Batch processing is the new form of group processing under ECP. These batches are essentially groupings of projects which have been deemed successful. ECP-2 will have three batches in three years (ECP-2.1, ECP-2.2, ECP-2.3) which will determine when a project will receive a connection assessment (connection method and cost), for example, the community-led projects which are successful in the ECP-2.1 batch will receive their connection assessments in 2021. Each batch will target a total of 15 community-led projects.
