I am seeking information under AIE and FOI about any and all communications, including meetings, emails and phone conversations, between the ESB Networks DSO  and Ballycar Green Energy https://ballycargreenenergy.ie/ regarding the proposed development of a 12 turbine windfarm in Meelick Co.

Discussions on proposed route for transmission cables, either over ground or underground, tree-felling, timescale, how far advanced the planning of the distribution network for this project is, all relevant information is requested please, as soon as possible.  Has an ECP application commenced?

Further to the Freedom of Information Act (2014), we request copies of all records created since 1 January 2018 relating to an ESB mini-pillar (and any related electrical infrastructure) located in the grounds of Ballinlough House, Churchyard Lane, Ballinlough, Cork T12 T280 (folio CK 165055F).

Under the Freedom of Information act I am looking for records covering: Legal fees paid by the organisation in utilising legal firms and consultancy firms to consult on and answer FOI requests and appeals of FOI requests including appeals to the Office of the Information Commissioner in the past 5 years. I am happy to clarify or amend this request

I am doing some research to evaluate the possibility of creating a solar power generation business and as part of this came across your generation map. Unfortunately, the data is severely outdated. Could you kindly update the data or point me to an alternative data source that is equivalent? 

I wish to request the following information-

Information relating to ESB poles in Inchicore Dublin 8.

How often are the ESB lamp posts inspected for maintenance? 

What is the annual maintenance routine for ESB poles in Inchicore on these roads? 

This information is requested by a group of local residents of Inchicore, Dublin 8 who live in and around these streets. 

When was the last date of a maintenance inspection by ESB of these poles?

I wish to access records regarding the erecting of reflectors on the ESB power line that passes through the townlands of Sharragh and Lissernane, co. Tipperary.  I am specifically looking to access the record of the year the reflectors were erected and confirm that they were erected in response to the number of bird strikes on that power line.

All records in relation to the government decision on July 14 2009 to take a dividend from ESB and task CRU with distributing it to Large Energy Users via the ESB Network. I would like to limit the search to the period between 1 June 2009 and 31 December 2010 (when any remaining funds were apparently transferred from an ESB account to the CRU’s Carbon Revenue Levy Account).

This was a matter for the ESB in so far as records concern its functions under its Distribution System Operator (“DSO”) licence. A copy of the CER’s decision is attached. A section relates to the “implementation of a rebate scheme, funded by ESB, that operated through the electricity network tariffs from 1st January 2009.”

This request should include but not be limited to:

• Any related correspondence between the then ESB and DECC (then DECNR)
• Any related correspondence between the then ESB and CRU (then CER)
• Any related correspondence between the then ESB and the Department for Finance/DPER (which wasn’t existing then but the relevant functions might have moved later)
• Any related internal reports, reports to CER/CRU or ministers, records of meetings, minutes, and financial accounts related to the use of the €176m in question.
