What is NERS (National Electricity Registration Scheme)?

The National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) is managed by Lloyd’s Register on behalf of UK Distribution Network Operators. It certifies Independent Connection Providers (ICPs) to carry out contestable works on electricity networks, including design, construction, and commissioning of new connections. NERS accreditation is essential for ICPs seeking to work on low- and high-voltage infrastructure under competition in connections regulations.

Learn more about the official scheme on the NERS Accreditation page at LRQA.
