**Electricity Connection Policy - Generation and System Services: Pre-engagement Process and High-level Technical Assessment Decision Paper**

The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) has published a decision on electricity connection policy generation and system services. The CRU's decisions are outlined in the pre-engagement and high-level technical assessment process for the September 2025 batch.

  • The requirement for grid applications to contain a valid HLTA is removed.
  • RED III and non-RED III projects must submit a pre-application notification to the relevant Single Owner (SO) by June 30, 2025.
  • A non-refundable deposit of €7,000 or 50% of the connection offer application fee, whichever is lower, is payable to the SO on submission of the pre-application notification.

For community-led projects, the non-refundable deposit is €2,000. If a project fails to submit a valid grid application by the September 2025 batch closing deadline, the project's pre-application notification will lapse and the deposit will be forfeited.

The pre-application notification form will consist of several inputs, as outlined in the paper. These decisions will facilitate applications into the September 2025 batch. The CRU will also consider wider concerns raised in responses to the proposed decision for post-September 2025 batches.

Decisions set out in this paper apply to onshore renewable and conventional generators, storage, and other system services technology projects connecting to the electricity system. They do not apply to interconnectors, demand connections, micro-generation, or offshore electricity connections.
