WHAT IS THE GRID CODE COMPLIANCE?
The GRID CODE COMPLIANCE are provisions issued by the CRE that contain the minimum requirements necessary to guarantee the efficient development of all the processes associated with SEN.
Through it, activities such as the interconnection of power plants, the connection of load centers, the planning and operation of the electrical system are regulated.
Its objective is to establish the necessary technical criteria that all the members of the Electric Industry must observe and comply with in a mandatory manner during the development of their activities, to guarantee that the electrical system reaches and maintains an operation.

Fine of 50 to 200 thousand minimum wages, equivalent to 5 and 20 million pesos
WHAT IF
I DO NOT COMPLY?
Compliance assessment:
The Electric Power System can be evaluated at any time by inspection or verification units designated by the CRE.
In the event of demand expansion procedures, new connection points, supplier changes, etc., it is necessary to deliver compliance studies and it is verified by means of measurements to approve the end of the required procedure.
COMPLIANCE WITH
GRID CODE
This study aims to verify compliance with the grid code. Measurements are made at the PCC, with a measurement equipment that has the resolution required in the established methodologies.
The grid code issued by the CRE on April 8, 2016 is mandatory for all electric power systems and generating plants interconnected to the grid.
