EirGrid�s Grid25 strategy is not related in any way to current draft proposals by private developers to export renewable energy to Great Britain.

This document cover 4 main topics 1. Conduct a comprehensive underground analysis for the Grid Link and Grid West projects.2. Implement a Community Gain Fund encompassing a fund for localities and one for residences located close to new pylons and stations. 3. Continue to monitor research developments and provide information on health and power lines. 4. Comprehensively address major issues arising such as tourism, agriculture and equine concerns.

Document details the inaccurate commentary which suggested the EirGrid East West Interconnector was put underground as a result of health concerns.

EirGrid announced the emerging preferred route corridor for the Grid West project. The chosen 1km wide corridor, which will accommodate a new power line, starts north west of Moygownagh, runs west of Ballina, east of Foxford and Swinford, south of Charlestown and Ballaghaderreen before linking into the existing Flagford substation, near Carrick-on-Shannon.

EirGrid published a significant report on the Grid Link Project identifying a number of feasible 1km wide route corridor options for a new 400kV overhead power line linking Leinster and Munster.

The purpose of this Lead Consultant�s Stage 1 Report is to draw together the work completed as part of Stage 1 of EirGrid�s
Project Development Road Map for the Grid Link Project.
