The purpose of this consultation is to seek views from industry on the joint proposal from EirGrid and ESB Networks to introduce contestability of commissioning for customer connections to the electricity system at transmission and distribution level. At the moment, when a customer is connecting to the transmission or distribution system, the connection assets can be constructed by either the customer or ESB Networks as the owner of the system assets. To date, only ESB Networks has been able to commission the connection assets that are intended to become part of the transmission or distribution system. Industry has asked that customers be given the option to commission the connection assets that they have constructed and EirGrid and ESB Networks are now bringing forward proposals to enable this to happen.
