We develop, manage and operate the electricity transmission grid. EirGrid Group is the independent Transmission System Operator (TSO) in Ireland and Northern Ireland, through EirGrid and SONI, respectively. We use the grid to connect industry and businesses that use large amounts of electricity. The grid also powers the distribution network - this supplies the electricity you use every day in your homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and farms. We support competition in energy, promote economic growth, facilitate more renewable energy and provide essential services. We develop new electricity infrastructure only when required. The Single Electricity Market Operator (SEMO) is part of the EirGrid Group, and operates the Single Electricity Market (SEM) across the two jurisdictions. EirGrid Group also owns and operates the East West Interconnector (EWIC), a high-voltage electricity link between Ireland and Great Britain. EirGrid plc is a commercial state-owned company. We abide by strict laws and safety standards. 1 EIRGRID PLC ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2015 Highlights REVENUEREVENUE GREW FROMGREW FROM €668.4€668.4 million million to to Safe,Safe, N N PlanningPlanning application application SECURESECURE made formade the for the €706.2€706.2 POWERPOWER SYSTEM SYSTEM MILLIONMILLION maintainedmaintained deliverydelivery of12 of12 throughoutthroughout NorthNorth commitmentscommitments SouthSouthS S on publicon public consultation consultation 20152015 INTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTOR PROJECTPROJECT ProProfitfit SONSONI I before beforetax was tax was progressedprogressed its first its first We haveWe have €40.7€40.7 NI transmissionNI transmission workedworked with with StudiesStudies progressed progressed on an on an MILLIONMILLION reinforcementreinforcement to to APPLE,APPLE, ELECTRICITYELECTRICITY pre-constructionpre-construction FACEBOOKFACEBOOK INTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTOR phasephase & MICROS& MICROSOFTOFT WITHWITH to connectto connect new Irish new data Irish centres data centres FRANCEFRANCE a dividenda dividend of of €3€.53.5 PublicationPublication of our draft of our draft grid developmentgrid development DevelopmentsDevelopments millionmillion € € on an integratedon an integrated delivereddelivered€ € strategystrategy increaseincrease SINGLESINGLE to theto the ‘YOUR‘YOUR GRID, GRID, in thein electricity the electricity electricityelectricity SHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDER YOURYOUR VIEWS, VIEWS, DEMANDDEMAND marketmarket(I-SEM) (I-SEM) YOURYOUR TOMORROW’ TOMORROW’ as the asrecovery the recovery gathers gathers pace pace WITHWITH EUROPE EUROPE 2 EIRGRID PLC ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2015 REVENUEREVENUEREVENUE GREW GREW FROMGREW FROM FROM €668.4€668.4€668.4 million million million to to to Safe,Safe,Safe, N NN PlanningPlanningPlanning application application application SECURESECURESECURE mademade formade the for for the the €706.2€€706.2706.2 POWERPOWERPOWER SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM MILLIONMILLIONMILLION maintainedmaintainedmaintained deliverydeliverydelivery of12 of 12of12 throughoutthroughoutthroughout NorthNorthNorth commitmentscommitmentscommitments SouthSouthSouthS SS on publiconon public public consultation consultation consultation 201522015015 INTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTOR PROJECTPROJECTPROJECT ProProProfitffitit SONSONSONI II beforebeforebefore tax wastax tax was was progressedprogressedprogressed its itsfirst its first first We WehaveWe have have €40.7€€40.740.7 NI NItransmissionNI transmission transmission workedworkedworked with with with StudiesStudiesStudies progressed progressed progressed on an on on an an MILLIONMILLIONMILLION reinforcementreinforcementreinforcement to to to APPLE,APPLE,APPLE, ELECTRICITYELECTRICITYELECTRICITY pre-constructionpre-constructionpre-construction FACEBOOKFACEBOOKFACEBOOK INTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTORINTERCONNECTOR phasephasephase & MICROS&& MICROS MICROSOFOTOFFTT WITHWITHWITH to connectto toconnect connect new Irishnew new Irishdata Irish datacentres data centres centres FRANCEFRANCEFRANCE a dividenda adividend dividend of of of €€3€3.53.5.5 PublicationPublicationPublication of our of draft ofour our draft draft gridgrid developmentgrid development development DevelopmentsDevelopmentsDevelopments millionmillionmillion € € € on anon integratedon an anintegrated integrated delivereddelivereddelivered€ € € strategystrategystrategy increaseincreaseincrease SINGLESINGLESINGLE to totheto the the ‘YOUR‘YOUR‘YOUR GRID, GRID, GRID, in theinin theelectricity the electricity electricity electricityelectricityelectricity SHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDER YOURYOURYOUR VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS, DEMANDDEMANDDEMAND marketmarketmarket(I-SEM()I-SEM(I-SEM) ) YOURYOURYOUR TOMORROW’ TOMORROW’ TOMORROW’ as theasas recoverythe the recovery recovery gathers gathers gathers pace pace pace WITHWITHWITH EUROPE EUROPE EUROPE 3 EIRGRID PLC ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2015 Chairperson’s Report Delivering an innovative grid for business and community is what guides us in EirGrid Group John O’Connor CHAIRPERSON I am pleased to present the 2015 Annual Report of perhaps more importantly, in embedding throughout EirGrid plc under the theme of “Connecting Jobs and the organisation the values and culture that should Prosperity”. imbue any company responsible for such a vital public service.

Key Findings The relatively small size of Investing in the Irish Electricity Market, ESB dominance and uncertainty over future trading arrangements serve to reduce the attractiveness of the Irish market from both an investor’s and fi n a n c i e r ’ s point of view. Despite these issues, a number of parties remain interested in developing electricity generation and supply businesses in Ireland. The key difficulty facing those considering investing is the absence of a party to offer long-term offtake contracts to generators, which would enable the generators to obtain non recourse financing. It is likely that, in order to facilitate investment by a new generator, the current bilateral contracts based trading arrangements will have to be modified, in conjunction with the opportunity for IPPs to sell to ESB PES post 20 0 5 .
