5MW and above Connections

Learn about the timeline, process, and cost of connecting and installing an embedded generator connection with 5MW or greater capacity.

5MW and above connections

Generator connections into our 22kV or 66kV distribution network are classified as embedded generator connections.

This page sets out the process, indicative costs and timeframes of embedded generator connections with generation capacity of 5MW or greater.

Before you start your application, visit our high-voltage network data portal which contains information such as ratings and connection data.

For generation connections under 5MW, see 1.5MW to 4.99MW connections.
