Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

The transmission system operator, Eirgrid, is responsible for managing the balance between supply and demand on an ongoing basis. It is not a role for us in ESB Networks. Regarding generators, the generator providers and the likes of Eirgrid would probably be able to comment best on that? We in ESB Networks manage and operate the electricity distribution system. We build the transmission system too but we are not involved in day-to-day management of the supply-demand balance.
