In the instance of a green field/stand alone application for a new connection where the MIC
(Maximum Import Capacity) exceeds 150kVA, the customer will be required to provide a
substation building on site.
In the instance of a request for new/increased MIC in an existing development a substation
building may be required. Please check with local office prior to making application.
Where a substation building is required, electronic maps and paper copies of same should
accompany all new applications.
Email: developmentmaps@esb.ie
Applicants for a unit in an existing development should contact the developer/builder/management company for the MPRN, and contact your supplier of choice for registration of the
MPRN. You will need to contact ESB Networks Ltd. if the MIC for the unit concerned differs
from your requirements. Please complete this application form (NC3) for any change in MIC.
Splitting existing units into further units requires completion of this application form (NC3) in
total including electronic/paper maps.
Email: developmentmaps@esb.ie
ESB Networks Ltd. assigns a DUoS charge which is dependant on the MIC requested.
Please see website for further info:
http://www.esb.ie/esbnetworks/downloads/description_duos_mcc.pdf
15kVA to 49kVA connections receive DUoS group DG5.
Connections in excess of 49kVA Low Voltage receive DUoS group DG6.
All MV Connections receive DUoS group DG7/DG8
Maximum Import
Capacity (MIC)
What is it?
We offer customers a Connection designed around a specified capacity. The capacity of your
connection is the total electrical loading for which your connection is designed. Capacity is
measured in kilovolt-amps (kVA). A kilovolt-amp is similar to a kilowatt. The capacity level for customers is described as the Maximum Import Capacity (MIC).
Business customers agree a level with ESB Networks Ltd. according to their specific requirements.
Why is it important?
When applying for a connection, the most important decision is the capacity level you require.
The capacity of your connection – Maximum Import Capacity – is an important figure for several
reasons:
•
This is the capacity that ESB Networks Ltd. commits itself to maintain available to your
premises at the connection point.
•
The MIC places an upper limit on the total electrical load you can use in your premises.
•
The MIC is a determinant of connection and on-going charges. For a detailed breakdown
of these charges refer to ESB Networks Ltd. Website www.esb.ie/networks.
How to estimate your capacity requirement
Ultimately each customer must choose the capacity which meets his/her needs. It will most likely
be a much lower quantity than the sum of kilowatt ratings of all the equipment you plan to install.
You may wish to discuss your required MIC further with your electrical contractor/consultant.
