@rachel@norfolk.social Domestic generation enters the grid in the delivery networks, outside of NESO’s purview. They’re only counting what’s metered from big solar farms onto the core grid. I guess it’s seen in a way, however, by the reduction in load that we domestic generators present.

@christineburns@mastodon.green @rachel@norfolk.social Based on some toots by other people yesterday, I was very firmly left with the impression that the 15-ish GW figure *does* include some (most?) domestic solar PV generation. There's more info at https://www.solar.sheffield.ac.uk/pvlive/ (who report the same solar data as NESO) and if you drill down into their 'capacity' info they say they're counting 1,416,083 installations of 4, <10kWp etc. I believe these numbers come from the forms sent to the DNOs by installers.
