Applicants say reasons were not given for their refusals to be allowed bid, claiming breach of fair procedure
EirGrid had “no duty” to provide reasons for why it excluded three companies from an “electricity auction” where companies bid to be allowed to supply the national grid, the High Court has heard.
Tony McBride SC, for Kilshane, told Mr Justice Micheál O’Higgins that his client planned to build two 299MW power plants at Huntstown in north County Dublin but was refused access to the auction.Marian Price sues Disney over Say Nothing depiction of Jean McConville killing Two related energy firms, Coolpowra Flex Gen Ltd and Coolpowra Bess Ltd, have brought similar proceedings against EirGrid and the CRU relating to projects in east Galway.The applicants argue that reasons were not given to them for the refusals to be allowed to bid at the auction. They claim this was a breach of fair procedures.
Counsel said that Kilshane and Coolpowra had both complained that reasons for the refusals had not been furnished but that it was not for EirGrid to advise bidders or to act in a way that would improve bids. “This is not their first rodeo, and nor is it Eirgrid’s. All these people know what they are doing. It is not appropriate to say the standard is too high and then ask what one must do to meet it,” said counsel.
