A connection charge is not reserved power — Ei’s 25-ampere schablon is not a hall invoice

Reading order

Seat the paper class before any kronor slogan. Write whether the object is Ei’s 16–25 ampere schablon, a named company’s written offer, a later EIFS 2026:10 design rule, or only a press comparison — before you say the hall is priced.

Then keep the 2026 table on its own row. The published bands, the 700-metre example and the neighbour-sharing sentence measure a small-fuse method. They do not measure a regional or transmission hall hook-up. Do not scale the table into a megawatt invoice.

Then keep 1 January 2027 on its own row. EIFS 2026:10 is a later design rule: shallow as the main principle, deeper only with named reasons, schablons still for at most 25 amperes. It is not yet a 2026 hall invoice and not a reserved feeder.

Then keep named project rows as geography. Microsoft, Falun, Horndal, SWE04 Sollefteå and evroc Arlandastad stay operator papers. This register does not publish a hall connection charge for those cadastral units.

• The 16–25 ampere schablon is a household-scale method, not a hall tariff.
• A written offer is a different object from Ei’s table.
• EIFS 2026:10 is a 1 January 2027 design clock.
• Connection duty and the investigation fee sit on other pages.

What a schablon, a shallow charge and a deep charge actually measure

The 2026 schablon measures a highest reasonable charge for a named small-fuse band and a bird’s-flight distance. Ei’s page is explicit that the extra metre fee sits only on the metres above the lower bound of each band. A marketing sentence that “Sweden charges X kronor per megawatt” is not that showing.

The 11 August 2026 notice measures a later national design: shallow customer-specific costs as the main rule, collective financing of upstream measures, and a deeper charge only where the company would otherwise recover only a small share or where other special reasons apply. Those are design tests. They are not a hall quotation.

A review request to Ei measures a later dispute object. It is not a reservation and not a TSO förhandsbesked. The connection-duty page already owns the two-year window for asking Ei to review terms.

Operator notices measure existence and intention. A named campus town is a paper-class geography. It does not prove what anyone was invoiced.

What named primary sources show

Ei’s connection-charge page, reviewed 3 December 2025, remains the dated national commentary for the 16–25 ampere 2026 schablon, the 700-metre example and the neighbour-sharing sentence. Ei PM 2013:03 version 12 remains the method paper named on that page for 2026.

The 11 August 2026 notice and the EIFS 2026:10 publication page remain the dated 1 January 2027 design clock: shallow as the main principle, deeper only with named reasons, schablons still for at most 25 amperes, and the new statutory vocabulary. Named operator rows remain geography.

No cited source here publishes a project-specific hall connection invoice or a reserved hall megawatt created by scaling the 25-ampere table.

A matrix instead of one hall-price slogan

Draw one page with object rows and evidence columns. The 16–25 ampere schablon, a named written offer, EIFS 2026:10’s shallow rule, a deeper-charge reason, a duty finding and a named campus town are different columns. Empty cells stay empty.

Do not invent a hall kronor-per-megawatt from the household table. Those remain method facts from dated Ei pages.

Common misreads

The first misread is to treat Ei’s 16–25 ampere table as a hall tariff. The page names a household-scale fuse and a bird’s-flight band. The second is to collapse the connection charge into the connection duty. Duty asks whether the company must connect. Charge asks how a lawful connection is priced. The third is to treat the 2025 investigation fee as this charge. That fee sits on the etiquette page and is not set off against a later connection charge.

The fourth is to treat EIFS 2026:10 as already the 2026 invoice rule. The notice writes 1 January 2027. The fifth is to treat a deeper-charge example as a northern-Sweden hall surcharge. The sixth is to invent a kronor-per-megawatt from the table. The seventh is to treat a campus town as proof that a hall already holds a priced offer.

What to ask next

Ask which dated paper anyone is quoting — the 16–25 ampere schablon, a written offer, an EIFS 2026:10 design sentence or only a press comparison — and which electrical installation it names. Ask whether the offer is shallow or names a deeper-charge reason. Ask whether anyone has collapsed this charge into the duty or the investigation fee.

Then open the connection-duty page, the queue-etiquette page, the early-indication page and the grid-connection page. If the operator will not name the offer and the date, record the gap. Do not fill it from the household table. This page is not legal advice.

1. Is the paper the 16–25 A schablon, a written offer or only a press comparison?
2. Which installation and which network class does it name?
3. Has anyone treated EIFS 2026:10 as already a 2026 invoice?
4. Has the charge been collapsed into the duty or the investigation fee?
5. Has a campus town been treated as a priced offer?

What this does and does not prove

This page proves that Ei already publishes a 16–25 ampere 2026 schablon and a later 1 January 2027 shallow-charge design in EIFS 2026:10 — and that those facts are not a reserved hall megawatt.

It does not prove that a named Swedish hall holds a priced offer. It does not invent a kronor-per-megawatt for Horndal or Arlandastad. It does not treat a campus press note as an invoice.

Empty cells stay empty. Until a later primary source names the installation, the offer and the dated paper, the connection-charge clock stays a method, not a census. DataCenterSweden records the method.
