How CEG Payments Work with Yuno Energy
- Your installer notifies ESB Networks (NC6 form) to register your inverter as a microgenerator. Yuno Energy cannot pay CEG until ESBN approves this.
- You register with Yuno Energy via their app, account portal or customer service, including MPRN, NC6 confirmation and IBAN.
- Your smart meter records imports and exports half-hourly, with readings flowing to Yuno Energy automatically.
- CEG payment lands twice yearly as a bill credit (or cash payout where supported).
- Subsequent payments are automatic unless you change supplier or move house.
