Grid connection
A site needs a connection point on the transmission or distribution system before it can be metered, nominated or settled. Official texts are the 2008 Transmission and Distribution Codes.

Why it matters
No connection point means no meter, no schedule and no imbalance perimeter. A new solar plant or a factory load starts here, not on ALPEX.
Most sites use the DSO. Large plants may connect to OST.
How it works
Official sources: Transmission Code (ERE 123/24.10.2008) and Distribution Code (ERE 100/26.8.2008). TradingDesk explanation: those files cover application, connection agreement, the connection point and technical conditions.
Metering at that point is the 2008 Metering Code. A closed industrial grid is a different ERE regulation.
These codes are from 2008. Later laws and ERE acts can change a step.

TradingDesk context
When onboarding a site, record the connection level and the metering point before building a forecast portfolio.
