How Does the Enedis Connection Process Work?
Connecting your property to the Enedis electricity network is a crucial step to power your new building. Whether it's for a newly built home, an extension, a commercial space, or an electric vehicle charging station, the Enedis connection process follows specific steps that we help you navigate smoothly and efficiently.
The 5 Key Steps of the Enedis Electrical Connection Process
- 1. Submitting the connection request: We take care of preparing your complete application, including all required documents (site plan, location plan, desired power). With our support, this step typically takes 24 to 48 hours, compared to several days if you handle it on your own.
- 2. Feasibility study by Enedis: Enedis reviews your request and assesses the work needed for your connection (distance from the existing network, type of connection, available power). Depending on the complexity of your project, this step may take between 10 days and 3 months.
- 3. Receiving and signing the quotation: You will receive a detailed technical and financial proposal from Enedis. Our team helps you understand every line of the quotation and advises you on the available options. The quotation remains valid for 3 months.
- 4. Execution of the connection works: Once the quotation is signed and the deposit is paid, Enedis schedules and carries out the connection work. This phase generally lasts between 2 and 6 months depending on the scope of the works and team availability.
- 5. Commissioning and activation of the meter: The final step involves installing the Linky smart meter and activating your electrical supply. After this, you can choose your electricity provider and subscribe to an energy contract.
Required documents for your file
To compile a complete connection file, you will need several technical documents. Our support service helps you gather and verify all these elements to avoid any file rejection:
- • A geographical location plan (scale 1/25000)
- • A site plan of your property (scale 1/200 or 1/500)
- • Planning permission (building permit or prior declaration)
- • Technical specifications of your installation (desired power, type of connection)
- • Your complete contact details and property coordinates

Cost Breakdown: A Transparent Overview of Your Enedis Connection Budget
Estimating the budget for your electrical connection requires a clear understanding of how Enedis pricing is structured. Beyond the technical fees charged by the network operator, our support service—priced at €133.63 including tax—ensures that your file is fully compliant from the very first submission, helping you avoid costly delays and administrative errors.
4 Key Factors That Determine Your Connection Costs
Every electrical connection is unique. Here are the main criteria Enedis evaluates when preparing its quotation:
The distance between your property and the nearest connection point directly impacts trenching, cabling, and civil engineering work. For example, a plot located 30 meters from the transformer will cost significantly less to connect than a plot situated 150 meters away from the closest network point.
The power rating defines the capacity of your electrical installation. A 9 kVA meter (apartment, small house) costs less than a 36 kVA three-phase meter suitable for large, well-equipped homes (heat pump, fast EV charger, heated pool).
Overhead connection (via pole) remains the most economical option in rural areas. Underground connection—mandatory in many urban zones—requires more extensive excavation work and therefore generates additional costs (typically between €500 and €1,500 depending on cable length).
If the local transformer is overloaded or if your project requires the installation of a new medium-voltage line, Enedis may require network reinforcement or extension works, which can significantly increase the total cost. These situations mainly affect rapidly developing areas or high-consumption projects.

Why Invest €133.63 in Professional Support?
This one-time service frees you from the entire administrative process—an area prone to costly mistakes and significant delays. Here is what makes this investment worthwhile:
- Comprehensive document audit: Verification of your plans, planning permissions, and cadastral data before submission.
- Optimized technical drafting: Preparation of your application using the exact terminology and technical details required by Enedis.
- Secure official submission: Your complete file is transmitted through the proper channels with formal proof of receipt.
- Proactive, personalized follow-up: We monitor the progress of your request until you receive the Enedis quotation.
- Strategic guidance: Identification of optimization options (appropriate power level, technical choices, potential subsidies).
A Real Return on Investment: An incomplete or incorrect application typically causes an average delay of 45 days. For a stalled construction project, this can result in indirect costs (temporary rental, penalties for delays, idle teams) that far exceed our support fee.
Available Financial Assistance: Reduce Your Out-of-Pocket Costs
Depending on your project's location and nature, several financial support mechanisms can significantly reduce your final expenses:
Priority subsidy for electrical connections in rural or peri-urban areas. It can cover up to 40% of eligible costs. Managed by departmental energy syndicates.
Some local authorities offer additional financial aids to support new housing construction or energy-efficient renovations. Check with your town hall or local inter-municipal authority (EPCI).
For installing an electric vehicle charging point, you may benefit from a 75% tax credit, capped at €300 per charging system.
💡 Our tip: During our support process, we systematically identify applicable subsidies for your situation and direct you to the right contacts to benefit from them.
Types of Electrical Connections Supported
Each electrical connection project has its specific characteristics. Our support service covers all types of Enedis connections for individuals, professionals, and local authorities. Discover the different use cases and particularities of each situation.
New Home Connection
The most common case: you are building a single-family home and need a complete connection to the electrical grid. This type of connection requires coordination between your building permit, your electrician's plans, and Enedis technical requirements. The standard power rating for a new home ranges between 9 kVA and 12 kVA, sufficient to cover heating, hot water, household appliances, and lighting needs for a typical residence.
Average lead time: 2 to 4 months from application submission to commissioning
Extension or Expansion
Are you expanding your existing home with a conservatory, an outbuilding, or an additional floor? If your current electrical installation cannot support the additional load, a supplementary connection or power modification may be required. In some cases, simply requesting an increase in your existing meter's power rating is sufficient, but sometimes a second connection point is needed, especially for an outbuilding located far from the main building.
Average lead time: 1 to 3 months depending on complexity
Commercial or Professional Premises
The electrical needs of a shop, office, or workshop differ significantly from those of a residence. Professional premises generally require higher power (often 36 kVA or more) and specific technical characteristics: three-phase supply, multiple distribution boards, enhanced protection. Connecting a commercial premises must also account for illuminated signs, refrigerated display cases, professional equipment, and safety standards specific to the business sector.
Average lead time: 2 to 6 months depending on requested power
Electric Vehicle Charging Station
With the rise of electric mobility, more and more homeowners want to install a charging station at home. A standard 7 kW station (accelerated charging) can generally be powered by your existing installation if you have spare power capacity. However, a fast 22 kW station often requires a dedicated three-phase connection or a significant increase in subscribed power. Our support helps you determine the optimal solution based on your vehicle and needs.
Average lead time: 1 to 2 months for a dedicated installation
Temporary Construction Site Connection
During the construction phase, you need electricity to power your tools (concrete mixer, saw, drill) and temporary site lighting. The temporary Enedis connection, typically 12 kVA single-phase, provides a secure power supply throughout the construction period. This temporary connection will then be replaced by the permanent connection once construction is complete.
Average lead time: 10 days to 1 month (expedited procedure)
Photovoltaic Production (Self-consumption or Resale)
If you are installing photovoltaic solar panels, you must submit a specific connection request to Enedis, separate from the consumption connection. For self-consumption with surplus resale, a bidirectional Linky meter will be installed to measure both your consumption and production. The administrative procedures are more complex as they also involve a purchase contract with EDF OA or another obligated buyer, as well as a specific Consuel certificate for production.
Average lead time: 2 to 4 months (production + consumption procedures)
Special Cases and Rural Areas
Properties located in rural or isolated areas may require electrical network extension work if the nearest connection point is too far away (beyond 100 meters). In this case, Enedis assesses the cost of extension work and provides you with a quote that may be significantly higher than a standard connection. Specific subsidies (FACE, local authorities) exist to reduce this financial burden.
Our support service is particularly useful in these complex situations where coordination between Enedis, local authorities, and assistance organizations requires in-depth expertise of the procedures.
