ESB Networks

In a first for Ireland, ESB Networks has deployed Ampjack Industries Ltd.'s innovative tower-raising technology as part of the upgrade of the Flagford to Louth 220 kV transmission line, a 100km corridor connecting the west and east of the country. Eleven towers were raised by approximately 2.5 metres while the line remained live, ensuring minimised disruption to customers. This project demonstrates how innovation can help us get more from existing infrastructure, accelerate network upgrades and deliver capacity more efficiently. Brought forward by EirGrid Group, the Flagford to Louth 220 kV transmission line upgrade will support a more resilient, reliable and renewable-powered electricity system, benefiting customers and communities across the Midlands, North-East, West and North-West. Watch the video to see how innovation, collaboration and new approaches are helping make the network work harder for our customers.

Interested in a Flexible Electricity Connection for Your Business? A Flexible Connection may provide an alternative connection option for businesses in areas with limited network capacity. We are currently interested in offering this option to customers who have applied already for a new connection or increase in capacity.

Electricity infrastructure is central to enabling new homes, thriving communities and future economic growth. At Yellowmeadows 110 kV Station in Clondalkin, ESB Networks has reached an important milestone with the installation of two new transformers. Once complete, the project will provide the capacity needed to support approximately 9,000 additional homes across West Dublin, including Cairn Seven Mills. As Ireland focuses on accelerating the delivery of critical infrastructure, projects like Yellowmeadows show how investment in the electricity network is helping to unlock housing, support local development and build a more resilient future for customers and communities. Watch the video to see how our teams are accelerating infrastructure delivery to help power the next phase of growth in West Dublin.

On 27th May, the new 110 kV substation at Bracklone, Co. Laois was energised, marking the first significant project delivered under ESB Network's Price Review 6 (PR6) programme. This is an important development for the Midlands, which will enable new housing, support local businesses and facilitate economic growth in the region, while contributing to Ireland’s transition to a more electrified, low carbon energy system. Watch the video below to hear from the team behind the project, Edwina O'Callaghan (ESB Engineering & Major Projects), Brian Ruairí Gordon (H&MV Engineering) and Danny Browne (ESB Networks), as they share their perspectives on the delivery and impact of Bracklone.
