DCRP/MP/24/05: EREC G99 SAF v11
What is being proposed
The Standard Application Form (SAF) is a formal document used for applying to connect Power Generating Modules—such as solar, wind, battery storage, and other electricity generation technologies—to the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) networks in the UK. It is used in accordance with Engineering Recommendation (EREC) G99, which governs such connections.This form is intended for Generators (customers developing or modifying generation facilities) whose equipment exceeds 16 A per phase and falls under the scope of G99. It covers a wide range of generation sizes and types, specifically:

Analysis
The Standard Application Form (SAF) v11 for EREC G99 connections updates the formal document used to apply for connecting power generating modules exceeding 16A per phase to distribution networks. The form covers solar, wind, battery storage, and other generation technologies connecting under G99 requirements. This appears to be a routine version update to existing connection application procedures.
Why it matters
This is administrative maintenance of existing connection processes rather than reform. The form itself does not change the underlying connection rules, charges, or approval mechanisms that determine what can be built or connected.
