The CRU has today, 4th February 2019, published a Consultation Paper on its proposals for Locational Scarcity Scalars for System Services in the Dublin Region. The purpose of this paper is to set out and consult on the CRU’s proposals to adjust the System Services Locational Scarcity Scalar payment level above one for the appropriate System Services for providers in the Dublin Region.
The CRU considers that there is a need for locational signals for the Dublin Region, to incentivise generation which provides system support, both in terms of entry and exit, which is important for the long-term security of supply in the region, in the context of unprecedented levels of forecast demand growth.
The CRU is requesting comments and feedback on its proposals by the 19th March 2019. Comments/feedback on the questions proposed should be submitted by email to bsmith@cru.ie
