At EME Power Systems we have been busy accommodating our customers in the rush to ensure that their renewable energy sources are commissioned before tariff changes take effect. In the last 3 months alone EME Power Systems have connected in excess of 10,000 kva of Anaerobic Digestion (AD), Solar & Wind generation to the distribution network or, to put it another way, enough energy to supply about 8,000 homes.

EME Power Systems Director, Robert Horn said:

"Any generation scheme of any significant capacity will require a high voltage metered electricity connection in order to connect to the distribution network operator's network. It will most likely also require an on-site private HV network of transformers & switchgear to complete the connection of the generating equipment to the network. These projects are an excellent example of where our Power Systems & Power Connections businesses operate together to provide a complete solution to the client. Our businesses provide a seamless electrical connection from the point(s) of generation through to the point of connection to the DNO's network. Generation export schemes are even more time sensitive than import only connections; OFGEM & generation tariff stipulations dictate that the connection be energised & "G59'd" to strict deadlines that have to be me - no exception, no excuse and any failure likely to result in seven figure consequential losses.

At EME Power Systems we understand that design & execution of that design to a high standard on its own does not equal success; the additional components of completing & G59ing to an agreed time line are also requirements of a successful project".

If you are an end client, consultant or a renewables provider and would like to discuss a generation scheme with an EME Power Systems engineer then we would be pleased to talk with you.
