Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Mr. Jim Gannon:

It is a fair question to ask. On our response, we are awaiting an incident report from ESB Networks regarding the transformer error. Part of that is to understand whether it is a systemic issue and ascertain whether there are other transformers that may be on the system with this risk profile in order to prevent it happening again.

On the large energy user, LEU, rebalancing process, again the administrative error was picked up, though it was picked up late.
