Grid connection & ECP-2 tenders
Live tenders for grid connection works, reinforcement studies, and consultancy triggered by ECP-2 connection offers — auto-matched from TED daily.
Weekly Brief
Updated 2026-04-25Grid connection in Ireland runs on a queue-based system since the CRU's 2018 reforms, with the ECP-2 (Enduring Connection Policy round 2) cap of 6 GW for renewable + storage allocations the binding constraint on new capacity. Tenders surfaced here are typically EirGrid- or ESB Networks-side reinforcement works triggered by connection offers, plus the consultancy and Environmental Impact Assessment work that precedes physical build. Watch the capacity auction rounds (T-1 and T-4) for signal on which connection points are about to attract reinforcement spend — winners feed into the tender pipeline 12-18 months downstream.
Auto-populated from TED (Irish notices). CRU and EirGrid policy consultations are not tenders and are tracked separately on the Policy page.
