EirGrid Publishes the All-Island Ten Year Transmission Forecast Statement 2019
EirGrid along with our colleagues at SONI (Electricity System Operator for Northern Ireland) have published the All-Island Ten Year Transmission Forecast Statement 2019.
The joint publication describes and presents the following;
- Network models and data for the all-island transmission system;
- Forecast generation capacity and demand growth;
- Predicted transmission system power flows at different points in time.
In order to meet targets set by the government’s Climate Action Plan 2019, investment will be needed in new renewable generation capacity and electricity networks. The transition to low-carbon and renewable energy will have widespread consequences, requiring a significant transformation of the electricity system.
The Transmission Forecast Statement outlines the opportunities for demand and generation connections in Ireland.
The teams at both EirGrid and SONI, encourage and welcome those considering connections or who wish to submit any feedback, to contact either info@eirgrid.com or info@soni.ltd.uk.
