The Opportunity

Through continuous improvement and innovation, we’re shaping a resilient, future-ready energy system that meets the evolving needs of all electricity users.
The Capacity Funding & Delivery team runs the auctions that secure the long-term capacity needed to keep the lights on and support Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon future, in line with the Climate Action Plan.
