Uisce Éireann to purchase more generators for back-up power during severe weather events

The issue over back-up power r/generators was first highlighted during the ‘big freeze’ in early January.

Uisce Éireann has given a commitment that it will purchase more generators to provide back-up power after the utility was severely criticised for not being able to keep a number of water and sewerage systems operational during recent severe weather events.

The issue was first highlighted during the ‘big freeze’ in early January and again after main ESB power supplies were cut as a result of the impact of Storm Éowyn later the same month.
