Enel Group’s advanced energy services business, Enel X, has retained its position as Ireland's demand response leader after securing 154 MW of capacity in an auction held by EirGrid. The company said it had secured the contract for a new generation gas turbine plant at the site and that work was expected to start next year. The 2019-2020 delivery period will be the second for Ireland’s capacity market, which integrates the electricity market of Ireland with the rest of Europe under a new wholesale market arrangement, the Integrated Single Electricity Market (I-SEM). The energy will be incorporated into Europe's integrated single electricity market, a wholesale arrangement that aims to create more opportunities for trading, increase renewable integration and improve wholesale electricity pricing.
