Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion
Dr. Aoife O'Grady:
The regulation of the cost of the network is done by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities. It manages that at the moment. At the moment, the electricity market does not have regulated costs. It is based on competition. The roll-out of the network will be done in conjunction with ourselves, as we move to set up ZEVI, and ESB Networks. ESB Networks is part of that group and sits on the assurance board. There a good deal of governance within that office. It sits on all levels of the governance. We will be working closely with ESB Networks. It has asked us to work with the local authorities and the people who apply for destination chargers, for example, to get a sense of the map of EV infrastructure demands. We work with it to prioritise that in term of grid access and grid connections.
