Connecting embedded generation
Notice to all customers installing generator systems:
When the new systems are ready, once your connection application for embedded generation has been approved by Ausgrid: • as a condition of your customer connection contract, and in accordance with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) DER Register Information Guidelines, you will be required to provide details of any small generating unit at your premises.

An embedded generator is any equipment on your premises that can supply electricity. Embedded generators cover:
- renewable systems (solar panels, wind turbines, hydro-generation)
- battery storage systems
- combustion machines (diesel generator)
- cogeneration and trigeneration.
You need to apply if you want to install embedded generation, even if you are installing a standby generator and don’t intend to export electricity back to the network.
