SONI (System Operator for Northern Ireland) is Northern Ireland’s Transmission System Operator (TSO). We manage the electricity grid to ensure that power can flow from where it is generated to where it is needed.
We don’t generate or sell electricity, rather we balance consumer demand with the generation made available by the companies who produce it.
Our team of experienced, expert engineers manage the electricity grid, second-by-second, every day of the year, to ensure power can flow safely, securely and reliably to homes, farms and businesses across Northern Ireland.
We also plan for Northern Ireland's future energy needs by developing projects to upgrade and enhance the high-voltage electricity grid.
In delivering our role, we are licensed and regulated by the Utility Regulator and we work together to operate the All-Island Single Electricity Market with our counterparts in the Republic of Ireland.

As a responsible retailer, we understand the importance of doing everything we can to help in the fight against climate change and plastic pollution. In addition to the work we’re doing to cut down on emissions, we’re working closely with our suppliers, farmers and growers to protect, restore and enhance nature. From deforestation to soils and water, we want to ensure any footprint we leave is as light as possible. We have been developing new trials over a number of years and are beginning to see some positive results. For example, we have been working with our potato growers over the last few years where we’ve planted biodiversity plots on the land where they drive tractors, which has resulted in the identification of some rare insects inhabiting these areas. We are extending this project to all root vegetables by 2025. Meanwhile, in the world of agriculture we’ve been working with our dairy farmers for over a decade to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy by improving efficiency.
