Does Limited Maximum Export Capacity (LMEC) affect the size of system I can install under the various schemes?
The Limited Maximum Export Capacity (LMEC) restricts the amount of export available from new Mini and Small Scale Generation to no more than 6KVA (single phase), 11kVA (three phase), regardless of the size of the system installed. The limits on the size of the generator which can be installed will be determined by the technical characteristics of the local connection. In general, Limited Maximum Export Capacity (LMEC) connection offers will require the installation of an Export Limiting Scheme (ELS) to limit the system export to the permitted Maximum Export Capacity (MEC) to no more than 6KVA (single phase), 11kVA (Three Phase).
