Who runs the grid in West Byfleet, Sheerwater and New Haw
UK Power Networks owns and runs the local electricity network in West Byfleet, Sheerwater and New Haw, as part of its South East England licence area.
For a typical home the paperwork is light: a system of up to 3.68kW per phase goes through G98, which means UK Power Networks is notified within 28 days of switch-on rather than asked beforehand.
A bigger inverter or battery output needs a G99 application in advance. Ofgem's guaranteed standard for a low voltage generation connection quotation is 45 working days, with £80 paid for each working day late, and it binds UK Power Networks as it does every network operator.
