Energy-driven Cork man leads team to hackathon success

A Cork man who helped develop a cloud-based system to co-ordinate emergency responses to problems on the electricity network, during storms, has won an innovation award.

Glenn Moynihan, from Killeens, Co Cork, led an eight-person team which created the cloud-based platform during the intensive Big Energy Hack which took place in Dublin over 48-hours the weekend before last.

The ESB said it hopes to work with Mr Moynihan over the coming months to further develop and implement the system.
