Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission from my Distribution Network Operator (DNO)?
Most 7kW domestic installs require notifying the DNO within 28 days. Properties with older supplies or multiple chargers may need pre-approval, which your electrician will manage.
Can I install a charger if I have a limited main fuse?
Yes. Electricians can fit load curtailment devices or request an uprated supply from NIE Networks. They will advise based on the survey.
Are grants available in Northern Ireland?
Home grants currently do not apply, but OZEV workplace and infrastructure grants are available for commercial sites meeting eligibility criteria.
