Project Manager for the Detailed Design and Implementation of I-SEM
Since 1.11.2007 there has been an all-island wholesale electricity market in operation, covering Ireland and Northern Ireland, known as the Single Electricity Market (SEM). The SEM is a centralised mandatory pool market in which all key electricity generators and suppliers must participate. Further information on the SEM, including various regulatory documents referenced in this Request for Tenders, can be found at
http://www.allislandproject.org/
The SEM is regulated jointly by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) in Dublin and the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation (or Utility Regulator) in Belfast, known as the Regulatory Authorities or RAs. The decision-making body which governs the market is the SEM Committee, consisting of the CER, the Utility Regulator as well as an independent member (who also has a deputy), with each entity having one vote.
The SEM is to undergo radical transformation arising from changes to European legislation designed to create a single wholesale electricity market across Europe. The new market design developed by the SEM Committee will result in what has been named an Integrated SEM (I-SEM) which will more fully facilitate coupling with the electricity market in the rest of Europe.
The RAs commenced the I-SEM project in 2010. The project is split into a number of phases with the current phase being Phase 3.
The RAs are now seeking a Project Manager to assist with delivery of Phase 3 of the I-SEM project, as set-out in this contract notice. The contract will run from 1.12.2014 to end December 2016, with an option to renew by a maximum of up to 12 months if needed, as a contingency. It is anticipated that this role will be full-time in nature: the indicative requirement is for 220 working days on an annual basis, for 25 months, with monthly contract management and reporting arrangements on specific tasks.
