DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Kingsley Hotel in Cork from 2pm – 5pm on Tuesday
  the 25th of June for our second policy forum of 2024. Our theme for this 
 policy forum is “Developing a Grid for Irelands decarbonisation'.\nModerni
 sing Ireland's electricity grid is essential for achieving decarbonisation
  goals and integrating renewable energy. An outdated grid can struggle wit
 h integrating the increasing level of renewables that are required to achi
 eve our Net-Zero power system goals\, and as such\, we must look at how we
  bring our electricity grid into the 21st century. \nDuring this policy fo
 rum\, we will hear from experts in the industry as they discuss important 
 areas of grid where developments are underway to modernise the grid system
 . The event will commence with an introduction from Dave Linehan\, our Hea
 d of Policy and Research with a brief update from industry. Margaret Nee\,
  who is Head of Grid at Statkraft\, and Chair of our Grid Committee will g
 ive a brief introduction to the forum and chair the panel discussion.\nTo 
 kick off the presentations\, we are delighted to welcome National Grid\, t
 he UK TSO\, who will discuss their Beyond 2030 report published earlier th
 is year. Next\, Niall Byrne from EirGrid will present the results from the
  Tomorrow's Energy Scenarios analysis and provide an update on the System 
 Needs Assessment. Following this\, Donal Smith with Switched In Consulting
  will share the latest developments in Future Connection Policy. Laura Meh
 igan\, Grid Services Manager at Orsted\, will then provide an overview of 
 the effects of constraints on projects from development to operation.\nThe
  session will wrap up with a short Q&amp\;A and panel discussion with our 
 speakers\, ending at 5pm. WEI will be hosting a summer barbeque where we c
 an enjoy some food and drinks in the sunshine\, hopefully!\nThis event is
