Following a call for expressions of interest in October 2020, we selected 19 panel members based on a number of criteria, across 10 stakeholder sectors. These panel members will represent our stakeholder sectors with a reach nationally and internationally. This document details the Terms of Reference for the Stakeholder Innovation Panel, it outlines the purpose and objective of the panel, the structure and timelines for meetings,  and the panel membership and sectors represented. 

This document outlines the activities undertaken by ESB Networks in furtherance of the P2P objective of the Dingle Project, the learnings garnered from these activities and proposed future steps to be undertaken to increase learnings on the potential impact of P2P energy on the operation of the distribution network.
