Is muide a fheidhmíonn eangach leictreachais na hÉireann. Feidhmíonn muid an córas cumhachta le leibhéil den scoth ginte in-athnuaite aisioncronaigh athraithigh, le cinntiú go mbíonn cumhacht ag gach duine nuair a theastaíonn sé uathu. Ach ní hé sin bun agus barr an scéil, tá muid anois ag tabhairt faoi chlaochlú an chórais chumhachta do na glúnta inár ndiaidh.
Agus níl ansin ach an tús. Tá cuspóir tábhachtach againn. Is é sin claochlú an chórais chumhachta le cur ar chumas ár sochaí astaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú agus ár spriocanna athraithe aeráide agus neodrachta a bhaint amach.

Cuspóir an Róil
Tá foireann na Margaí Amach Anseo freagrach as ceannaireacht smaointeoireachta a sholáthar maidir le hathruithe margaidh a theastaíonn chun na spriocanna leictreachais inathnuaite a bhaint amach. Tá sí freagrach chomh maith as cláir mhóra oibre a sheacadadh chun athruithe atá faofa ag na húdaráis rialála a chur i bhfeidhm.
Tá roinnt phríomhthionscadal idir lámha ag an bhfoireann faoi láthair, lena n-áirítear;
* Socruithe Amach Anseo do Sheirbhísí Córais: Mar chuid den tionscadal seo tá socruithe nua á bhforbairt chun Seirbhísí Córais nuálaíochta a sholáthar a bheidh fíorthábhachtach agus athrú oibríochtúil á chur i bhfeidhm chun ligean d'fheidhmiú an chórais chumhachta le leibhéil níos airde teicneolaíochta ísealcharbóin agus chun ár spriocanna inathnuaite a bhaint amach do 2030.
* Sceidealú agus Seoladh: Faoin tionscadal seo, tá athruithe dearaidh á bhforbairt dár gcórais chroímhargaí agus oibríochtúla chun athruithe a chur i bhfeidhm a bhaineann le hathnuaiteáin neamhthosaíochta seolta mar a shainmhínítear iad sa Phacáiste Fuinnimh Ghlain, ag feabhsú seoltaí gaoithe, agus uasdátuithe ar an bpróiseas sceidealaithe agus seolta chun réitigh nua stórála fuinnimh a thabhairt isteach, chomh maith le foinsí ísealcharbóin támhaí agus soláthar cúltacaí agus seirbhísí córas ó nuatheicneolaíochtaí.
* Comhtháthú Eorpach: Ó tharla an Breatimeacht, níl an margadh uile-oileáin leictreachais comhtháite leis an AE. Nuair a thosófar ag feidhmiú an Idirnascaire Cheiltigh in 2026, beimid comhtháite arís leis an AE, agus beidh gá le hathruithe suntasacha margaidh dá bharr.
* SEM-GB: Tá an margadh SEM idirnasctha le margadh na Breataine Móire. Tá obair leanúnach idir lámha chun socruithe iar-Bhreatimeachta a fhorbairt.
* Clár Margaidh Acmhainneachta: Cuimsíonn an clár athruithe seo roinnt sruthanna oibre lena n-áirítear rannpháirtíocht acmhainneachta trasteorann, athruithe oibríochtúla agus dícharbónú i gcomhar leis an tionscal, le rialtóirí agus páirtithe leasmhara.
* Aistriú an mhargaidh iomaíoch go margadh Neodrach: Forbairt seasaimh ar pholasaí leictreachais chun astaíochtaí carbóin neodracha a bhaint amach faoin mbliain 2050, i gcomhar leis an gCoimisiún um Rialáil Fóntais agus leis an Roinn Comhshaoil, Aeráide agus Cumarsáide.
* Polasaí Taraifí: Tacú le forbairt socruithe nua taraifí agus comhordú na freagartha ar threoracha an AE maidir le taraifí agus an cur chuige maidir le táillí líonra a laghdú.
Chomh maith leis na tionscadail seo, cuireann an fhoireann ceannaireacht smaointeoireachta agus comhairle ar fáil don chuid eile den ghnó maidir le hathruithe tábhachtacha margaidh a theastaíonn chun tacú le spriocanna an rialtais 80% de RES-E a bhaint amach faoi 2030 agus díriú ar athruithe margaidh le bheith neodrach ó thaobh carbóin de.
A bhuí leis an nádúr éagsúil a bhaineann leis an margadh uile-oileáin leictreachais, tá ár bhfoireann ag sárú dúshlán sula dtagann siad aníos in aon áit eile ar domhan. Deis faoi leith atá anseo, mar sin, oibriú le saineolaithe atá ar thús cadhnaíochta agus ról ríthábhachtach a imirt inár n-aistriú chuig todhchaí shlán agus ísealcharbóin fuinnimh.

Fostóir Comhdheiseanna is ea EirGrid
We are the people behind Ireland's electricity grid, and we have developed an ambitious Business Strategy to respond to the unprecedented level of change and opportunity in the energy industry. Our Purpose is to Transform the Power System for Future Generations and our primary goal is to Lead the Island's Electricity Sector on Sustainability and Decarbonisation.
Power up your career and join us on our journey of transforming Ireland's power system for future generations.
Job Purpose
The Future Markets team is responsible for providing thought leadership in relation to market changes needed to deliver on the renewable electricity targets and is also responsible for delivering large programmes of work to deliver on changes approved by the regulatory authorities.
There are currently a number of key projects which the team is delivering on including;
* Future Arrangements for System Services: This project is developing new arrangements for the procurement of innovative System Services which will be vital in facilitating operational change which will allow the power system to be operated with increasingly high levels of low carbon technologies and in achieving our 2030 renewables targets.
* Scheduling and Dispatch: This project is developing design changes to our core market and operational systems to deliver on changes associated with the treatment of non-priority dispatch renewables defined in the Clean Energy Package, making improvements on wind dispatch, and updates to scheduling and dispatch process to incorporate new energy storage solutions, low carbon sources of inertia, and the provision of reserves and systems services from new technologies.
* European Integration: Since Brexit the all-island electricity market is no longer integrated with the EU. Once the Celtic Interconnector goes live in 2026, we will be integrated again into the EU and this will require significant market changes.
* SEM-GB: The SEM market is interconnected with the GB market. Work is ongoing to develop post-Brexit arrangements.
* Capacity Market Programme: This change programme encompasses a number of workstreams including cross-border capacity participation, operational changes and decarbonisation in collaboration with industry, regulators and stakeholders.
* Competitive market transition to Net Zero: The development of a position on electricity policy in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, in conjunction with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) and Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC).
* Tarriff Policy: Support the development of new tariff arrangements and co-ordinate the response to EU guidance on tariffication and approach to reducing network charges.
In addition to these projects the team delivers thought leadership and advice to the rest of the business around key market changes needed to support the government targets of getting 80% of RES-E by 2030 and also a focus on market changes to deliver on net carbon zero.
Due to the unique nature of the all-island electricity market our team are solving challenges before they are experienced elsewhere in the world. This is therefore a unique opportunity to work alongside world-leading experts and play a key role in our transition to a secure and low carbon energy future.
