimum required for initial connection: they are generally charged per intervention, with rates fixed or validated by the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). It should also be noted that the catalogue varies according to profile: individual, business, or public authority.
| Profile | Catalogue code | Common services |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Enedis-NOI-CF_15E | Commissioning, power modification, equipment relocation |
| Business | Enedis-NOI-CF_16E | Complex studies, bespoke solutions, modifications of works |
| Public authority | Enedis-NOI-CF_17E | Grouped connections, network adaptations, large-scale management |
The most common ancillary services include:
- Commissioning of the installation
- Relocation or reinforcement of the connection
- Technical or administrative modifications
Competitive connection services
Part of the catalogue covers competitive services: in these situations, the producer is free to select Enedis or another approved operator, under pricing conditions not regulated by the CRE.
This includes:
- Specific works requested outside the standard (e.g., shortened timescales)
- Additional studies not included in the initial package
- Post-connection maintenance or adaptation services
| Type of service | Price regulation | Free choice |
|---|---|---|
| Standard study | Regulated by CRE | No |
| Accelerated timescales, bespoke adaptation | Free | Yes |
| Maintenance or non-fault interventions | Free | Yes |
In summary, the Enedis service catalogue clearly distinguishes between included services, regulated additional interventions, and those open to competition. This provides greater clarity and adaptability depending on the profile and nature of the solar project.
Technical aspects of connecting to the public electricity network
Connecting a solar installation to the public electricity network requires genuine technical preparation. Connection requests to Enedis follow strict rules, as it is not simply a matter of plugging in your kit; there is a whole range of points to be reviewed, depending on the project’s size, the desired capacity and the configuration of the existing network. The success of the connection often depends on good anticipation of both technical and administrative constraints.
Determining the necessary connection power
First, you must accurately calculate the power to be connected, which corresponds to the photovoltaic generator’s maximum output. This choice has a significant impact:
- It determines the type of connection to be installed (single-phase or three-phase).
- It influences the financial arrangements.
- It can also condition authorisation to inject electricity into the network.
For example, a small domestic installation is generally below 36 kVA. Large collective installations often have much higher thresholds. This calculation stage must be conducted carefully, as it conditions the entire project’s progress.
Technical constraints specific to self-consumption
Self-consumption changes certain aspects of the connection. Even without injection, connecting a self-consumption project often requires adaptations:
- Flow control to avoid accidental energy returns to the network.
- Installation of automatic switching devices.
- Compliance with applicable safety standards.
Installations with total self-consumption (without injection) require a special approach, as outlined in the regulations detailed by Enedis.
Peculiarities of connections and extensions
Enedis distinguishes two main types of works for connection:
| Work | Function | Typical situation |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Links the installation to the network | Basic connection |
| Extension | Reinforces or extends the network | If the network is under-dimensioned |
The need for an extension does not depend solely on the desired power: it can also arise from a physical constraint on the network at the project location.
- If the local network does not have the capacity to accommodate the new production, an extension is sometimes unavoidable.
- If several producers are concerned by the same extension, Enedis applies specific cost-sharing.
- The constraints are assessed during a preliminary technical study before the quotation, with the help of tools such as Capareseau to estimate feasibility.
Anticipating the connection mainly means properly understanding these technical aspects, even if it requires specialised support to secure the preliminary study. Underestimating can be costly, especially in the case of an unforeseen network extension.
Determination of costs according to the Enedis service catalogue
Determining the budget required to connect a solar installation to the public network requires a proper understanding of all the criteria that influence the total bill. The Enedis service catalogue groups together different calculation methods, types of costs, and allocation rules, depending on the producer’s situation and the installation’s power.
Calculation methods set by the CRE
The Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) strictly regulates how connection tariffs are calculated. It is they who ensure transparency and fairness for all producers. The rules are public and follow several stages:
- Evaluation of a reference connection operation (ORR), designed to minimise costs without compromising safety or feasibility.
- Classification between facilities carried out directly for the producer (own works) and those relating to the public interest or network structure.
- Application of “réfaction” rates, reducing the producer’s bill in specific cases (for example, for installations ≤ 250 kVA, this rate can reach 60%).
If there is a request to modify the route or characteristics by any party, any additional cost is the responsibility of the initiator of the change.
