Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

2:00 am

Dr. Tanya Harrington:

I will take the Deputy through some of the things we have done on the wholesale side. The single electricity market is an all-island electricity market chaired by the SEM committee. In a number of our decisions, we have reduced down the figures that have been asked for by the system operators. I will bring the Deputy back to the PSO decision. It is a decrease of €89.42 million on last year. In the network imperfections costs, we refused a figure of €93 million from what was originally requested. That is where we use our powers as a regulator to put downward pressure on what we think is not appropriate for a reasonable outcome for the market. We do that to the greatest extent we can. That is on the wholesale side.
