The Dingle Project assessed the role of localised initiatives such as the Ambassador Programme and the electric vehicle trial, in supporting wider diffusion of technology and active energy citizen behaviours across the local community. This report also suggests a template for engaging and empowering communities towards low carbon transformation which could be explored in other areas and communities beyond Dingle.

The purpose of this “Expression of Interest (EOI) for Radical Innovation Project Ideas” is to encourage our stakeholders to provide input and ideas in the radical space to add to our existing portfolio of ESB Networks Innovation projects. This is to support our target for 5% radical projects across ESB Networks innovation portfolio.

This document provides an opportunity to:

• Provide your input and ideas on radical innovation projects to add to our existing ESB Networks Innovation portfolio.
• Provide a background to the call and details the portfolio split of innovation projects across the 3 broad horizons of innovation: Incremental, Breakthrough and Radical.

Please submit your expression of interest, either using the form embedded in the document, or directly to InnovationFeedback@esbnetworks.ie , by close of business on 31st August 2022.

The purpose of this document is to report, in summary, projects that have come through the initial assessment and are currently in ESB Networks’ pipeline of possible future innovation projects as detailed in our Innovation consultation “Innovating to Transform the Electricity Network”.
