Security of Electricity Supply

Insight Paper on Security of Supply

The ongoing transition to zero-carbon electricity system carries with it a level of risk for the all-island system. EAI believes the current supply issue is the result of not procuring the additional electricity generation capacity that is required for an Island system undergoing significant transition.

This Insight Paper aims to set out the various roles of those involved in maintaining Security of Supply on the Island of Ireland, the factors that contribute to security of supply and a number of recommendations that could improve the outlook for security of supply on the island.
