New Electricity Market seminar

Led by Action Renewables and Vayu Energy, the seminar held at the Glenavon House Hotel, Cookstown, offered guidance for over 100 owners of wind, solar, anaerobic digestion and biomass technologies generating renewable electricity across Northern Ireland as the new Integrated Single Electricity Market is due to go live on May 23.

“As EU legislation joins together various energy markets across Europe, the new Integrated Single Electricity Market (I-SEM) should provide opportunities, help to even the playing field for many renewable electricity generators, delivering increased levels of competition and driving prices down.

“The I-SEM will also encourage a greater level of security of supply and transparency,” said Michael Doran, Director, Action Renewables. “In its new integrated format, transactions can take place across borders through intra-day trading.”

In a climate facing uncertainty due to the impending Brexit, preparations for the I-SEM have been underway within the industry for a number of years, with the overall aims of I-SEM being to increase competition, lower energy prices, and create a more open, cohesive, European energy market.

“To extract the best value from your PPA in the I-SEM, generators need to be firstly aware of the changes coming and also be much more proactive and this is where their suppliers can help. At Vayu we have been preparing for I-SEM for the last few years and we are committed to working with generators to find a solution that best fits their needs.” added Ross McConnell, Head of Power and Renewables, Vayu Energy.

“Vayu and Action Renewables have been working together in partnership for a number of years developing and securing Power Purchase Agreements with local generators, which ensured the best possible payback and minimal hassle for ROCs and electricity.

“We will continue to work with clients to ensure that they get the optimal revenues from their renewable generation.”, he added.
