We are the people behind Ireland's electricity grid. We operate the power system with world leading levels of variable asynchronous renewable generation, ensuring that everyone has power when they need it. But that's not all, we are now transforming the power system for future generations.
And that's just the beginning of our story. We have a critical purpose. The purpose is to transform the power system to enable our society to reduce our carbon emissions and meet our climate change and net zero ambitions.

The Opportunity
EirGrid Group has developed an ambitious Business Strategy to respond to the unprecedented level of change and opportunity in the electricity industry, aligned with the Government's policies including its Climate Action Plan.

With an ultimate target of having a decarbonised power system in advance of 2050.
As a result, EirGrid is tasked with delivering complex programmes of work over a relatively short period of time. These multi-million-euro projects are tightly coupled and have historically been delivered through large upgrades of core business capabilities and systems, supported by internal resources and external vendors. For EirGrid to deliver the major programme of work by 2030 to meet government ambitious emissions targets, we need to change our IT system delivery approach to one that is more closely aligned to a DevOps Delivery Model that facilitates the building of quality IT systems and tools at high velocity while continuing to operate the electricity markets and power systems safely and securely.
