Procurement Intelligence
EirGrid plc is Ireland's state-owned Transmission System Operator (TSO), responsible for operating, developing, and enhancing the national high-voltage electricity transmission grid to support the country's energy transition. As a major public buyer, it manages large-scale infrastructure projects with significant capital expenditure focused on grid stability and renewable integration. Primary procurement categories include renewable energy technologies like synchronous condensers, offshore wind substations and HV equipment, geodata surveys, utility supplies (green electricity and gas), and IT network/security services.
Strategic Context
EirGrid is prioritising Ireland's offshore wind targets through major capital programmes like the South Coast Tonn Nua Substation Package, valued at hundreds of millions of euros, for offshore substations, HV equipment, and onshore works. Recent awards for low carbon inertia services via synchronous condensers in multiple counties support renewable integration without active power generation. A 7-year framework with Fugro for geo-data surveys underscores commitment to south coast offshore grid development amid the national push for cleaner energy.
Typical Suppliers
