Chapter 1: Purpose of the Grid Code

This Grid Code describes the technical criteria and requirements for the connection of distributed generation plants of capacity greater than 200 kW but not exceeding 2MW to the CEB's 22 kV distribution network.

The proposed capacity shall be the AC power output from the RE installation. Capacity capping on inverters shall be applicable as appropriate.

For solar PV installations, the installed DC capacity of solar panels shall not exceed 2% of the proposed AC capacity.

This Grid Code caters for the connection to the CEB distribution network and production of electricity by the following list of Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs):

1. Photovoltaic (PV)
2. Wind Turbine Generator (WTG)
3. Hydroelectric Generator
4. Biomass-based generator
