Connections for generation
At Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) we connect generators of electricity to our network such as an embedded generator or a grid-connected renewable energy project.
Generators in Northern Ireland can register online for a micro, small or large scale connection.
The key to getting your generation connection when you need it is to put you request into us as early as possible.
Find out more about connections for micro generation of up to a maximum load of 6.5 kilowatts single phase or up to 20 kilowatts for three phase electricity.
Find out more about connections for small scale generation from 6.6 to 20 kilowatts, single phase or from 21 to 5 megawatts, three phase electricity.
Find out more about connections for large scale generation of electricity for commercial projects that will require loads of over 5 megawatts.
