The System Operator of Northern Ireland (SONI) is outlining the shift from centralized fossil fuel power stations to a decentralized system powered by variable wind and solar energy. The transition requires significant grid modernization and strategic infrastructure investment to maintain system stability and reduce consumer costs. To achieve these goals, SONI is advocating for a whole-system approach that aligns energy planning with wider economic and climate strategies. This includes collaborating with industry leaders and government to remove barriers to infrastructure delivery and accelerate the deployment of clean energy.
