what is the smart export guarantee?
Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) So Energy can pay you for any electricity you export to the grid from your own renewable generator. You don't need to buy electricity from So Energy to benefit from SEG - anyone generating renewable energy is welcome to take up one of our plans.
here's how to be eligible
Our export tariffs are available to anyone who has installed one of the following technologies:
- Solar (also known as Solar Photovoltaic or Solar PV)
- Wind
- Micro Combined Heat and Power (Micro-CHP)
- Hydroelectric (also know as Hydro)
- Anaerobic Digestion (also known as AD)
With the exception of Micro-CHP, your generator can have a capacity of up to 5 Megawatts (5MW, or roughly the same amount of electricity it takes to power a typical household for 1.7 years).

Provide More Information
We need to check if your generator is receiving both FIT export and SEG payments. If your generator doesn't have an existing Export MPAN, we will request to register one with your local DNO. This process may take up to 5 working days.
