A single electricity market for the island of Ireland has moved a step closer with the signing of a formal Memorandum of Understanding by the Republic’s ESB National Grid (ESBNG) and the System Operator Northern Ireland (SONI).
Hopefully this will, as promised, deliver competitive prices to consumers.
A formal agreement is expected by next February to establish the new market operator, in time to meet the deadline of July 1 2007 for the start of the single electricity market.
For the anoraks, there are also graphs on both companies’ homepages which show how much electricy each part of the island is using per day.
A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
