ECP-2.4 IE Battery List

This report contains the list of applicants that will be processed under Category A as part of the 2024 ECP2.5 batch following payment of the balance of application fees to the relevant SO. As per the decision paper, the first 25 projectsin category A were selected on the basis of renewable output, with the projects having the largest volume of renewable GWhrs/yr generated being granted the highest priority. The subsequent 40 projects were selected in order of planning permission grant date. There is a cap of 10 storage and other system service technology projects in each ECP-2 batch.

Voltage Fault Ride -Through (VFRT) is defined as the ability of a unit to stay connected to the electrical grid during and following a fault disturbance. With the increasing level of Inverter Based Resource (IBR) / Power Electronics (PE) generation, the power system dynamics are also changing due to the decreasing governor response and less synchronous inertia while creating a negative impact on frequency and voltage stability of the grid.

A Draft Collaboration Agreement is proposed between EirGrid and the winner of the auction process. The purpose of the Collaboration Agreement is to encourage and facilitate cooperation and collaboration between EirGrid and the ORESS Tonn Nua auction winner in delivering the overall project. Whilst EirGrid has endeavoured to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the Draft Collaboration Agreement it must be noted that it is a draft, is for information purposes only and is subject to change.

The Grid Connection Information Pack (version 1) is being issued to all prospective bidders of ORESS Tonn Nua. Once confirmed at a later date, a revised document (version 2) will issue that contains both the associated Offshore Generator Transmission Use of System (“OG-TUoS”) charges, as well as any associated asset cost
