Shaping Our Electricity Future

As part of the ongoing work to develop Future Arrangements for System Services, SONI and EirGrid have been working with our partners DotEcon and Afry on the development of proposals for suitable future auction arrangements for System Services based on the High-Level Design set out by the SEM Committee (SEM-22-012). The focus of this work has been on the development of daily auction arrangements, initially for reserve services, but with the intention of creating a framework extendable to other system services.

This operational policy roadmap sets out our plan to 2030 to accommodate continued growth in variable, non-synchronous renewable generation. It outlines the context, drivers, timelines, milestones, actions, and stakeholder impacts that are needed in each operational policy area to achieve the ambition of the governments’ decarbonisation targets for the electricity sector.
