EirGrid plc Annual Report & Accounts 2011 Public Consultation Public consultation is an important feature and enabler of large infrastructure development, such as transmission projects required in Ireland under the Grid25 programme. With input from consultation experts and stakeholders, EirGrid has devised a new Public Consultation Project Development Road Map, aimed at best practice in project development combined with the facilitation of meaningful, constructive engagement and dialogue with all stakeholders and members of the public. EirGrid continues to engage with stakeholders and the public on its project proposals through a wide variety of means including bulletins, advertising, mail shots and open days as well as direct engagement with public and landowners. The Public Consultation Road Map will set out clearly how and by what means members of the public can participate in the project development process, and is aimed at making participation as convenient as possible for all parties. Gate 3 and Grid Access June 2011 saw the completion on schedule of the Gate 3 round of connection offers, which involved the making of offers to approximately 4,000 MW of renewable generation and approximately 1,500 MW of conventional generation. This 2-year programme involved EirGrid and ESB Networks Ltd (the Distribution System Operator) working closely together with CER, generation developers and other parties. A strong feature of the project was regular, structured communication, delivered through an industry Liaison Group, regular bulletins, workshops and meeting with sub-groups and individual developers Further Interconnection and Off-Shore Grid Development In addition to the development of the East West Interconnector, EirGrid is investigating the case for further interconnection, and is participating intensively in international initiatives investigating the potential development of a North Seas Grid. Initiatives in which EirGrid is involved include: • Participation in ENTSO-E on the development of a North-Sea Regional Plan, which will input to the European Ten-Year Network Development Plan. The North Sea Regional Group comprises ten TSOs; EirGrid is one of three TSOs carrying out economic modelling of the North Seas Region in support of regional planning; • Participation in the member-state led North Seas Countries Offshore Grid Initiative (NSCOGI). EirGrid is carrying out the network modelling work for the NSCOGI initiative; • Further refinement of the case, cost, size and timing of further interconnection from Ireland to UK or France. EirGrid is currently completing a series of studies with RTE, the Transmission System Operator in France. 29
