If you are 50kW or less  - appointing NIE Energy to act as your Agent (Recommended)

 

NIE Energy can help Renewable Generation customers with the Ofgem process and act as an agent on your behalf in relation to dealings with Ofgem*. Appointing NIE Energy as an Agent on your behalf will allow us to:

• Assist with your Ofgem application
• Deal with any queries from Ofgem relating to your application
• Act in an administrative capacity
• Pay you based on each kWh of generation

This should make the process more straightforward for you.
*Please note we are unable to act as an Agent if your generating station is over 50kW

If you wish to appoint NIE Energy to act on your behalf as an Agent you will need to complete both the appointment form below from Section B onwards along with an appointment covering letter (An example of a covering letter is shown below) and return to the following address:

Renewables Administrator (Ref: Agent Authorisation)
Environmental Programmes
Ofgem

Application Process:

If you appoint NIE Energy to act as an Agent on your behalf you must complete Section B of the NIE Energy Generation Export and Ofgem application form. The appropriate form can be found on the main NIE Energy Generation Tariff page.

Return the completed application to us, together with a schematic diagram to the address on the form and we will submit your documentation to Ofgem

You will need to have a suitable meter installed to measure generation. If you do not have a suitable meter you should contact your installer who can arrange this for you. If you already have a generation meter installed please click here to ensure it is Ofgem approved ( PDF document).

Receiving payment for ROCs

NIE Energy will require you to read this meter on a set date each year (31st March) and submit the reading to NIE Energy. NIE Energy will send all aggregated Agent readings to Ofgem.  NIROCs will be placed directly into an NIE Energy NIROC account. NIE Energy will then arrange a bank transfer for the appropriate amount (Usually July).

The current Agent ROC price for 07/08 is:
