seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Increase in Framework Value for Vision 2030 Framework
EirGrid Group employs the Vision 2030 framework which is required for Strategic Partners to deliver the Governments’ ambition under the Climate Action Plan and Northern Ireland Energy Strategy.
Shaping Our Electricity Future programme which is the roadmap for delivering on the Governments’ ambition will face significant delivery challenges given the scale of transformation and the level of delivery that will be required. It is estimated that further renewable generation capacity as well as increased interconnection, conventional generation, storage solutions and additional system services will be required to support the 2030 targets and the demand increases anticipated on the island. Key strategic partnerships play a pivotal role in enabling us to achieve this transformation of the power system on the island of Ireland. The delivery of changes has exceeded the amount originally required and an increase in the framework value is required.
It is essential that the framework is now uplifted to ensure the delivery of these projects.

seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire.
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire (Art. 43(1)(b) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(b) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
Art. 89(1)(c) of Directive 2014/25/EU )
As noted above, the Vision 2030 framework agreement is used by the EirGrid Group to deliver on the Governments’ ambition under the Climate Action Plan and Northern Ireland Energy Strategy 2022.
The procurement of this framework agreement was aligned with the Government’s initial target of 70% of renewable energy by 2030. In 2022, the Government decided to accelerate on the delivery of this goal by increasing this target to 80% by 2030.
This change in Government policy was not foreseen by the EirGrid Group when the framework agreement was awarded. Thus, order to deliver on the Government’s revised ambitious target an increase of the framework value is required.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: 45,500,000 EUR
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 68,250,000 EUR
