New supply meter

[Exfarmer]

I have some panels on a farm roof, where the farmer is hoping to have a new upgraded supply very shortly, which will supply new grain stores etc.
In the discussions the builder has suggested and UKPN agree resiting the meter would be useful.
Of course this poses issues, we are not allowed to change the Mpan meter the panels are connected too.
Having read through all the rules regarding these meters I can see nothing stopping the meter being issued the same number as the last, in fact it would appear that more than one meter on the same site can have the same Mpan.
Has anyone else had this issue and has it been resolved in that way?

A change in supply capacity will always generate a new MPAN number.

I didn’t have an issue with building an array on an MPAN, upgrading new supply with new supply meter and MPAN then registering a new extension array on the new MPAN. Both arrays still claim.

who told you you were constrained and what was the conditions?

I understood that the array is tied to the Mpan meter and any change would invalidate the FITs.
putting a new meter with a different Mpan would surely revoke the entitlement

No, the only thing paramount is no extra panels added and if the generation meter is changed, it’s updated with fit payee or Ofgem.

a few sites of mine have had upgrades from increase in supply with new meter and new sub stations built. Doesn’t affect FiT at all just don’t add panels.

Thanks for this, there will definitely be no new panels added to the existing array, but the owner is hoping we will add some more and do a PPA. Not sure how we will seperate the existing exports and the new.

It’s probably work out better if not the same releasing the gifted deemed export and lumping all export on ppa market place.
