Micro Generators

The first step is to complete and submit the form found here. NPEI will respond to this request and provide you with the connection details for the proposed project and outline the available capacity.

After the preliminary consultation, complete and submit the form found here.

NPEI will review the application and, once it is accepted, an Engineering Technician will visit the proposed installation site to gather information to put together the Offer to Connect.

NPEI will issue a Connection Agreement and Offer to Connect which outlines the requirements and NPEI costs to connect the generator. If you decide to proceed with the project, you will be required to pay the connection fees detailed in the Offer to Connect.

Once the micro generation facility has been built according to our requirements, you will need to apply to the Electrical Safety Authority for an electrical inspection.

After the Electrical Safety Authority provides us with the electrical inspection "Connection Authorization", we will schedule a site visit to perform a witness test on the generator protections.

After a successful witness test, NPEI will schedule a meter change to install the new bi-directional meter. NPEI will also do the necessary work to ensure billing arrangements are setup based on the project type.