Producer’s own costs and applicable réfaction rates
Several types of fees are identified:
- Costs for own works (connection, specific extension for the installation).
- The S3REnR share for large or group installations.
- Ancillary service fees (commissioning, modifications, additional studies).
A discount known as the “réfaction rate” applies to a portion of the costs, varying according to the installed power:
| Connected power | Producer’s share |
|---|---|
| ≤ 250 kVA | 40% |
| > 250 kVA and grouped | 40–100% plus S3REnR share |
Certain ancillary services are charged per intervention, at a rate set out in the Enedis catalogue.
Standard price list figures and personalised quotations
The catalogue provides standardised price lists for common cases, but reality often requires adaptation:
- If there are technical constraints (network extension), the quotation is adapted on a case-by-case basis.
- The public rate schedule TURPE (Public Electricity Network Usage Tariff) includes variable amounts based on the power and the installation profile. For installations ≤ 250 kVA, details are included in the tariffs available on the network access tariff page.
- When several solutions are possible, the quotation will specify the reference option and the consequences of an alternative choice.
Every producer should carefully compare these items, as each parameter strongly influences the final price. A detailed comparative tool, such as the one presented for analysing quotations and choosing the best cost for solar installation on this specialist analysis tool, can be very useful in anticipating unforeseen costs.
Tip: take all additional costs (added services, supplementary connections, taxes) into account as you prepare your budget.
Billing for individual works and network extensions
The cost of a solar connection largely depends on the distinction between individual works, which concern the producer’s installation specifically, and network extensions, which are necessary in the event of technical constraints or remoteness from the connection point.
Definition of individual works at the producer’s expense
Individual works refer to all infrastructure created to connect only the producer’s installation to the public network. This includes, for example, the cable section between the distribution substation and the production site, as well as individual metering devices. The producer is responsible for these costs. The price can vary according to site layout, connected power and distance from existing networks.
- The producer receives an individual quotation detailing the exact fees.
- The cost directly relates to the required power and connection complexity.
- For a standard residential installation (<18 kVA), it is rare to exceed €1,000 (inc. VAT) for simple individual works, but this may quickly increase with more complex requirements.
For a fuller understanding of the required technical and financial proposal templates to include in the file, the required model for connection provides useful details for both private and medium-voltage projects.
Network extensions in the event of technical constraints
When it turns out that the existing public electricity network cannot accommodate the new installation, a network extension becomes necessary. Such extensions involve creating or adapting lines, substations, or public infrastructure outside the producer’s land.
- Extension costs are not always payable by the individual if certain regulatory conditions are met (such as proximity to an existing connection point).
- A part of these extensions may be covered by schemes such as TURPE, depending on the legal setup and location.
- If the installation is less than 250m from the MV/LV substation, only the new individual works are generally charged to the producer.
- In other cases, the producer may have to fund the entire network extension, especially if the site is isolated.
Here is a summary table of the main cases:
| Delivery voltage | Type of works | Typical cost (excluding complex options) |
|---|---|---|
| <18 kVA (Low Voltage) | Connection | 0 to <€1,000 inc. VAT |
| <18 kVA (Low Voltage) | Extension, connected site, same holder | €0 (TURPE) |
| <18 kVA (Low Voltage) | Extension, other case | Variable, possible contribution |
| >18 kVA | Individual works + extension | Highly variable, specific quotation |
Network extensions and adaptations are often subject to quotation, especially above 18 kVA or when the environment presents physical or administrative constraints.
Allocation of costs based on site configuration
The share of costs borne by the producer depends on:
- The distance between the site and the existing public electricity network.
- The type of installation (self-consumption, full sale, installed power, etc.).
- Any required extension or reinforcement of the network.
- The regulations linked to TURPE and the details of differentiated coverage.
Billing follows the official fee schedule, which is updated periodically. You can consult the Enedis billing schedule to see indicative prices, bearing in mind that some cases justify a tailored quotation.
In all cases, procedural transparency means that you receive a detailed quotation, specifying:
- Nature and cost of individual works;
- Amount due for any network extension;
- Any contributions from public schemes or local authorities.
