The Role of Smart Grids in Irish Energy Policy Smart Grid Technology Watch Event, Claremorris, 18 th September 2014 Bob Hanna Chief Technical Advisor Department of Communications, Energy & Natural Resources

The Role of Smart Grids in Irish Energy Policy All Island Grid Study  Pioneering all-island work  How much intermittent renewables on the grid?  Answer – 42%  Active Public Sector Project Steering Committee working with Private Sector Consultants  Very successful

Some findings are counter-intuitive!

The Role of Smart Grids in Irish Energy Policy The ISLES Project  Feasibility Study for Offshore Interconnecting Grid specifically facilitating marine renewables  Study Area: Scotland, N. Ireland, Ireland  Technical, Environmental, Regulatory, Economic Workstreams

The ISLES Project What happens if we plan regionally; not developer-led?
