Small scale generation

I have an embedded generator used as Backup for emergency supply (Short term paralleling generators) and only connect to the electricity network for short periods. Do I need to declare this on my application, and will this affect my MIC?

If the generator either never parallels with the electricity network, or only parallels for 3 minutes when turning on/off and no more than 5 minutes a month, then they are just noted on the application form as existing Generation. The installed generation capacity associated with this generator is not included when assessing the overall level of generation installed on the site for the purpose of Mini-Gen, SSG or for assessment of Total Installed Generation.
