Public’s view sought on energy strategy

The public will have a chance to express its view on Ireland’s future power network after EirGrid asked for submissions on its new draft strategy.

People will now have eight weeks to make submissions after the publication of the strategy, entitled Your Grid, Your Views, Your Tomorrow. A Discussion Paper on Ireland’s Grid Development Strategy’.

The ultimate cost of the programme is anticipated to be €2.7bn to €3.9bn, dependent on the options used in the redevelopment of the power grid.
