Generation Application Platform
This platform allows municipal customers and installers to submit embedded generation applications to participating municipalities. This platform only covers applications below 1000kVA (i.e. small scale systems). A list of participating municipalities can be found here.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are many advantages to using the platform, such as:
- Fewer mistakes and omissions in applications submitted (automatic error checking)
- Warns applicants where systems are likely to be disallowed by the municipality because parameters (such as system size) are exceeded
- Quicker assessments for municipal staff (does the calculations automatically and warns where parameters are out of bounds)
- Automatic communication between applicants and municipal staff around status of the application
- GIS views of all approved SSEG systems - helps identify congestion on networks
- Visual dashboards showing total number of systems, MW approved, applications awaiting approval etc
- Automatic application database downloadable by municipalities (e.g for local records and submission to regulator)
The site is POPI compliant, and personal information entered by an applicant is treated accordingly. The SSEG database is also backed up and secured, in addition to being downloadable in excel format by the municipality. The details of the data privacy and data security protocols can be found via the link at the bottom of each page, as shown below.
