The Transmission Development Plan (TDP) is a statutory requirement as set out in EirGrid’s TSO licence and also Irish and EU legislation, which is produced in a two-year cycle. The TDP reports the planned transmission infrastructure projects due to be built or upgraded over a ten-year horizon. The aim of this consultation is to seek feedback from industry and stakeholders on how the TDP going forward can better serve its audience while continuing to fulfil its statutory obligations. The insights received will help inform the revised structure and content for future editions of the TDP.
EirGrid aims to make the TDP more user-centric, effective and a focussed resource in an evolving energy landscape.
EirGrid invites all industry, stakeholders and public to submit their responses on the questions posed regarding the structure of the Transmission Development Plan. The consultation will remain open until 5pm on 31st July 2025.
Q1. What are the main purposes for which you use the TDP? Do you use any other source to obtain the same information?
Q2. The current TDP includes an extensive number of tables with project information. Which of this project information is beneficial to you?
Q3. Would it be beneficial to access this information through the Network Delivery Portfolio (NDP) or another similar database which is updated periodically and available on the EirGrid website?
Q4. In what ways could a greater emphasis on major reinforcement and connection projects with less focus on minor projects enhance the value of the TDP for you?
Q5. Would you like to understand more about EirGrid’s network planning and development approach?
Q6. Do you have any specific comments or suggestions relevant to the proposed refinement of the TDP as outlined in this consultation?
