  • An Introduction to Electricity North West About This Guide
    An introduction to Electricity North West About this guide This guide provides a short, easy to read introduction to Electricity North West and our role in managing the electricity distribution network. The guide is aimed at anyone with an interest in the workings of the electricity distribution industry, including individuals and communities thinking about setting up their own local energy projects.

  • Notice of Rights
    Metered Connections GSoPs Metered Connections Guaranteed Standards of Service for Electricity Distribution Companies in England, Wales & Scotland May 2018 Page 1 of 9 Metered Connections GSoPs Introduction This guide sets out the guaranteed standards for metered demand and generation connection services provided by your electricity distribution company, which owns the electricity wires and cables by which electricity is supplied to your premises. Distributors are not responsible for meter reading or billing – your supplier does this. In this document the electricity distribution company is referred to as “we” and “us”. This guide summarises the Electricity (Connection Standards of Performance) Regulations 2015 No.698 (in relation to metered demand connections) and the Direction under Distribution Licence Condition 15A (in relation to generation connections). Ofgem, the industry regulator, sets the guaranteed standards. If we fail to meet these standards you (“you” being a domestic or non-domestic customer) are entitled to receive a payment. Sometimes the guaranteed standards may not apply including under exceptional circumstances, events beyond our control, industrial action, actions of third parties or not being able to gain access to premises. If any of these exemptions are invoked, we will need to demonstrate that we had taken all reasonable steps to prevent the circumstances occurring and to prevent failure. These standards do not apply: a) Where some of the connections work is to be carried out by an independent connections provider. Separate service standards and compensation arrangements apply for the aspects we undertake and b) Where reinforcement is required due to the installation of approved equipment (such as small-scale generation) at domestic premises or small businesses where no modification to the physical connection is required and no connection charge is made.
