Grid Connection Pathway for Phase 2 Offshore Wind
Offshore Grid Connection
The CRU on 14 October 2024, published a decision paper (CRU2024124) on the grid access requirements for Phase 2 offshore wind projects. This decision creates a pathway, with clear milestones, by which a Phase 2 offshore project can secure and execute grid access.
This decision will enable Phase 2 offshore wind project developers to understand the grid connection access requirements prior to Phase 2 auctions. Additionally, this decision will enable EirGrid to complete and issue a Grid Connection Information (GCI) pack to any offshore wind project seeking to participate in the next state auction Tonn Nua as well as any future Phase 2 auctions.
Queries to the decision should be submitted via email to offshoreeconomicpolicy@cru.ie
