Can I change my TNUoS charge by reducing my site’s capacity (kVA)?

TNUoS charges are set using your site’s registered connection capacity, measured in kVA. That’s the capacity recorded by the network, not your day-to-day usage.

If that number is wrong - for example, because your site was over-specified years ago or your operations have changed - it’s worth checking. We can confirm what capacity is currently on record and sense-check it against how your site actually runs.

If the recorded capacity is correct, reducing it isn’t something a supplier can change unilaterally. Any formal reduction has to go through your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
