‘Ultimately this is about keeping the lights on’

“THE Government wants to be able to give a strong and consistent message to Irish business and multinationals, and to our citizens, that Ireland’s electricity networks are robust, modern and safe,” stated Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte last week.

And EirGrid is the state company charged by the Government with undertaking this task in the interests of all the people.

We have responsibility for ensuring the safe, secure, affordable delivery of power through the national grid, and that is our only motivation. Ultimately this is about keeping the lights on today, tomorrow and in 20 years’ time.
