1 Towards Secure, Economic and Sustainable Energy Ciara Feehely Senior Communications Specialist

2 EirGrid Ireland s Independent Transmission System Operator and Market Operator of the Wholesale Electricity Power Market Commercial state-owned company Separate from all parties in the electricity market Established by statute as TSO and regulated by Commission for Energy Regulation Annual turnover of approximately 300m

3 EirGrid s Role To develop, maintain and operate a safe, secure, reliable, economical and efficient transmission system for the benefit of our customers and stakeholders To deliver quality transmission and market services To advise the Regulator (CER) in relation to security of supply

4 ESB and EirGrid EirGrid is the System Operator ESB Own and operate the distribution system, own the transmission assets EirGrid manages and develops key infrastructural projects and outsources the construction to ESB Networks build and own. Both use consultant engineers (ESBI, PB Power, ABB, etc.) Sometimes require Consultants

5

6 Average Ireland % Fuel Type 2007 Peat 6% Renewables 11% CHP 4% Coal 18% Oil 6% Gas 55%

7 Key Challenges Security of Supply Competitiveness Sustainability Adequacy of the Transmission Grid Essential

8 Importance of Interconnection for European Energy Market

9 East West Interconnector Project

10 Accessing Ireland s Renewable Resources European wind resource map, Source: Riso national laboratory. Purple zones have strongest winds

11 Making it all work Infrastructure Operational Generation Portfolio

12

13 Existing Transmission System 400 kv km 220 kv - 1,830 km 110 kv - 4,000 km

14 Bulk Transmission System 400 kv km 220 kv - 1,830 km

15 Why develop the grid? Platform for Economic Growth Enabler for Regional Development Access to indigenous, renewable resources

16 What we want the Grid to be Safe Reliable Fit for Purpose Future-Proofed Affordable Smart

17 Solution Double capacity of Bulk Transmission System Upgrade 2,300 km of the existing network Constructing 1,150 km of new circuits

18 Solution Minimise new line construction New high capacity lines will be built at 400 kv rather than 220 kv Investment of 4 billion in Ireland s infrastructure

19 Expenditure by Region North-West 750m North-East 300m West 315m South-West 730m Midlands 310m East 800m South-East 830m

20 GRID25 Strategy is essential: To support regional development To ensure reliability & security of supply To utilise Ireland s renewable energy resources To reduce Ireland s carbon emissions To increase Ireland s connectivity to the European Grid To underpin the competitive electricity market

21 Next Steps

22 The Challenge Enormous challenge to Construct the renewable generators Connect them to the grid Reinforce the grid Construct interconnectors Deliver the complementary non-renewable generation portfolio Develop and implement new operational practices Develop and implement market arrangements for energy and ancillary services Review and refine technical standards for renewable and non-renewable generators (Grid Code) and monitor compliance

23 The Challenge

24 Meeting the challenge Engineers Engineers needed to innovate, design, specify, supervise, manage and operate etc. Renewable generators Non-renewable generators Network connections Transmission and distribution infrastructure Submarine interconnections Electrical energy and ancillary service markets Integrated power system Communication and control

25 Experience / Skills Engineering disciplines mainly electrical but consider mechanical and civil for project focused roles. Experience in other utilities or related industries Client relationship management / project management Analysis / problem solving and technical report writing Mainly office based (system modelling, demand forecasting operational side) Knowledge of planning application process Stakeholder management incl political, consultants, etc

26 EirGrid 280 employees (limited potential for growth future roles will be specific) Competitive salaries Top 50 Best Places to Work 2009 Culture encourages innovation, team-working, personal and professional growth Positive work environment EirGrid is an Accredited Company under the EI CPD programme

27 Where to look? Contact us directly Build relationships / network with industry (NOW, IWEA, ESB Networks, ESBI, BGI, etc)
