Transmission Operations Overview

This work stream will focus on agreeing an integrated transmission system operation for the island of Ireland which will harmonise and integrate the processes and systems used to physically transport gas around the system (ie, from any entry point to any exit point). Part of this work stream will be to determine how the codes of operation can be harmonised in such a manner as to facilitate integrated system operation - the Irish transmission and distribution systems are currently operated by a single operator and governed by a single , unified code, while in Northern Ireland there are currently three transmission system operators and two distribution system operators, each having a separate integrated code of operations for transmission and distribution of gas within their territory. Once the integrated transmission system operation is decided , further supports (such as a Single System Administrator & Single IT System) may be required to implement this structure across the island.
