Generate your own electricity
Consume smartly, produce smartly
The energy generated by solar panels or that is otherwise self-generated is taken up at the point of consumption. If own production is not enough, you need to buy electricity from the grid.
However, if you produce more electricity at the point of consumption than you consume, you can sell the excess electricity to Enefit.
As a small producer, you reduce the energy costs of your home
You are a small producer if the net capacity of your production equipment is up to 1000 kW.
Traditionally, the capacity of the production equipment of a home or business is less than 1 MW. However, if your production unit has a capacity of more than 1 MW, you need to apply to the Competition Board for a license to produce electricity.
Being a small producer
If you sell electricity to Enefit under a small producer contract, the purchase price will be based on the Exchange package, based on Nord Pool power exchange prices minus the margin agreed in the contract. We also advise the small producer to choose the Variable package as a consumer contract package as in such a case both consumption and production take place under similar conditions.
How to produce electricity and sell it as a small producer?
1
Procure the production equipment
The production unit may be a solar panel, a wind turbine, or a generator.
2
Network contract
Sign a network contract and a small producer's subscription agreement.
3
Installment
Enefit will install and configure the equipment to measure the amount of energy consumed and returned to the grid.
4
Small producer energy contract
If you want to sell excess electricity back to the network, we will also sign a small producer energy contract with you.
5
Start production
An energy contract can only be concluded with the energy trader from whom you buy electricity for your own use. If you provide electricity to the network without an energy contract, the network operator will accept it for free. Upon termination of the electricity consumption contract with the energy trader, the energy contract will also terminate.
