Energy Meter Data Capture and Meter Data Processing Solution with Support and Maintenance

Tender description

The objective of this PQQ process is to produce a short-list of suitably qualified Candidates who will be invited to tender for the provision of an Energy Meter Data Capture and Meter Data Processing Solution and the Support and Maintenance of same. Energy Meter Data is collected from transmission connected Generators, Interconnectors and Tie Line flow meters, and the SCADA system, and used by EirGrid and SONI for the purpose of Settlement and as Meter Data Provider obligations under the I-SEM Trading and Settlement Code. EirGrid and SONI currently use different energy meter data capture and data processing solutions. The scope of the project will include replacing the EirGrid system. It may include replacing the SONI system. This replacement may be done in parallel with the EirGrid implementation, after that implementation or not at all. A decision on the inclusion of SONI will be made when the regulatory funding position is fully established.

Energy Meter Data is collected from transmission connected Generators, Interconnectors and Tie Line flow meters, and the SCADA system, and used by EirGrid and SONI for the purpose of Settlement and as Meter Data Provider obligations under the I-SEM Trading and Settlement Code.

It may include replacing the SONI system. This replacement may be done in parallel with the EirGrid implementation, after that implementation or not at all. A decision on the inclusion of SONI will be made when the regulatory funding position is fully established. The new system should capture Energy Metering Data, which is required for use by different business units within EirGrid (such as I-SEM, including Interconnector Settlement, TUoS and DS3 Services). It should be able to process meter data to ensure that the most accurate set of data is available for use. It should make this data available for the Business Units and Single Energy Market in appropriate formats through some form of customer meter data access facility. Ideally, it would also allow EirGrid give generators and other external parties access to their own meter data through a similar access facility. The single supplier Framework Agreement period will be for an initial duration of four years with the option to extend annually for up to an additional four years, subject always to the satisfactory performance of the supplier.
