The rules and law 1314 on the connection of gas relate to the gasification of individual houses with land. The owners of such buildings should study in advance the procedure for connecting to a common network, the rules for submitting applications, privileges for applicants of the first group, as well as other nuances, including the deadlines for issuing standard technical conditions and the amount of payment.
Process Connection Procedure

Now the conditions have changed, as the updated rules clearly indicate the time frame. The gas distribution company must provide the technical specifications no later than two weeks after submitting the application, the pipeline is laid within two years.
The cost of the procedure has decreased and now its size is from 20,000 to 50,000 rubles instead of 10,000-70000, provided that the distance from the building to the highway does not exceed 200 meters. If this distance is greater, residents of a cooperative or a holiday village will need to create a public organization in order to achieve the summing up of the highway at the expense of state funds. Now you need to connect, observing the rules and strict order specified in the updated rules.

Applicants of the first group for connecting gas
First, gas must be connected to applicants of the first group or category, which includes owners of cottages and residential buildings, public buildings and non-production enterprises for consumer services, including shops and cafes. Also included here are consumers whose marginal gas consumption per hour does not exceed 5-15 cubic meters. The cost of connection for such applicants will be minimal within the amounts specified in the rules.
Order 1314 on standard gasification also contains information on the connection periods, which should not exceed 12 months if the distance from the site’s borders to the connection point is less than 40 meters. These rules do not apply to exceptional cases when payment is established individually, taking into account the peculiarities of the land and other nuances. They will also not be valid if the applicants are subject to the terms of an investment program providing for other terms.
The second group of applicants includes industrial and agricultural enterprises, consumer services companies and boiler houses. In the third - large objects of various fields of activity.
Term for issuing technical conditions for gasification
Building owners need to know what the usual technological connection to gas networks is and to study the new changes that began to be implemented after 2018. The terms for the issuance of technical conditions and projects for connection contracts concluded between the contractor and the applicant are 15 days. If the connection to the gas pipeline does not require the construction of a separate network, which must be extended to a specific section, the project is issued within 5 working days.
Payment for the approved procedure also takes place as soon as possible, the whole process takes 22 business days. When it comes only to the actual connection, its effect will be from 12 to 3 months if the gas distribution network already exists and meets all the necessary requirements. In certain situations, these periods can be reduced to 10 business days.
Network Connection Fee
The government decree on gas supply primarily regulates the payment for the procedure for connecting to a common network. A fixed fee must be paid to applicants whose sites comply with standard requirements. In such a situation, the amount will not exceed 50 thousand rubles, if you just need to connect to the distributor and install home equipment. Owners of private buildings should remember that under the new rules, gas service specialists simply bring the pipe to the established limit of the land.
Further, the owner of the land or facility will decide for himself how to conduct gas through his territory. The indicated price in any case includes the construction of the gas pipeline, the procedure for its insertion and acceptance, as well as the launch of gas and testing of additional connected devices. For owners of objects of the second and third categories, standard prices for connection to networks established by the Committee on Tariff Rates and Costs are used.
