Terms and Conditions of Connection as an Integral Part of a Technological Connection Agreement: Legal Regulation Tendencies

Abstract

This article discusses the connection conditions as an integral part of the technological connection agreement. The article provides a comparative analysis of the technical conditions for connecting to the networks of engineering and technical support issued in accordance with the urban planning legislation with the connection conditions that are an annex to the technological connection agreement. The author also touches upon the issues of the historical development of the regulation of relations on connection to various types of engineering networks. The article notes that despite the existing isolation of the connection conditions from the technological connection agreement and the consideration of these documents by the legislator separately, recently legislative regulation has been developing in the direction of gradual unification of the content of the technological connection agreement and the connection conditions. In order to avoid duplication of the terms of connection of the provisions of the technological connection agreement, the author proposes to fix the connection measures directly in the text of the agreement at the legislative level.
