Powering Up Dublin - Business Forum Information Day

Dúnta5 M.F., 2022, 09:00 - 27 M.F., 2022, 09:00

What is Powering Up Dublin?

We are installing up to 50km of cables across the city. Some cables will replace existing cables and some will be new. We will also upgrade some electricity substations and build new substations to support Dublin's electricity network.

Most of the cables operated by EirGrid in Dublin are underground. These cables connect the various electricity substations located around Dublin. The options we considered focus on specific cables that need to be replaced and particular substations that need additional connections to each other. 

The Powering Up Dublin Business Forum is hoping to bring together people and organisations across the Greater Dublin Area so that local businesses and business representatives views can be discussed, understood, and properly considered prior to and during Powering Up Dublin project delivery. This Business Forum will create the opportunity for dialogue between stakeholders with diverse and direct interest in the project and the EirGrid project team.
