EirGrid - Public information event The Evergreen Club Wednesday 3rd May from 1-8pm

 The TRA received the following communication from EirGrid:

 

Hi there, EirGrid launched a public consultation on Powering Up Dublin – an underground cable replacement programme. As part of the consultation, we are seeking feedback from local resident’s associations on twelve route options which are now available to view on EirGrid.ie/dublin. These routes are called the Emerging Best Performing Route Options. The consultation period runs until Tuesday 23^rd May 2023. One of the best performing route options, Option J goes through the Terenure area. We would be delighted if you could share this information with residents.

Powering Up Dublin

EirGrid, develops, manages and operates Ireland’s electricity grid. We are leading the secure transition of Ireland’s electricity grid to a low carbon, renewable future. And we are responsible for the safe, secure, and reliable supply of Ireland’s electricity.

Dublin’s electricity is ageing and reaching its end of life. Work must be done to transform and modernise the city’s electricity infrastructure so Dublin can continue to develop and thrive, while increasingly using power from renewable sources.

We are installing over 50km of cables across Dublin to replace existing cables that are coming to their end of life.  We will also upgrade a number of substations to support Dublin’s electricity network. These new cables will be underground, and they will connect 5 electricity substations located around Dublin.

We have carried out studies to identify new underground cable routes that will link the following electricity substations to each other:

• North Wall and Poolbeg
• Finglas and North Wall
• Poolbeg and Carrickmines
• Two cables linking Inchicore and Poolbeg

 

We are consulting on twelve emerging best performing route options for each new cable route and we are seeking feedback on our plans.

Have your say at one of our in-person events, online or by email.

Please visit our website EirGrid.ie/dublin to find out more and submit your views online at Consult.EirGrid.ie

I would be delighted to meet you at our public information events or information clinics please drop by and meet the team to find out more information on our plans. Please let me know if you require any further information. Looking forward to meeting you .
