What is unlicensed electricity generation and how does the process work for businesses that want to generate their own power?
Unlicensed electricity generation is the regulatory framework that allows businesses and consumers to generate electricity from renewable sources such as solar, without a generation license, to cover their own consumption. It is a significant opportunity for industrial facilities looking to cut energy costs with rooftop and ground-mounted solar plants.
How does the process generally work?
- Reviewing the facility's consumption data and sizing the plant correctly
- Submitting the connection application to the relevant distribution company
- Preparing the project and completing approvals
- Installation, acceptance and commissioning
As regulations are updated over time, we recommend following the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources' unlicensed generation page for current rules and application conditions.
Our renewable energy company SACA supports businesses at every step from feasibility to commissioning. Contact us about your project.
