EirGrid is publishing the draft Transmission Connection Agreement and draft Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement contracts for the offshore Phase 1 Projects for consultation and input from interested parties.
The consultation will be open for an 8-week period from 28 June 2024 to 6 September 2024 inclusive.
The draft Transmission Connection Agreement and draft Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement contracts set out the terms and conditions which EirGrid consider are appropriate to be applied for the connection of Phase 1 Projects to the Irish electricity grid and the transfer of the assets from the Phase 1 Projects to EirGrid once built and in operation for defined period of time.
To achieve Ireland’s climate targets, the offshore Phase 1 Projects will play a vital role in attaining the planned 5 GW of capacity as set out in the Framework for Ireland’s Offshore Electricity Transmission System policy statement prepared by Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and approved by the Irish Government in April 2021.
The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) has since issued regulatory direction for offshore Phase 1, which EirGrid has developed into these draft contract documents. The CRU has directed EirGrid to conduct this public consultation. EirGrid will submit the documentation to the CRU for regulatory approval.
