ESB Networks has embarked on a major refurbishment project to upgrade the Flagford to Louth 220kV electricity transmission line, a 100km corridor linking the west and east of Ireland.
ESB Networks is due to complete a significant capacity upgrade at the Pallas 38 kV Station in Portlaoise, Co Laois, strengthening the electricity network to support growing demand across the region.
The transition to a more electrified energy system is a key component of Ireland's climate, energy and transport objectives. As the adoption of electric vehicles, heat pumps, solar PV and battery storage continues to grow, electricity networks across Ireland, the UK and Europe are adapting to meet changing patterns of demand and generation. While many homes can accommodate low carbon technologies without requiring significant changes, not every property and not every part of the electricity network was originally designed to support the levels of electrification envisaged for the coming decades. Understanding this is important in the context of the broader energy transition.
More and more homeowners in Ireland are choosing technologies like EV chargers and heat pumps to reduce their carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency and take greater control of their energy use. If you're considering making the switch, it's worth taking a few simple steps before you invest. While most installations are straightforward, every home is different, and a little planning upfront can help you avoid unexpected costs later.
