Short description:
The scope of the proposed study includes an assessment of:
• The impact, including economic and climate rationale, for developing further interconnection beyond the proposed Celtic and Greenlink interconnectors, on achieving Ireland’s 2030 and post 2030 climate and energy objectives.
• The extent to which clear signalling by Government on delivery of future interconnection capacity would impact delivery of 80% renewable electricity, including 5 GW of ORE, by 2030, and the longer-term objective of achieving net zero by 2050.
• To include consideration of the impact of further interconnection on de-risking renewables development, system operation and security of supply, in the context of Ireland’s energy and climate objectives.
• The extent to which further interconnection can contribute to the decarbonisation of Irish power generation and electricity consumed in Ireland, by replacing domestic fossil fuel generation.
• The impact of further interconnection on total power system costs.
• Consideration of the optimal countries/markets for Ireland to interconnect with, and whether priority should be placed on developing further interconnection with Great Britain or the EU IEM.
