Introduction

The new standards occur from 27th of April 2019 and called Engineering Recommendation (EREC) G98 and G99.

After that day any generators connected to UK distribution will have to comply. These two regulations, published by the Energy Networks Association (ENA), replace the G83/2 and G59/3 respectively.

These new standards are applicable for all new solar, wind, battery storage, CHP and thermal generation plants that are connected to the grid, single phase and three phase installations. The standard also now addresses connection of battery storage (hybrid inverter with energy back up).

VOLTACON Inverters received the new certification.

• Current G83/2 will be replaced with G98 (systems up to 16A per phase)
• Current G59/3 will be replaced with G99 (systems over 16A per phase)

Any older G83/G59 devices (inverters) that are not compliant with G98/G99 will not be legally allowed to be connected to the UK distribution network from May 2019 onwards.
