Transmission Forecast Statement 2011-2017
EirGrid is pleased to announce the publication of Transmission Forecast Statement 2011-2017, prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 38 of the Electricity Regulation Act, 1999.
The Transmission Forecast Statement includes a comprehensive set of maps, diagrams and data describing the technical and topological characteristics of the existing high voltage power system. It also describes how Ireland's electricity infrastructure will be developed over the seven year period covered by the statement.
The document contains information that will assist developers considering connections to the grid and will enable users to undertake their own power flow analyses, if desired. The Transmission Forecast Statement highlights opportunities for the connection of demand at 31 points on the grid. The locations were selected to closely match the needs of our customers. The information regarding opportunity at the point closest to a demand site being considered by a developer provides an indication of the capability of the grid to facilitate the proposed connection. EirGrid advises developers to approach EirGrid directly to discuss their requirements as early as possible in the development cycle.
The document presents the opportunities for generator connections identified through the Gate 3 process and outlines the generation opportunities arising from EirGrid’s grid development strategy, GRID25.
