Yes, we can accommodate Small Scale Generation NC8/NC5 applications at the same time as an MIC change, once the MIC change application has also come in through the relevant application channel and is in process. Further information may be found at  Changing Your Level of Supply.

The Small Scale Generation application will be on hold until such time that we are notified by the Client/Consultant, via email to dsominigeneration@esb.ie, that the MIC change has been finalised. Once confirmed we will move the application to the invoice stage if all details and supporting documents are in order.

Note: An MIC increase does not guarantee that you will the able to contract the full, requested MEC. This can only be determined by a specific technical study on the local network which will be completed as part of the process and will inform the MEC available, or an outline of reinforcement work which may be required to enable a specific MEC. The results of these findings can be impacted by variables such as distance from the transformer, available capacity, harmonics, potential imbalance etc. As such we advise customers to await the completion of this study and receipt of their connection offer prior to fully committing to the final details of their installation
