From my experience of utilities, if someone is going abroad with IDA Ireland and visiting a major investor into Ireland something we always speak about is the stability of our electricity grid system. The level of outage is very low, particularly given some of the stormy weather we have. Investment in fault location is a critical part of keeping the figure low, not just for safety but performance standards. I would have thought being good at this is mission critical.
