Large generation connections

Connections from 1.5MW to 4.99MW include medium-scale commercial or industrial generation systems connecting into our 22kV distribution network. Connections 5MW and above connect into our 22kV or 66kV network. These connections may include solar, wind, hydro generation or battery storage.

As of 1 July 2021, any offers for connecting embedded generation above 1.5MW will include an amount to cover our tax costs from connection service revenues (if applicable). This is in line with our approved Electricity Distribution Price Review for 2021-2026.
