Chapter 1 - Purpose of the Grid Code

This Grid Code describes the technical criteria and requirements for the connection of distributed generation unit(s) of capacity greater than 50 kW but not exceeding 200 kW to the CEB's 22 kV distribution network.

Capacity Requirements

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.

Applicable Renewable Energy Technologies

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

Note:

  • For the technical criteria and requirements for the connection of MSDG of capacity greater than 200 kW, please consult the relevant grid code available on ceb.intnet.mu
  • For applicants having an existing HT metering supply, refer to Clause 3.1.
