Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy Prices: Discussion

Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

To come from the sea into shore, there is, with these offshore developments, the need for an offshore substation, which is usually out to sea. Because EirGrid is going to be the offshore transmission asset owner, that is going to be in the ownership of EirGrid. There is also going to be a need for new onshore substations as part of the transmission system reinforcement I mentioned earlier. Those assets will ultimately be owned by ESB Networks as part of that.
