Network Resilience
Our Innovation Projects
Our Innovation Strategy Framework is applied to a balanced portfolio of projects covering three pillars that broadly define the scope of work and the areas where we need to deliver new and improved services.
The three new pillars; Future Customer, Climate Action and Network Resilience align with our new business strategy and reflect the objectives of CRU’s SIF incentive mechanism.
ESB Networks acknowledges the dynamic nature of innovation and the need to be flexible to address future challenges which may emerge. Therefore, ESB Networks expects to see more adjustments to the projects included in each pillar as policy priorities emerge, changes in customer behaviour manifest themselves, and forecasts for generation, flexibility and low-carbon load become more certain.
