EirGrid, restoring nature in move towards a cleaner energy future 

EirGrid is building low-carbon reef cubes and ‘fish hotels’, creating a friendly habitat for marine life as it brings biodiversity restoration plans offshore 

In one construction project, EirGrid moved threatened greater knapweed plants out of the working area to a permanent meadow section on the site, an action that will protect these plants long-term, as they are now managed under EirGrid’s ownership, and are not at risk from scrub encroachment as they were pre-construction.

EirGrid, operator and developer of Ireland’s electricity grid, is progressing with measures to protect and restore nature, as it works to decarbonise the electricity grid.
