EirGrid has recently completed works in both the east and northwest of the country, with both projects helping to ensure secure energy supplies for the local communities in the surrounding areas.

EirGrid has recently completed uprate works on the Maynooth to Woodland 220 kV line, ensuring a continued secure energy supply for the greater Dublin area.

This work was necessary to facilitate essential maintenance of the 400 kV and 220 kV network, to meet growing demand and support sustained economic development in the region.

The delivery of this project comes despite several challenges along the way, such as managing grid capacity, as the works required onerous double 220kV circuit outages for extended periods.

Thanks to strong collaboration with stakeholders, including ESB Networks and Engineering and Major Projects, these difficulties were overcome to successfully deliver this essential project.

EirGrid also recently completed works to uprate the Binbane to Cathleen Falls 110 kV circuit in Co Donegal.

This circuit has been identified as an Associated Transmission Reinforcement for electricity generation in the North-West.

Adding the capacity of 64.4 MW to the grid in the region, this project will contribute to securing a continued reliable energy supply for local communities.

Thanks to the close collaboration with ESB Networks and all our stakeholders, it has enabled this project to be taken from the planning application stage to energisation in just 24 months.
