Embedded generation
Electricity generation that is connected close to the user's site or distribution network, often for own use, supply, or project-specific offtake arrangements.
Definition
Embedded generation questions should be checked against project size, technology, site ownership, grid connection, municipal or Eskom interface, NERSA registration or licensing route, power purchase terms, wheeling, environmental approvals, and current exemptions. The route depends on current rules and project documents, so the factual project profile matters.
