Strategic upgrades by ESB Networks are accelerating network capacity for housing and economic growth in Limerick city

The station has been powering Dublin city centre since the 1930s.

ESB Networks has successfully deployed a new batch of Dynamic Line Rating (DLR) sensors on sections of the 220 kV transmission network in north Dublin, using autonomous drone technology to carry out the installations safely on live power lines.

On Friday March 6th, a planned software upgrade to one of our internal systems caused some smart meter readings to be processed incorrectly, this was not related to the integrity of the smart meters themselves, or the way they record energy use.
