Dr. Tanya Harrington:

I will make two comments on two aspects referenced. The PSO charge this year is set at €162.37 million for 2025 to 2026. This is a decrease of €89.42 million on the PSO levy for last year. For a domestic customer, this will mean a drop from, on average, €3.23 per month to €2.01 per month. This levy helps us fund renewable energy and that is regulated. The second one that is of concern is network imperfection charges. These charges have grown substantially. The figure this year is €790.24 million after the SEM committee had disallowed €93 million from the original forecast by the TSO. Imperfections are the technical and operational deviations and inefficiencies that occurred to the physical limits of the grid. That is of concern. There are a number of mitigants we can consider to address that such as enhanced grid delivery, in particular the North-South interconnector; an action plan on dispatched earn for renewable energy; more network investment; and reviewing and refining bidding rules into the market.
