To operate electricity distribution within their boundaries, organized industrial zones must complete licensing processes before the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK). Preparing the application file, compiling the technical information on the distribution region, and managing correspondence with the authorities is a multi-step process that demands knowledge of both the legislation and electrical infrastructure.
Miratek accompanies OIZ administrations end to end through this process. The application file is prepared in accordance with the Electricity Market legislation; distribution region information, the infrastructure inventory, and technical documentation are compiled from field-verified data. Correspondence with EPDK and the other relevant authorities, deficiency notices, and deadline tracking are managed through a single point of contact.
Working with a team experienced in designing and contracting OIZ electrical infrastructure ensures the technical content of the license file is consistent with the actual situation in the field. That consistency is the precondition for the process to move through authority reviews without getting stuck.

How We Work
Current State Analysis
The OIZ's electrical infrastructure, distribution region boundaries, and existing documentation status are reviewed.
File Preparation
The application file, technical annexes, and infrastructure inventory are compiled in accordance with the legislation.
Application and Registration
The file is submitted before EPDK; the application record and process timeline are shared with the OIZ administration.
Deficiency and Correspondence Management
Deficiency notices and requests for opinion from the authorities are answered within their deadlines.
License Grant and Beyond
The process concludes with the grant of the license; support continues for amendments and obligation tracking as needed.
Scope of Work
- Preparation and submission of the license application file
- Compilation of distribution region information and the infrastructure inventory
- Management of correspondence with EPDK and the relevant authorities
- Answering deficiency notices within their deadlines
- Preparation of license amendment applications
- Advisory on post-license regulatory obligations
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it matter for an OIZ to hold an electricity distribution license?
The license is the legal basis on which the OIZ conducts electricity distribution to the participants within its boundaries in compliance with the legislation. Licensed distribution gives the OIZ administration a say in infrastructure and tariff processes and clarifies the legal framework of the service provided to participants.
What is the most common problem in the application process?
The most frequent problem is technical information in the application file that does not match the actual infrastructure in the field, and late responses to deficiency notices. Preparing the infrastructure inventory from field-verified data and tracking correspondence diligently are the two key factors that keep the process from dragging on.
What happens when the existing license needs changing?
In cases such as an OIZ boundary change, a capacity increase, or a change of title, a license amendment application is filed. The amendment file is prepared with the same care as the original application — with up-to-date infrastructure data and justifications. The process is again tracked before EPDK through to conclusion.
