Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion

Mr. Michael Mahon:

The target we have set out for ECP 2.3 is to conclude all offers by the end of March. We are on track for that and intend to achieve it. ECP 2.4 will commence after that process ends. That is the timeline we have set out for the industry. We have given estimated times to it. We have highlighted to the industry that we are concentrating on the more complex projects because we are trying to connect all of them to the system. In addition, we are processing many of the connection offers on the distribution system. We are on track to meet the targets we have set out and outlined to the industry and CRU.