In practice, this means that every solar connection project benefits from personalised support, allowing the total cost to be anticipated right from the planning stage. To optimise your budget and plan for regulatory changes, it’s wise to use Enedis’ simulation tools or engage the services of an experienced professional. Additionally, you will find advice on how best to optimise connection power with Enedis depending on your installation and requirements.
Methods and rates for photovoltaic commissioning
Commissioning a solar installation by Enedis marks the final stage before you can inject electricity into the public network. This process includes several formalities and costs that vary depending on the installation’s characteristics.
Rate differences depending on connected capacities
The amount charged for photovoltaic commissioning depends mainly on the installed power. Here is an overview of the main rates:
| Connected power | Estimated price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| ≤ 9 kVA | €50 to €65 |
| > 9 kVA to 36 kVA | €65 to €90 |
| > 36 kVA | Personalised quotation |
Rates are updated regularly, and each year a tariff notice updates the prices. For larger projects, Enedis provides a quotation to cover technical specificities, remoteness from the network, or the presence of particular equipment. For quick simulation, some installers use specific cost estimation tools, also accessible on the Enedis portal.
Commissioning service under Enedis monopoly
The commissioning is a regulated service, carried out exclusively by Enedis on the public network.
- No private company can intervene in this key step of the connection.
- This monopoly guarantees the compliance of installations with applicable technical and safety regulations for the network.
- The user is contacted as soon as all administrative formalities are complete (Consuel certificate, planning permission, etc.).
The presence of the user or installer is sometimes required on the day of the intervention, particularly to check the correct operation of the production system.
Billing per intervention and execution conditions
Commissioning is most often billed per intervention. This includes:
- The effective opening of the connection point on the public network.
- Installation and configuration of the Linky smart meter (if not already in place).
- Sending confirmation to the producer and, where applicable, to the energy supplier for the sale of electricity.
In more complex situations, billing may include additional charges linked to specific constraints or the need for extra travel (network extensions, special technical interventions). Importantly, for self-consumption with injection, the fees can be fully covered by Enedis, under certain conditions: see more details in this summary of connection fees.
To sum up, the transparency of rates applied by Enedis and their annual publication allows every producer to anticipate the commissioning cost before any final commitment.
Documents and supporting information to include with your connection application
A photovoltaic connection file cannot be assessed without a precise set of documents to be sent to Enedis. These supporting documents are used to check the project’s compliance, and its administrative and technical feasibility. Omission of a single document can suspend the assessment of the file, delaying the entire process. Here is in detail what you will need to prepare.
Planning permission and technical plans
For any solar connection project, planning permission is generally required, particularly if the installation alters the building’s appearance.
- Receipt of prior declaration or copy of the building permit (depending on the power and location)
- Layout plan: locates the installation and access to the network
- Site plan: situates the land within the municipality
Submission at the town hall is still essential before moving to the technical phase. To better understand what administrative information to gather, consult the standard connection application form.
Consuel certificate and other certificates
The Consuel certificate of compliance is mandatory to guarantee the electrical installation meets current safety standards. Without this certificate, the application cannot proceed:
- Consuel certificate specific to solar electricity production (purple file)
- If selling energy outside the feed-in tariff scheme, proof of integration into a balancing perimeter
- Sometimes a decoupling test required by Enedis
The Consuel is a paid document (around €213.30 for first files). An inspection visit is scheduled for every application, especially for individuals. More explanations are available about the Consuel certificate for solar requirements.
Mandate for third-party assistor or RGE professional
Using a professional or third-party agent to handle the application requires a written mandate:
- Mandate if the application is submitted by an installer
- If accessing the feed-in tariff, the installer’s professional qualification certificate
- Contact details and signatures of the parties involved
Summary list of documents to provide:
| Supporting document | Required | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Planning permission | Yes | Declaration or permit |
| Layout and site plans | Yes | Detailed plans |
| Consuel certificate | Yes | After works, before commissioning |
| Mandate or professional certificate | If needed | For professional assistance |
| Photographs and technical details | Often | Meters, circuit-breakers, box |
Taking the time to check every attached document and its currency can save several weeks in file processing and simplify communication with Enedis.
