FASS: EirGrid and SONI TSO Licence Modifications Consultation Paper

Date published:

The SEM Committee today, 15th September, published a 
consultation paper on the proposed EirGrid and SONI TSO Licence 
Modifications and enduring conditions to establish the System 
Services Markets. 

The paper provides an overview of the FASS Regulatory Framework 
which is required to govern the commercial arrangements for the 
procurement of All-island System Services products – in alignment 
with EU law. 

The Consultation sets out the SEM Committee’s considerations on 
the required modifications to the Licence conditions required to give 
effect to the System Services Code, to ensure that there are robust 
requirements on the TSOs to procure System Services through 
market-based means and for the overall development of the Future 
Arrangement for System Services (FASS) project.  

The SEM Committee welcomes comments in relation to the 
proposals set out in this consultation paper. Following this, the SEM 
Committee will publish a decision, and the CRU and UR will then 
respectively commence the formal licence modifications procedures 
for each jurisdiction which will include further statutory consultation 
windows.  

Please provide any responses or observations no later than 27th 
October to Harry Enwereonu ( henwereonu@cru.ie ) and Bronagh 
McKeown ( bronagh.mckeown@uregni.gov.uk ).
