1 Submit Your Documents

If you’re eligible, complete our online form and have these documents ready: MCS certificate or equivalent, G59/G83/G98/G99 form and response and proof of generator ownership.

We need to check if your generator is receiving both FIT export and SEG payments. If your generator doesn't have an existing Export MPAN, we will request to register one with your local DNO. This process may take up to 5 working days.

Once these steps have been completed, we will contact you and get you registered. You will then receive a confirmation email containing details of your 'SEG Plan'.