Catalogue of specific services for the particularities of solar
Photovoltaic installations sometimes present particular cases that require tailored responses in the Enedis service catalogue. This chapter details the specific offers designed for out-of-the-ordinary needs, particularly for self-consumers, group projects, and complex company and local authority configurations.
Case of self-consumers without injection (CACSI)
Self-consumers who do not wish to inject their energy into the network can opt for the Non-Injection Self-Consumption Agreement (CACSI). This applies to installations under 36 kWp.
- Signature of a CACSI agreement with Enedis, formalising the commitment not to inject.
- Proof of a technical device preventing injection (limiter or equivalent solution).
- Simplified declaration and application, often lighter compared to a standard connection.
The CACSI procedures are distinct in their simplicity, but it remains essential to submit the administrative form required by Enedis and provide the adapted technical plans. For such an application, the Enedis collection form is essential, even if there is no injection.
Note: Any application above 36 kWp falls under the standard operating contract with different rules.
Treatment of collective or grouped projects
The catalogue also includes provisions for collective photovoltaic projects, such as shared self-consumption (collective housing, eco-districts) or grouped connection operations.
- Joint study of electrical needs and shared connection costs.
- Centralised management of the application and administrative tracking via a representative in charge of the collective project.
- Specific technical adaptations (works on the distribution substation, individual allocation of production).
Here is an example of the breakdown of possible services:
| Type of service | Individual projects | Collective/group projects |
|---|---|---|
| Initial technical study | Included | Included, pooled |
| Connection works | Standard | Adapted to collective |
| Administrative tracking | Individual | Representative, grouped |
This type of organisation reduces the cost per producer and speeds up the administrative process.
Specifics for businesses and local authorities
Businesses and local authorities, often owners of large buildings or landholdings, benefit from particular services tailored to their constraints:
- Possibility of connection for high power or at medium voltage.
- Dedicated catalogues of ancillary services (Enedis-NOI-CF_16E for businesses and Enedis-NOI-CF_17E for local authorities).
- Specific processing times, often fixed by a defined timetable and the possibility of accelerated services.
Furthermore, from 1 August 2025, a new P890 service is being added to the catalogue, dedicated to early connection of low voltage installations for professionals, to facilitate planning for major projects.
Unusual configurations always require a personalised quotation, taking into account the nature of the site and the expected electrical network requirements.
In summary, Enedis tailors its offers and technical management methods according to the type of photovoltaic project, thus ensuring a better match to the variety of solar actors.
Tools and resources to anticipate photovoltaic connection
Anticipating the connection of your solar installation requires information on the different solutions and resources available to facilitate the process. Access to simulation tools, dedicated online portals, and educational content enables you to efficiently prepare each step, from the file to commissioning.
Simulation tools and forecast evaluation
Simulation tools offered by Enedis and other operators allow you to assess the technical requirements, connection power, and estimate the potential connection costs in advance. These simulations help you size your project correctly, whether for self-consumption or injection into the grid.
- Calculation of optimal power based on estimated consumption
- Estimate of connection or extension works costs, according to site setup and type of injection
- Simulation of average processing times
Using an online simulator gives you a clear idea of feasibility and the steps to anticipate. For more on calculating the electrical needs for a solar project, see this summary on fitting solar panels and connecting to the network.
Using online portals and the Enedis client area
The Enedis client area simplifies all administrative procedures related to connection. From project creation, it is advisable to register on the portal and use the following services:
- Submission and real-time tracking of the connection request
- Download of standard documents (mandate, plan templates)
- Simulation of works and consultation of automatically generated quotes
This portal has an intuitive interface; it lets you check the distribution area, get alerts on the status of your file or liaise directly with the Enedis teams if technical constraints arise.
Enedis webinars and educational resources
To supplement the information, Enedis regularly offers webinars, practical guides, and FAQs for photovoltaic project developers.
- Webinars on understanding the structure of connection costs and regulations
- Booklets for every administrative stage
- Video tutorials on preparing the file or declaring self-consumption
Informing yourself beforehand with these resources reduces errors when submitting the file, limits delays, and optimises your chances of successful solar connection.
In addition to such resources, the national regulation on solar feed-in obligation remains a useful source for assessing profitability and understanding the contractual rules attached to injecting energy into the grid. You can thus adjust your project before officially submitting your request.
