Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Engagement with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities

Ms Karen Trant:

Yes. The ESB made us aware of that around three weeks ago. It discovered there was an issue with the transformers on the site and they had been recording an underusage of consumption. The ESB is investigating that and has continued to investigate it. We want to know that it is not systemic and is isolated to that particular site. The ESB is working within the market processes to ensure that money is paid by the supplier and also by the customer. It will be paid back.
