ESB Networks has marked a key milestone at the Yellowmeadows 110 kV/MV Station in Clondalkin with the successful installation of two new transformers.

When fully completed, the upgrade will deliver additional electricity network capacity for about 9,000 new homes across West Dublin, including the emerging Seven Mills neighbourhood.

The investment will also benefit communities in Clondalkin, Balgaddy, Grange Castle and Semperit, supporting new housing delivery and wider economic development across the area.

Donal O'Shea, Project Manager, Engineering and Major Projects, ESB Networks, said: "This investment at Yellowmeadows is an important step in supporting the continued growth of West Dublin, helping to provide the capacity needed for new homes, businesses and future development. By strengthening the network, we are helping ensure it can keep pace with growing demand across West Dublin while continuing to provide a reliable and resilient supply for customers."

Cairn is among the developers set to connect through Yellowmeadows, with around 5,500 of its homes expected to benefit as part of the broader 9,000-home capacity enabled by the station.

Diarmaid Tierney, Head of Building Services at Cairn, said: "Reliable infrastructure plays an important role in bringing new homes to life. Approximately 15,000 people living in 5,500 new homes at Seven Mills will be connected through this station, making Yellowmeadows a key enabler of housing delivery in the area. Ultimately, projects like this help lay the foundations for thriving communities where people can live, work and build their futures."
