G83/1-1  Stage 1 - Small-Scale Embedded Generation

If you wish to install a small-scale embedded generation unit (SSEG unit) using one of the following technologies:

• Domestic Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
• Photovoltaic (PV)
• Fuel cells
• Micro hydro power

you must comply with the requirements of:-

Engineering Recommendation G83/1-1 – Recommendations for the connection of small-scale embedded generators (up to 16A per phase) in parallel with public low-voltage distribution networks.

If you wish to install a small solar PV system click here for details of the size of the system allowed.

If you are not using one of the technologies listed above, for example you are installing a wind turbine, please click here

The connection process for installing SSEG varies according to whether you wish to install a single SSEG unit, or multiple SSEG units as part of a larger project.

For single installations rated up to 16A per phase click here
For multiple/planned SSEG units click here
For changing or decommissioning units click here
