What you need to know about the market

  • The I-SEM has seen a continued shift away from conventional thermal to renewable energy, with onshore wind capacity doubling over the last decade while peat and coal reach legislature closure.
  • The increasing penetration of intermittent renewables brings challenges for system stability, resulting in high volumes of renewables being dispatched down in favour of thermal assets in order to meet SNSP (System Non-Synchronous Penetration) and Min Gen (Minimum Generation) requirements.
  • The rise in renewables brings significant opportunities for storage assets. Despite this, there is still policy uncertainty surrounding Future Arrangements for DS3 and future market design for energy trading.
