Microgeneration: In Ireland, there is an assumption of 500MW of microgeneration by 2030. EirGrid originally modelled between 100MW and 400MW. Onshore wind: EirGrid is planning for an additional 1.3GW of onshore wind generation to be in place by 2030. Storage: We are planning for 1.65GW of battery storage to be in
EirGrid will develop the infrastructure and operational requirements to facilitate this shift." EirGrid can operate the grid at any given time with up to 65 per cent of renewable power, including onshore wind
providing connection offers for 4,000MW of wind generation and 1,700MW of supporting conventional or small, renewable and low carbon generation capacity. This is in addition to Gates 1 and 2 which previously facilitated the connection of 0.4GW and 1.3GW of wind generation respectively. EirGrid has already embarked on its long term transmission
further new electricity generation will be required to secure the transition to high levels of renewable electricity over the coming decades. A balanced portfolio of new capacity is
EirGrid as the Transmission System Operator (TSO) for Ireland, and SONI as the TSO With increasing level of installed non-synchronous generation capacity i.e. wind and solar, and further interconnection to the All-Island power system, it is necessary to measure and limit the System Non-Synchronous Penetration (SNSP) to ensure safe and

Due to the vast natural wind resource in Northern Ireland and Ireland, it is assumed that the majority of this renewable energy will come from wind power plants. There is currently an
4. There is a Grid Code requirement for wind generation to have the facility to reduce their output to 0 MW at a specified frequency. Therefore the use of wind generation allows for an accurate and prudent OFGSS to be developed. Furthermore, it avoids any potential local voltage issues which may be experienced if too much generation is tripped
Benefits of the Project. The Offshore project will help deliver up to 900MW of additional electricity. The new electricity will be generated by offshore wind farms in Irish waters.

EirGrid (Irish TSO) proposed a maximum ROCOF of 1Hz/s measured over a rolling 500 ms window, since this aligns with the time for generators to return to a "coherent state" and for wind generation post-fault.
In particular, this study examines different connection options to the Irish transmission system. Figure 1: A potential generic connection method for renewable generation in the
We are integrating renewable energy and new technologies more and more. The electricity sector will play a key role in shaping a sustainable energy future for Ireland and Northern
The work is required to connect significant volumes of offshore and onshore wind, solar and conventional generation while also reinforcing the power system and implementing over 40 candidate solutions identified in Shaping Our Electricity Future to support the future economic and social development of our country.

Wind plays a crucial role in determining Irish power prices now. Wind contributed 35% of the generation mix on this island in 2023. The same % as in 2022 but from a higher demand base.
Already a record-breaking day 💨 Today, Ireland exceeded previous wind generation, with levels exceeding 3,800 MW this morning compared to 3,644 MW previously. The previous record was set at 19.
EirGrid Group which comprises the TSOs for Ireland and Northern Ireland and the single electricity market operator operates a synchronous system with a total generation installed capacity of 11.5 GW of which 17% is wind. With 12% of annual electricity output from wind, the instantaneous wind generation frequently reaches 50% of the total generation. This

The TSO and the DSO have an agreed compliance testing approach for Controllable Power Park Modules with a registered capacity of 5MW or more. This is set out in the TSO & DSO Wind Farm Testing Protocol. PPMs must carry out the following tests: Site survey - for TSO and DSO connected PPMs, in coordination with EirGrid.
75% of Ireland''s electricity generation can now come from variable renewables such as wind and solar at any one time as a result of successful changes. EirGrid and SONI have been internationally recognised for delivering an innovative technology solution to integrate more renewable energy onto the all-island grid, which will
EirGrid has identified currently available onshore grid capacity for further connection of offshore renewables of approximately 700 MW in total off the South coast of Ireland. The additional offshore wind capacity is intended to be split into two connections of approximately 350 MW each at different locations along the South coast.
The growth in clean electricity from renewable sources will require transformative change to the electricity system, and EirGrid has a central role to play in this.
