Ms Graham will be the first woman to be appointed Chair of the ESB. She has been a non-executive member of the Board since 2010 and has been acting Chairperson since the retirement of the former Chairperson in January 2015.
Minister White said: "I am delighted that the Government accepted my recommendation to appoint Ms Graham as the first female Chairperson of the ESB. I believe that her stewardship will contribute to the continued success of the ESB group of companies, which plays an important role in the Irish energy market from generation through to retail energy supply."
