Grid Development

Minutes from the March 2024 meeting of the Laois-Kilkenny Community Forum

T​he Transmission Development Plan 2024 (TDP 2024) details the grid development projects that are being undertaken by EirGrid to guide investment in the Irish transmission network between 2024 and 2033.

Leagtar béim mhór ar chumhacht na gaoithe amach ón gcósta sa Phlean Gníomhaithe ar son na hAeráide 2023, agus gealltanas Rialtas na hÉireann go dtiocfaidh suas le 80% d’fhuinneamh na tíre ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite faoi dheireadh 2030. | The Government of Ireland’s Climate Action Plan 2023 places offshore wind power at the centre of the State’s commitment to producing 80% of our energy from renewable sources by 2030.

Tá ról lárnach ag an gcósta theas maidir le fuinneamh amach ón gcósta a chur chun cinn in Éirinn san am atá le teacht agus maidir le heangach leictreachais inbhuanaithe a chruthú le go mbeimid níos neamhspleáiche ó thaobh an fhuinnimh de. Leagtar béim mhór ar chumhacht na gaoithe amach ón gcósta sa Phlean Gníomhaithe ar son na hAeráide 2023, agus gealltanas Rialtas na hÉireann go dtiocfaidh suas le 80% d’fhuinneamh na tíre ó fhoinsí in-athnuaite faoi dheireadh 2030.

Le tionscadal an idirnascaire Cheiltigh cruthófar idirnasc leictreachais idir Éire agus an Fhrainc chun malartú leictreachais idir an dá thír a éascú. Déanfaidh an nasc an fostáisiún leictreachais atá ann faoi láthair i gCnoc Rátha (in oirthear Chorcaí) a cheangal leis an bhfostáisiún in La Martyre (Finistère, an Fhrainc).

Laois Kilkenny Community Forum Meeting Minutes from December 2023

In order to strengthen the electricity network in the east of Meath and the north of Dublin, EirGrid is proposing to develop a high-capacity 400 kV underground electricity cable between Woodland substation, near Batterstown in Co Meath, and Belcamp substation, near Clonshaugh in north Dublin. This project is referred to as the East Meath-North Dublin Grid Upgrade, or CP1021.
