The consultation

The All-Island System Services Supplier Charge Consultation details the proposed design of the Charge to recover the costs of payments to providers for system services procured under the FASS markets across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. These services are vital for maintaining grid stability and supporting EirGrid and SONI’s commitment to integrate up to 80% renewable energy into the electricity supply by 2030.
