Summary
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is an obligation set by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for licensed electricity Suppliers to offer a tariff to small-scale low-carbon Generators and make payments directly for exported electricity. The SEG came into force on 1 January 2020 and introduced the need to register and settle Export Meter Point Administration Numbers (MPANs), in accordance with the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) arrangements, for generators with capacity up to 5 Megawatts (MW). There are a number of scenarios arising which question whether these existing processes established for the import market are fit for purpose for the export market and for the use of shared smart Meters. The REC should allow for registration of export at smaller scale generation (i.e. below 30kW) to ensure that the SEG scheme is workable and therefore the issue with MEM appointment for SEG sites needs to be investigated.
