Powering Up Dublin - Central Dublin Substation Development Project Information Event

As part of the Powering Up Dublin programme, a new 220 kV/110 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) has been identified as the best solution to address the city’s growing electricity demand. This GIS will be looped into one of the existing 220 kV circuits in the North Inner City.

Stakeholder and landowner engagement in the area over the last number of months has resulted in the identification of one site as a feasible option for the construction of the station.

The location is a vacant ESB owned carpark and brown field site on East Wall Road. The location is approximately 50m from the Finglas – Shellybanks 220 kV circuit which runs along the northern side of the M50. It is proposed to construct a 220 kV/110 kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) at this site.

EirGrid will be holding pop-up information events to provide members of the public with information on the Central Dublin Substation Development.
