My Department is currently finalising the necessary legislation to transpose the transmission network unbundling provisions of Directive 2009/72/EC.
In line with the recent Government Decision and as provided for in the Directive, it will be the responsibility of the Commissioner for Energy Regulation to progress with the European Commission the certification and verification arrangements under Article 9.9 and 9.10 of the Directive which provide, in effect, for a derogation from the transmission system operator unbundling options under the Directive.
