A contract may give rise to a claim for the expansion of the grid, if the expansion is necessary to connect a plant to the grid. This principle is based on the provisions on the connection charges, which may also include charges for a grid expansion (Art. 5 (6) Loi du 1er août 2007).

The persons entitled are plant operators connecting their plants to the grid (Art. 5 (1) Loi du 1er août 2007).
The person obligated is the grid operator (Art. 5 (1) Loi du 1er août 2007).
