Consultation On Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade Continues

EirGrid is progressing well with its public consultation regarding the Kildare-Meath Grid Upgrade.

A total of six information days will take place over the next two weeks, giving members of the public a chance to engage and shape the project.

These events come after the emerging best performing route option for the project was announced earlier this month. The 400kV underground cable will connect Dunstown Substation in Kildare and Woodland Substation in Meath. 

EirGrid's project team will be coming to six locations across Kildare and Meath from 29 March to 07 April, to answer any questions and hear the views of the public as the team works towards finalising a route in June.

Speaking about the upcoming information days, Sinead Dooley, Head of Public Engagement with EirGrid said: "These information days are an essential part of engaging with communities. We understand that gathering feedback from people on this project in their locality will ensure the best decisions are made.

"We look forward to meeting with the public and encourage people to come out to meet our team and share their views on the latest step of this project."

The EirGrid project team will be at The Grange in Sallins on 29 March; Kilcock GAA Club on 30 March and Two Mile House GAA Club on 31 March. The following week the team will visit Batterstown GAA Club on 05 April; Naas Sports Centre on 06 April and Prosperous Parish Centre on 07 April.

The team will be available from 11am to 5pm each day to answer any of the public's questions and to receive feedback about the emerging best performing route option.
