Eirgrid and SONI, the joint system operators of the electricity market in Ireland
The joint system operators of the electricity market in Ireland, have today announced the outcome of the first transitional auction for capacity in the new Integrated Single Electricity Market (“I-SEM”)
Viridian continues to believe the Huntstown plants are critical to the security of electricity supply in the Dublin area and has had a number of constructive interactions with the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (“CRU”); and has commenced discussions with EirGrid. However, meaningful substantive engagement will be required to find a timely solution for the Huntstown plants.
The CRU have issued an information paper that contemplates putting in place Transmission Reserve Contracts to meet local security of supply issues and Viridian remains firmly committed to playing its part in urgently progressing discussions to resolve this issue.
A further update will be provided to holders of the Notes at the appropriate time.
