The G99 Connection Procedures Guidance Document for Western Power Distribution serves to outline the necessary steps for connecting a Power Generating Module (PGM) to the distribution network. The document details the specific requirements and technical criteria that must be met to ensure compliance with Engineering Recommendation G99. It is crucial for developers, generators, and installers to complete and understand this document to facilitate a smooth connection process.

• 1. Customer: The owner or occupier connected to the distribution network.
• 2. Connection Agreement: A contract specifying technical requirements for the Power Generating Module.
• 3. Connection Point(s): The interface where the installation connects to the network.
• 4. Distribution Network: Network for distributing electrical power.
• 5. Electricity Act: Relevant legislation governing electricity generation and distribution.
• 6. Energisation Operational Notification (EON): Notification prior to energisation of the internal network.
• 7. Final Operational Notification (FON): Notification allowing operation of the Power Generating Module.
• 8. Generator: Person generating electricity and complying with relevant legislation.
• 9. Generating Unit: Part of an installation that generates electricity.
• 10. Installer: Person responsible for installing the Power Generating Modules.
• 11. Integrated Micro Power Generation and Storage: Modules that include generation and storage without electricity storage devices.
• 12. Interim Operational Notification (ION): Notification acknowledging compliance except for unresolved issues.
• 13. Limited Operational Notification (LON): Temporary notification for generators with modifications or non-compliance.
• 14. Micro-generator: Small source of electrical energy designed to operate in parallel with the public distribution network.
• 15. Modification: Any change or construction to a Power Generating Module.
• 16. Power Generating Facility (PGF): A source of electrical energy connected to a network.
• 17. Power Generating Module (PGM): A source of electrical energy, including storage devices.
• 18. Power Generating Module Document (PGMD): Document demonstrating compliance with technical criteria.
• 19. Power Park Module (PPM): Generating units connected through power electronics or asynchronously.
• 20. Synchronous Power Generator (SPGM): Indivisible generating units running in synchronism.
• 21. Type A: PGM with a capacity of 0.8 kW or greater but less than 1 MW.
• 22. Type B: PGM with a capacity of 1 MW or greater but less than 10 MW.
• 23. Type C: PGM with a capacity of 10 MW or greater but less than 50 MW.
• 24. Type D: PGM with a capacity of 50 MW or greater or connected at 110 kV or higher.
• 25. Type Tested: Products tested and meeting EREC G99 standards.

If the form is not submitted, connection to the distribution network cannot proceed. The failure to submit could result in project delays and potential non-compliance with legal requirements.

• Project Delays: Failure to submit the form can delay the entire project timeline.
• Non-compliance: Missing submission may lead to non-compliance with Engineering Recommendation G99.
• Operational Issues: Without submission, the generation equipment cannot be properly connected or operated.

• 1. New Connections: For new Power Generating Module installations needing connection to the network.
• 2. Modifications: For existing installations undergoing changes or upgrades.
• 3. Compliance Checks: To ensure ongoing compliance with EREC G99 requirements.
• 4. Re-certifications: For installations seeking re-certification and updated operational notifications.
• 5. Regulatory Submissions: To fulfill regulatory and legal obligations under the Electricity Act.
