• Download Connections Template

• Navigate to the Connections module of your claim

• Click Download Template to download the Excel template, fill out the required fields, and save your file

• Please see a list of the data requested below:

When you have completed your Excel template, follow the instructions below to import the connections into Odyssey

• Select the Import/Update Connections button.

• Upload the completed Excel template.

• Make any necessary edits directly in the software by clicking on a connection, or download the connections, make changes, and re-upload.
  

• Check the Submittable column to ensure that the required information has been provided and there are no duplicate connections:

• If the Submittable column says "Yes," you have provided the required information and can submit your connections.

• If the Submittable column is red and says "No," either data is missing or the connection has already been submitted. Filter by "No" to see which connections need additional information. Missing rows will be highlighted in pink.
  

Base Grant and geographic incentive claims will be submitted quarterly within the month following the end of the calendar. However, Collection incentive claims will be submitted after 6 months.

To verify the connections in your claim for the base grant, the following criteria must be met:

• Base grant: paid out upon sale and installation at customer’s location.

• Geographic incentive: paid out for sales to customers in specific districts according to the level grade of the district (see Annex E in the Call for proposal document).

• Collection incentive: paid out after 6 months if Beneficiary collects at least 70% of the contract amount from the customer (active customers). The Facility reserves the right to increase the collection rate in the future to improve sustainability and long-term energy access.

To verify the connections in your claim:

Navigate to the Connections section of the Approved project

• Select the Verify button

• Select Verify All (Filtered) Connections to verify all connections
  Note: You can also verify individual connections by selecting the checkboxes next to the connections you would like to verify.

• View the verification status of each connection in the Verify column.

• Once you select 'Verify', the verification process will be Initiated and the status of each of them will be displayed. Review the meaning of each status below:

1. Verification in progress: The request to verify the connection has been sent.

2. Payment not found: A payment document could not be found for the external ID of the connection.

3. Data out of date range: At least one document was found, but not within the date range of the rule.

4. Didn’t meet requirements: At least one document was found in the date range, but it doesn’t meet the requirements.

5. Error during verification: An unexpected error occurred.

6. Verified: Verification was successful

Once you have completed the remote verification process, follow the steps below to submit your connections to the Program Administrator.

• Select the Check for Duplicates button. 

• This ensures you’re not submitting a connection that has already been submitted in a previous quarter. If you don’t check for duplicates, the Submit button will be greyed out and unclickable.

• The platform will run a duplicate check — this may take up to 15 minutes, depending on the volume of data.

• Once completed, a pop-up will appear showing the upload results, including the number of External IDs identified as potential duplicates.
  
  

• After duplicate check, Select the Submit button
  

• Choose Submit Selected Connections or Submit All (Filtered) Connections from the dropdown menu

• Verify that all connections were submitted in the summary panel at the top of the page

• Filter the Submission Status to "Not Submitted" to see connections that were not submitted

• If you have connections that were not submitted, verify that your connections are “Submittable” (see above), make any necessary updates, and then resubmit if needed
  

4. View your connections status

Once you have submitted connections, the +Energia administrators will review your connections and either mark the connections as Approved, Paid, or Rejected.
You can view a summary of the status of all connections in the summary at the top of the Connections module and will be notified by email of any connection status updates.
