No. Procedure Time to Complete Associated Costs
1 The client submits an application to Ma-MWE and awaits estimate of connection fees

The following documents are needed along with the application:
- ID card
- Connection authorization from MA-MWE (or from the closest pole's owner)
- Property title (in practice, this has never been requested)
- A plan of the installations (in practice, this has never been requested)

Agency: MA-MWE 		10 calendar days KMF 50,000.0
* 2 The client obtains external inspection by Ma-MWE



Agency: MA-MWE 		1 calendar day no charge
3 The client obtains external works and final connection from Ma-MWE

Only MA-MWE is in charge of the external works (which, in this case, consist of installing an overhead substation).
The material for this case is usually not available in the utility's stock, and it has to be imported (especially for the transformer), often from France. The material to be installed includes the overhead transformer and its accessories (on both sides of the transformers), cables, poles (a pole every 70 meters), joints, panel, and meter.
The excavation permit is obtained by the utility from the relevant public agencies.
No inspection of the internal wiring is carried out.
