Notice Title
Single Electricity Market Committee Legal Services
Notice Description
The CRU is Ireland's independent energy and water regulator. The CRU's mission is to protect the public interest in Water, Energy and Energy Safety. The work of the CRU impacts every Irish home and business. The sectors we regulate underpin Irish economic competitiveness, investment and growth, while also contribute to our international obligations to address climate change. NIAUR is a Non-Ministerial Government Department. It was established originally as the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation, under the Energy (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 (the Energy Order), to independently regulate both the electricity and gas industries. The Water and Sewerage Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 changed the name of the Northern Ireland Authority for Energy Regulation to the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation, and imposed on it additional duties and functions associated with the regulation of supply of water by water undertakers and the provision of sewerage by sewerage undertakers. CRU and NIAUR (collectively the Regulatory Authorities ("RAs")) jointly regulate the Single Electricity Market (SEM) through the SEM Committee (SEMC). The SEMC was established by virtue of Section 8A Electricity Regulation Act 1999 as inserted by section 4 of the Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Act 2007, and Article 6 (1) of the Electricity (Single Wholesale Market) (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 to conduct trading in the wholesale electricity market in both Ireland and Northern Ireland on an All-Island basis. The forgoing legislation sets out the duties and powers of the SEMC. Both sets of legislation seek to achieve similar objectives for the SEM. Further information on the SEMC's role and relevant legislation can be found on website, www.semcommittee.com The RAs invite Tenders for the provision of appropriate legal services across a wide range of specialist areas relevant to the SEMC.
