We are working alongside ZEVI to investigate the application of electric vehicle charging map based on the most accommodating places for charges to be installed in Ireland. For this work we need an extensive amount of data on the geography of an area including various electric features such as grid capacity and location of power networks. It seems you are the most likely party to have hold of information regarding low or medium voltage power networks for Ireland and so it would be great to have this information, or be told where to find it.

What I'm hoping to get from the ESB is average household and or total Energy Usage by Electoral District for Galway city. The CSO doesn't seem to have any Energy usage by area, only by household type, BER rating. Would it be possibly to get some form of historical report on energy usage by area either electoral Division or CSO Small Area. I'd like to use this data to investigate how energy usage relates to demographics, social class, house prices, education etc, and also correlate the average BER rating to household energy usage.
