Compliance report
The CFE bill shows an average power factor for the period. The Grid Code (Código de Red) is verified on short-interval measurements, and you comply when the value holds for almost the whole month.
A plant with a good average and motor starts that knock it down every shift can be outside the criterion without the bill hinting at it. The only way to know is to measure.
It applies to load centers connected at medium and high voltage, regardless of their supply scheme or contracted demand. If your plant is on GDMTH or DIT, it is covered.
If your service is low voltage — PDBT or GDBT — it does not apply to you, and you have no reason to pay for a compliance report.
Current framework: RES/550/2021 (DOF, Dec 31, 2021), which updated the 2016 provisions. Today it is overseen by the National Energy Commission; connection studies are defined by CENACE.
The quickest test of whether whoever quotes you knows what they are talking about: most proposals cover three or four.
Levels and regulation at the point of connection.
Sags and overvoltages that affect process control.
Response of the installation to system deviations.
Fault currents and interrupting capacity of the equipment.
That the breaker that should trip does, and not the one upstream.
Measured and corrected at the point of connection, not estimated from the bill.
Current and voltage harmonic distortion within limits.
Signals and communication with the system operator.
Each study uses the result of the previous one: without an up-to-date single-line diagram there is no reliable short-circuit study, and without short circuit there is no protection coordination worth anything.
The work plan only appears when the compliance report finds non-compliance: it is the document you use to get up to date, with works, deadlines and responsible parties.
When you will be asked for it
The application stalls until the technical criteria are proven.
Solar, cogeneration or batteries start from the same things the compliance report reviews.
The Law provides for penalties for failing to meet connection obligations.
