Izvestia: may be refused connection due to lack of documents and remoteness from networks 
Summer residents may be refused electricity if they do not have a complete package of documents that are attached to the application for technological connection. The second reason may be significant distance from networks. This was reported to the Izvestia newspaper by the press service of the electrical networks of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region (JSC LOESK).
To conclude an agreement, you must contact the nearest network organization. Information about the balance holder and the distance from the site to the power grid facilities can be found at the local Center for Connecting to Power Grids. It is noted that the gardener has the right to apply to any network organization whose facilities are located at a distance of less than 300 meters from the boundaries of the applicant's site.

In case of refusal, the land owner will have to go to court to oblige SNT to organize electricity. At the same time, the Ministry of Energy advised in such cases to contact the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (OFAS).
In mid-October, the government made it easier for summer residents to connect land plots to electricity. Now the board of SNT or DNT will not be able to interfere with the work on connecting to the networks. Communications will be conducted “directly to the applicant's site.” Prior to this, the line was extended to the borders of SNT. However, the change only affects the connection of devices with a capacity of no more than 15 kW.
