2025 Standard Transmission Charges

In May 2009 the CER (Commission for Energy Regulation) published a decision paper on Standard Transmission Charges and Timelines (CER/09/077). CER/09/077 document sets out the standard transmission charges and timelines for some transmission assets to be used by EirGrid plc (EirGrid) when issuing offers for connection to the transmission system. These charges are updated annually to reflect the change in Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) as published by the Central Bank of Ireland.
