Connected and Contracted Generators
Connected and Contracted Generators
The following documents provide statistical information on all generators currently connected or contracted for connection to the transmission and distribution systems. Please note that these documents are updated on a quarterly basis.
The documents are split into two (2) groups:
- Wind Farms
- Other Types of Generators
Data is collated from both transmission (EirGrid) and distribution (ESB Networks) sources. Please note that while every effort is made to ensure that the connected and contracted information is correct at the time of posting, it is subject to regular change.
