Constraints Costs (Imperfections Charges) 2023/24 Consultation Paper

Today, 30 June 2023, we are consulting on the Transmission System Operators (i.e. EirGrid & SONI) ‘Imperfections Charges Forecast Tariff Year 2023/24’ submission for Tariff Year 2023/24, prior to issuing its final decision on the 2023/24 Imperfections Charge.

The purpose of the Imperfections Charge is for the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to recover the total expected costs associated with constraints in the transmission system. SEMO levies the Imperfections Charge on suppliers.

We invite views on any aspect of the content of the accompanying TSOs’ submission, including if there are any actions the TSOs could take to minimise the Imperfection Charge.

Consultation closes on Friday 28 July 2023.
