Shaping Our Electricity Future

This paper sets out the TSOs’ recommendations to the SEMC regarding the implementation of the FASS Charge, reflecting the feedback received on the Consultation Paper through stakeholders’ written responses and input to the industry workshop. This paper also summarises that feedback and provides the TSOs’ commentary in response.

​In 2022, SONI and EirGrid published an Operational Policy Roadmap out to 2030 setting out their targets for evolving key operational policies related to facilitating increased levels of renewable generation on the power system. These targets included increases in the System Non-Synchronous Penetration (SNSP) limit and reductions in the Minimum Number of Units (MNOU) requirements. This 2025 update to the Operational Policy Roadmap reflects the current state of implementation, new initiatives, challenges, updated policies and targets out to 2035.

As part of the ongoing work to develop Future Arrangements for System Services, EirGrid and SONI have shortlisted four options to address the period between the end of the current DS3 Regulated Arrangements and the go-live of the DASSA (including the TSOs' recommended option). The TSOs have today published a consultation paper on the DS3 System Services Tariffs to FASS ('The Gap') Consultation Paper. Responses to the question set out in this paper should be submitted through either the EirGrid or the SONI portal by 25 March 2025.
