About Energy Trading Ireland

Our Mission

Our mission is simple, clear and entirely client focused. Energy Trading Ireland derive revenue returns to our clients every day.

Energy Trading Ireland (ETI) has been established to provide energy management services to our clients spanning all sectors of industry, business and commerce. We provide substantial revenue returns to their business' by utilising existing infrastructure and processes.

As a licensed Demand Side Unit Aggregator, ETI provides both Demand Side Reduction and DS3 Services into both the Single Electricity Market and System Services Markets in N. Ireland and RoI.

To maximise revenue for our clients from the Single Electricity Market (SEM), ETI focuses on the efficient utilization of our clients' existing infrastructure and current electricity use. This could be achieved by direct demand reduction, use of existing installed generation equipment or a combination of both.

With over 45 years' experience in the Electricity Supply Industry, ETI has the in-house expertise to design, project-manage, commission and trade projects on behalf of customers.

GRID CONTROL

21 years as Grid Control Engineer with the Transmission System Operator - experience of many market trading platforms including scheduling and running the €2.0B/yr Single Electricity Market.

DEMAND SIDE AGGREGATOR

ETI have been trading in the Single Electricity Market since January 2015.
We generated over £500,000 income for one individual customer in the last 12 months.

With many years of both power station and Grid Control experience, we have a sound understanding of industrial processes, operations and the pressures of meeting customer services in a highly regulated environment. In the Electricity Supply Industry, failure to balance supply and demand on a second-by-second basis leads to disconnection of tens, or hundred of thousands of customers. You can rest assured that, with ETI, your business is in safe hands.

ETI provide a complete End to End Energy Management service for our clients and will shortly provide these energy services in GB as well as internationally.
