The Laois-Kilkenny reinforcement scheme will address the concerns on the network in the local area and will ensure that the system performs in compliance with the grid’s technical standards. Such regional developments can be seen in the context of EirGrid’s Grid Development Strategy, Grid 25.

Grid 25 is a long term strategy to put in place a safe, secure, and affordable electricity supply throughout Ireland, supporting economic growth and providing a roadmap to a bright future for renewable and sustainable energy.

For an overview of this initiative, please look at the Grid25 section.

All regions require a reliable, high quality standard of electricity supply to ensure that both the present and future needs of householders, farms, small and medium sized businesses and industrial customers are met.

A strong electricity network will provide this and this particular project will enable the whole region to be on a level playing field in terms of its ability to cater for existing consumers adequately but also to attract and retain job-creating high-tech industries and services.
