NGED and your Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt connection
The distribution network operator (DNO) for Kibworth Beauchamp and Kibworth Harcourt is National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED), which runs the East Midlands licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means NGED is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
Above that, G99 means applying before the work is booked. NGED's guaranteed standards give 45 working days for a low voltage generation quotation, with £80 paid for each working day late.
