Low carbon technologies refers to electric car chargers and heat pumps. Wind, solar panels and other renewable sources are explained in the generation section.
Electric vehicles and heat pumps have a strategic role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and are a key component of the transition to a low carbon economy. NIE Networks support this transition and are investing in our networks to ensure that we can safely and reliably meet the increase in electricity demand required to support these technologies.
We recognise that customers are transitioning to low carbon technologies and our goal is to make the process as effortless as possible. If your electricity supply is sufficient to cope with the additional load your Installer can submit an application for approval to connect via ENA Connect Direct.
