Kilshane Energy and related companies want to be allowed to bid in auction for right to sell electricity to the grid

High Court has agreed to an early hearing of a challenge to a process in which power companies are allowed to bid to sell energy to the national grid. Photograph: Alan BetsonThe High Court has agreed to an early hearing of a challenge to a process in which power companies are allowed to bid to sell energy to the national grid.

Kilshane’s counsel Tony McBride SC, instructed by Dermot McNamara Solicitors, said the application for an early hearing was because the Northern Ireland grid manager, the Systems Operator of NI , had agreed to postpone the November 21st date for the start of the auction process to November 28th after the Belfast High Court on Friday agreed to grant leave to a Kilshane sister company to challenge the auction process by SONI on similar grounds.

Kilshane was seeking, among other things, an order allowing for a “correction in trade” which will mean the company could be accommodated whether or not the auction had finished before the court gave its decision, he said. Mr McBride said Kilshane would also seek liberty to bring injunction proceedings halting the auction process depending on what happens if the judicial review challenge is heard on December 3rd.
