  • Moyle Publishes Interconnector Capacity Statement
    Moyle Interconnector Limited Interconnector Capacity Calculation September 2011 Executive Summary Moyle Interconnector Limited (“MIL”) owns and operates the submarine cables between converter stations at Ballycronan More in Islandmagee, County Antrim and Auchencrosh in Ayrshire that link the electricity transmission systems of Northern Ireland and Scotland. The cable and key components of the link have an engineering capacity of 500MW in each direction. However, limits applied for system security reasons by the Transmission System Operators (“TSOs”) at either end of the link mean that, at present, the full Moyle Interconnector engineering capacity cannot be made available to electricity traders for flows between the Betta and SEM markets. The current capacity available to interconnector users is shown in the following table.. Direction Month Capacity available to Capacity limit set by: interconnector users West to East May - August 287 MW NG/ GB System September - April 295 MW SONI/ NI System East to West April - October 410 MW SONI/ NI System November - March 450 MW NG/ GB System MIL, in conjunction with National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET), Scottish Power Transmission (SPT) 1, the System Operator for Northern Ireland (SONI) and NIE, the Northern Ireland transmission network owner , has prepared this statement to outline how available capacity on both the GB National Electricity Transmission System (“the GB system”) and the Northern Ireland Electricity Transmission System (“the NI system”) is assessed for the physical transfer of power between Northern Ireland and Scotland using the Moyle Interconnector 2. This is a requirement of Article 15(2) of Regulation EC 714/2009 on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity which states that “a general scheme for the calculation of total transfer capacity and the transmission reliability margin based on the electrical and physical features of the network” shall be published (subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities).

  • Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland
    Single Jurisdiction in Northern Ireland. Background The Northern Ireland Courts and Tribunals Service public consultation "Redrawing the Map: A Consultation on Court Boundaries in Northern Ireland” contained proposals to replace the current rigid statutory framework of court boundaries for County Courts and magistrates’ courts with a single jurisdiction within Northern Ireland underpinned by more flexible administrative arrangements. Stakeholders broadly welcomed the proposals. Single Jurisdiction reforms will be implemented on 31 October 2016. The legislation to give effect to the single jurisdiction is contained in Part 1 of the Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2015. Under the new arrangements, the jurisdiction of county courts and magistrates courts will no longer be determined by reference to County Court Divisions and Petty Sessions Districts. Instead these courts will exercise jurisdiction throughout Northern Ireland, similar to the way in which the Crown Court already operates. New Administrative Court Divisions The existing divisional structure will simultaneously be replaced with three new Administrative Court Divisions (ACDs). These Divisions will not define jurisdiction but rather will determine the area in which court business will ‘usually’ be heard. The three ACDs are:- North Eastern Division South Eastern Division Western Division. A map illustrating the geographical make-up of these Divisions has been attached at Annex A. Page 1 of 20 Although the legislation provides that different ACDs may be created for different types of court business (e.g. police or Public Prosecution Service boundaries for criminal business; Health Trust boundaries for family business) there will in the first instance be one single configuration of ACDs based on combinations of the eleven Local Government Districts for Northern Ireland.
