EGS & PCA

Let’s work together to put the energy strategy into practice.

You’ll be making a valuable contribution to a renewable future. We are happy to support you in your project and thus contribute to your important commitment. Let’s work together to reach the goals of the 2050 Energy Strategy.

Establish a private consumption alliance (PCA) and benefit sustainably

A private consumption alliance (PCA) offers tenants and/or condominium owners or landowners the option of using primarily locally produced electricity directly. In private consumption, the energy is not carried in the grid of the local distribution grid operator. The costs of grid usage do not apply for private consumers.

Technical connection conditions for EGS and storage

When implementing an EGS, please note our TCC for EGS. These also apply for storage units.

• Appendix B2: Grid diagram for EGS > 30 kVA
• Appendix B1 explanation: Activation of EGS ≤ 30 kVA with contactor as alternative

Factory acceptance and standards to be set

Primeo Energie carries out a factory acceptance test at all EGS sites. The producer confirms to Primeo Energie that all specifications have been complied with and that the settings are in line with the TCC for EGS.

As a rule, and unless otherwise stated on the application for connection, the current country setting for Switzerland must be set in accordance with NA/EGS-CH. Alternatively, the current VDE-AR-N 4105:2018—11 data record (or for medium voltage 4110) can be selected in exceptional cases. Older country rates which are no longer valid may no longer be used.

For EGS > 3.6 kVA with Type 2 converter, characteristic curve Q(U) must be set in accordance with Appendix D of TCC for EGS (static grid support). With an output ≤ 3.6 kVA, cosφ = 1 can be used.
