Dublin North Fringe Project

Dublin North Fringe

EirGrid is the state-owned independent electricity transmission system operator and market operator in Ireland.

It is EirGrid’s role to develop quality connection, transmission and market services to electricity generators, suppliers and customers utilising the high voltage electricity system.

In this capacity, EirGrid is proposing a new 220 kV electricity transmission station to reinforce the electricity infrastructure system currently serving the Dublin North City and County Area (Dublin North Fringe).

The new site will be located within the study area shown. This study area broadly runs along the N32 and is bounded by the M1 Motorway, the Dublin Belfast Railway line and to the North by both Baskin Lane and Chapel Road.

EirGrid has retained a consultant team in order to identify a preferred site within the study area. The consultant’s preferred site is along the N32 in the Belcamp area and information on this site location is on our project website and will also be available at the public consultation day.

Please note the study area falls into two jurisdictions which are Fingal County and Dublin City. As such Dublin North Fringe will refer to the northern part of Dublin City and the area in the southern section of Fingal county council.
