Summary

A non-confidential submission to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities supporting approval of MPID 345 as a matter of urgency. The Commission’s technical advisor judged fault-ride-through compliance likely to be the more cost-effective route while noting that no cost-benefit analysis exists. The submission attempted that quantification, concluded the public record cannot yet support a defensible figure, and sets out instead the specification a robust cost-benefit analysis would have to meet.

What it covers

  • Answers each of the Commission’s five invitations in turn.
  • Annex A lists the seven inputs a defensible cost-benefit analysis needs — six not currently published, five held by EirGrid.
  • Declares Amata’s interest in section 1.
