  • The Eswatini Grid Code

    This document legally establishes technical and other requirements for the connection to and use of an electrical utility in a manner that will ensure reliable, efficient, and safe operation.

  • Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generation Part 2: Small-Scale Embedded Generation Section 3: Simplified Utility Connection Criteria for Low-Voltage Connected Generators

    NRS097-2-3 (2023): This specification clarifies conditions under which small scale embedded generators (<1MW) may connect to distribution feeders without negative network impact, and thus not require impact studies. Application of the specification speeds up connection approvals significantly (NRS Association).

  • Grid Interconnection of Embedded Generation PART 2: Small-Scale Embedded Generation SECTION 1: UTILITY INTERFACE

    NRS097-2-1 2017 (Ed2.1 revised July 2020): This section of NRS 097 series aims to be technology neutral and focuses on the requirements at the interface between the embedded generator and the utility, although it is expected that the specification will mainly apply to photovoltaic grid connected systems interfaced through static power converter technology. Static power converters are also utilized to convert for example, wind power, micro-hydro power, pico hydro power, battery storage energy and fuel cells to grid compatible electricity.  This specification covers aspects of the Grid Code relevant to small-scale (up to 1MVA) embedded generators, including power quality and safety concerns. (NRS Association)

  • Namibia Renewable Energy Grid Code: Final

    These are the set of rules which define conditions for accessing the electricity grid.

  • Grid Connected Distributed Generation in Africa: Guide

    A guide for integrating grid-connected DG onto distribution networks, covering technical, regulatory, policy, financial and economic aspects thereof, and pointing to areas where support may be useful. Draws on international and African experience, and is relevant to utilities as well as technical assistance providers (GIZ as part of the GET.Transform Programme)

  • ESMAP Technical Report: Integrating PV Distributed Generation into Power Systems

    This informative report covers the technical and other considerations that Utilities and Regulators should consider in establishing a PV DG permitting process, drawing on a significant amount of DG experience around the world.
