For installations of up to 3.68kW (kilowatts) per phase at more than one property; and more than one generator at a single property and/or more than one house with the same postcode when the last two digits are ignored (For example - PH1 2xx) has had generation installed, within a 28-day period,  you are required to apply to us prior to connecting your generation equipment and wait for us to come back to you to say whether any work is required before you can connect.

This still applies even if the total generation across all the properties or generators is less than 3.68kW. We may have to carry out works to our network to allow your generation to operate correctly. It can take up to 45 working days for you to receive a quotation from us for this application. The 45 working day countdown will start from the date you send us the correct information outlined below.

Frequently asked questions

Do you know you have a choice?

If you are looking to connect a site dedicated to generation, we can provide estimates and quotations for new or existing connections. If you wish, you can seek alternative estimates or quotations from Independent Connections Providers (ICPs). When you receive a quotation for the connection, it will be split into contestable and non-contestable elements.  This is done to be as clear as possible to what element a third party can offer.  For further information on what an ICP can offer, follow the link below.
