As part of the flexible exports launch on 1 July 2026, we’re increasing the capacity thresholds within the Model Standing Offer (MSO).
The MSO is the contract we have with customers who install micro embedded generators, such as rooftop solar, batteries, and other small-scale energy systems commonly found in homes.
This update will allow more customers to participate in flexible exports and reduce the number of residential and small business customers who require a generator agreement, further simplifying the process.
Current MSO thresholds
| Connection point arrangement | Maximum system capacity | Maximum export capability |
|---|---|---|
| Single phase | 10 kVA | 5kW |
| Single phase - 3 wire | 5 kVA per active 10 kVA in total | 2.5 kW per active 5 kW in total |
| Single wire earth return (SWER) | 5 kVA | 5 kW |
| Three phase | 30 kVA | 15 kW |
MSO thresholds as of 1 July 2026
| Connection point arrangement | Maximum system capacity | Maximum export capability | Low static export limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single phase | 5 - 30 kVA | 5 kW | 0 W |
| Two phase | 10 - 30 kVA | 5 kW per phase 10 kW in total | 0 W |
| Three phase | 15 - 30 kVA | 5 kW per phase 15 kW in total | 0 W |
It’s the installers responsibility to ensure the site is suitably rated for the maximum export capacity.
The new thresholds can be found here LV EG Network Access Standard – Capacity up to 200kVA.
