Projects
We are always developing the electricity grid for future needs. Getting the grid renewable ready helps our plans to move to a low carbon future, but it also helps ensure a secure, reliable electricity supply.
Projects in your area![people at EirGrid information day](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.eirgrid.ie%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fstyles%2Fimage_768x768%2Fpublic%2F2023-08%2Fcitizens%2520at%2520Mayo%2520information%2520day.jpg%3Fitok%3DD8Ya10aB&w=1920&q=75)
Engaging the Public
Public contributions to our plans can be crucial. We really value local knowledge and insight. And your support can make all the difference to achieving Ireland's climate action targets and securing our electricity supply.
