Connect a Micro-Generator
Micro-Generator is a source of electrical energy which operates in parallel with ESB Networks LV System and rated up to and including:
- 25 amperes (6kVA) at low voltage [230 volts] when the connection is single phase
- 16 amperes(11kVA) at low voltage [230/400 volt] when the connection is three-phase
- To familiarise yourself with the process, please read the updated document Conditions governing the Connection & Operation of Micro Generation Policy | PDF 518KB. Also see Step by Step Guide at the end of this page.
