Kevin Magnussen will run Renault's upgraded Formula 1 power unit for this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix, Autosport has learned.
The French manufacturer gave the new engine its debut over the two days of last week's Barcelona test.
Feedback from both Magnussen and reserve Esteban Ocon, along with Red Bull pair Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen, was extremely positive in terms of performance and driveability.
Renault then made the decision to run the system in Monaco this weekend - one race earlier than originally planned - but due to a shortage of parts it was determined only one driver per team would be able to have the new engine.
Renault has decided Magnussen will have first call over team-mate Jolyon Palmer for F1's blue-riband event around the streets of the principality.
Autosport understands the expected laptime gain for the shortest track on the F1 calendar will be around 0.2 seconds.
For the following race in Canada, where all four drivers will be able to use the system, and for other such power tracks, the improvement is anticipated to be 0.5s.
Red Bull has yet to confirm which of its drivers will have the advantage for this weekend.

Jose Mourinho in shock talks with Paris Saint-Germain.
Manchester United has been heavily linked with the former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, but the Manchester based club might loose out to the French giant Paris Saint-Germain.
After two woeful season under Louis van Gaal, Manchester United might just be ready to show him the exit door this season.
After series of links to the Portuguese, they may just loose out.
Morinho whom has been unemployed since last year December needs the deal done next week or he might just be considering the enticing job in the French capital.
Laurent Blanc seemed to be comfortable until the ouster from the champions league quarter finals by Manchester City.
Jose Mourinho has managed top clubs all around Europe, but is yet to take a job in France...
2000: Benfica
2001–2002: Uniao de Leiria
2002–2004: Porto
2004–2007: Chelsea
2008–2010: Inter Milan
2010–2013: Real Madrid
2013–2015: Chelsea
2016 onwards: ?????
With the huge transfer policy at PSG Mourinho whom has always been about getting the big players for result might just be heading to the France direction.
In addition, the interest of searching for a new Challenge might just be an added motivation.
Bomb scare at Manchester leads to postponement of final match.
Stands at Old Trafford dramatically evacuated after 'code red' alert because of 'incredibly lifelike explosive device'
Mobile phone attached to wiring said to have been discovered in toilets during Manchester United's final-day clash
Match was postponed for 45 minutes but staff later abandoned game altogether, sending away thousands of fans
Police and sniffer dogs deployed to ground, which has capacity for 76,000, and a controlled explosion carried out
Sportsmail understands the scare was caused by a dummy device left in a toilet by mistake after a training exercise
Greater Manchester Police assistant chief constable John O'Hare later confirmed to Sportsmail's
Manchester United had to abandon Sunday’s Premier League clash with Bournemouth because a dummy bomb was left in the stadium by mistake after a training exercise.
Old Trafford was evacuated after a mobile phone was found strapped to piping. The match, which was being broadcast on Sky Sports, was postponed before a bomb disposal unit carried out a controlled explosion.
The results of the explosion showed the device was actually a mock-up, described by police as ‘incredibly lifelike’.
In what appears to be a staggering blunder, the ‘bomb’ was left at the stadium in error by an external training company in the days leading up to the game. A training exercise was held at the venue and the device, designed to look authentic, was not returned at its conclusion.
The match will be replayed at 8pm on Tuesday night and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
One security official, who saw the device, said: ‘It certainly did not look like something you would want to mess with.’

Bomb experts were sent to the Manchester stadium to investigate what was later found to be a dummy explosive device
The Sky Sports team which was working inside the ground were also told to evacuate and had to broadcast some of the programme outside. The pundits are seen above reporting from outside Old Trafford while the bomb disposal van arrives at the 76,000-seater stadium
GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE CONFIRM to Sportsmail
'I am grateful to the Manchester United and Bournemouth supporters for their support and assistance today.
'Following today’s controlled explosion, we have since found out that the item was a training device which had accidentally been left by a private company following a training exercise involving explosive search dogs.
'Whilst this item did not turn out to be a viable explosive, on appearance this device was as real as could be, and the decision to evacuate the stadium was the right thing to do, until we could be sure that people were not at risk.
'Everyone remained calm, followed instructions, and worked with officers and stewards to ensure that a safe evacuation was quickly completed. Those present today were a credit to the football family and their actions should be recognised.
'I would also like to thank all those involved in the operation today for such a professional response, which includes police officers, stewards, MUFC staff, media representatives and commentators and the Bomb Disposal Team.'
Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable John O'Hare
The Premier League felt abandoning the fixture had been the right course of action after discussions with both clubs and the police.
‘When it comes to matters of security it is obviously right that Manchester United and the Premier League place the safety of supporters and employees foremost,’ the League said in a statement.
‘It is always the last resort to abandon one of our fixtures and while we apologise for the inconvenience caused to fans we are sure, in the circumstances, they will appreciate the need to do so.’

Man city V arsenal the preview.
The arsenal storms the etihad with an impressive record of eight unbeaten matches, on the other hand, their opponent has failed to win two straight matches in the course of the season. With injuries to mertesacka, oxlade chamberlain and kalum chambers for the arsenal and zabaleta, company and silver out for the citizens. The match seem to be delicately poised putting into cognizance the revered price of the champions league qualification at stake. A win for arsenal today will cement their third position and with second position in sight. For the citizens, for a woeful canpaign, a forth position will not be bad. Since their hopes of an automatic qualification has been dashed by Madrid, we all should expect an all attacking side. Do u know? Man city has lost 23 times to the arsenal in the premier league more than any other side in the competition, man city victory over arsenal in percentage is 16% less than any other side in the competition. In as much as history favors the arsenal, arsenal can't help but be wary of the inform kelvin de bruyne and the dreaded aguero. The question of all arsenal fans will be, what kind or part of ozil will turn up? As we all know, an inform ozil is an inform and a blistering arsenal. What team has got the day? 90+ minutes shall tell.
