I suppose the Senator is referring to where wind power is not available because of curtailment and constraint and is not sold into the market but generated and spilt. Maybe EirGrid will come in, but my understanding is it is a physical constraint. It is not traded because the grid cannot take it. The grid is central and key.

As to how EnergyCloud works, I am not familiar with the specifics of overcoming the physical grid constraints. There has been much innovation by EirGrid regarding carrying more on existing wires but I am not familiar with that particular proposal. Maybe Dr. Ryan-----
