The purpose of the TSO Monitoring Committee (‘the Committee’) is to provide an effective challenge to EirGrid TSO’s proposed plans and approach to projects progressed through the Committee during PR5 and future price controls. The Committee will provide independent and ongoing oversight of the TSO initiatives that were deemed too uncertain to be included within the TSO’s ex-ante allowance for PR5 and the TSO’s ex-ante allowance for future price controls or TSO initiatives which had not been foreseen prior to the commencement of the relevant price control period.
