NGED and your Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe connection
Leicester Forest East and Kirby Muxloe is served by National Grid Electricity Distribution (NGED): the town's centre falls inside its East Midlands licence area on NESO's boundary map.
Most home systems stay within 3.68kW per phase of inverter output, which puts them on G98, a notification to NGED within 28 days of switch-on. Panel count does not decide it; the inverter and any battery do.
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.
