This document is to facilitate the installation of generation at demand sites within the scope of Mini-Generation and Small Scale Generation, as defined in the "Conditions Governing the Connection and Operation of Mini-Generation" and the "Conditions Governing the Connection and Operation of Small Scale Generation".

Special Load Readings (SLR) are a coincident set of measurements of simultaneous load for all distribution substations. The readings are recorded for 4 times annually as follows:

• Winter: Measure at 12.30 and 18.00 hours on second Thursday in December. If the second Thursday in December is the 8th then the measurements are taken on the following Tuesday, December 13th.
• Summer Peak: Measured at 12.30 hours on the fourth Thursday in June.
• Summer Valley: Measured at 06.00 hours on the Sunday preceding the early August Monday Public Holiday.

This application form is for customers who wish to apply to relocate a pole or line. NW1 |ESB Networks

This document provides information for LV connected demand customers, with an installed generation capacity up to an installed capacity of 72 A single-phase (c. 17 kVA) or 72 A per phase three-phase (c. 50 kVA), termed "Mini-Generation".

This PDF gives a high level review of existing network capacity for connecting large demand.

On the 10th June 2020, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) published a  Decision Paper - Enduring Connection Policy Stage 2 (ECP-2) CRU/20/060 (the “CRU Decision Paper”), following a CRU Consultation - Enduring Connection Policy Stage 2 (ECP-2) - Proposed Decision CRU/19/143. 

As directed by the CRU, this standard application form has been published to facilitate the implementation of Section 2.9 of the CRU Decision Paper. This application form should not be used for any other purpose. 

This document provides a guide to the requirements of ESB Networks in relation to electricity installations in housing schemes.

Application Form for Mini-Generator Connections at LV with an installed generation capacity between 25A  (~6kVA) and 72A (~17kVA) for single phase connections and between 16A (~11kVA) and 72A (~50kVA) for three phase connections. NC7 | ESB Networks
