I-SEM and DS3 Programme Management

Two major change programmes, the Integrated Single Electricity Market (I-SEM) and “Delivering a Secure Sustainable Electricity System” (DS3), took place concurrently in the Irish market. ESP Consulting partnered with Neueda, a global IT consultancy, to perform the I-SEM and DS3 centralised Programme Management Function for the two Irish energy Regulatory Authorities. The activities this involved included:

  • Developing and maintaining a hierarchical plan for the entire programme that is fully integrated with the plan of the Transmission System Operators (TSOs);
  • Making continual assessment of resource availability and determining an optimal response;
  • Regular and accurate progress reporting, with a standardised and agreed set of reports in conjunction with a baselined plan and facilitation of regular project board meetings;
  • The implementation of procedures for risk and issue management, assumptions management, document management and change control;
  • Taking measures to ensure quality control and quality assurance of any programme deliverable through a series of agreed, standardised reviews over its lifecycle; and
  • Interfacing with industry to survey market developments and provide delivery assurance.
