The Network Code Requirements for Generators [RfG], is one of three Connection Codes which form part of the European Network Codes. It seeks to provide a clear legal framework for grid connections and facilitate electricity trading whilst ensuring system security, facilitating the integration of renewable energy and ensuring a more efficient use of the network. The RfG ‘entered into force’ on 17 May 2016, however an implementation period is allowed for. The RfG only applies to generators that have concluded a final and binding contract for the purchase of their main generating plant after 17 May 2018. The RfG defines the requirements applicable to new generators with a Maximum Capacity of 800 W or greater. Generators are placed into one of four ‘type’ categories A-D which provide for a sliding scale of technical requirements. This document RfG Proposal for the General Application of Technical Requirements PDF | 1.2MB contains proposals for the general application of technical requirements in accordance with Articles 13 – 28 of the RfG. Consultation Process: EirGrid and ESB Networks is seeking and welcomes industry views on these proposals. Consultation responses shall be submitted to GridCode@eirgrid.com by 9th February 2018.
We would welcome any comments you have on the proposals, but for ease of response a template for responses can be used, and is available here
EirGrid and ESB Networks will host a webinar, scheduled for 16th January 2018, to present the proposals in detail and give industry an opportunity to discuss them in advance of the consultation closing.
