📣In April, we announced a €50 million investment in the Southern Area Network Upgrade project. This is to improve energy resilience in the South of the country, meet winter peak demand and support ongoing economic growth in the region. 🔵The project involves separating the gas transmission network between Dublin-Galway-Limerick, and Dublin-Cork. 🔵 The Dublin-Galway-Limerick transmission pipeline (Pipeline To The West) will be upgraded to its full pressure of 85 bar, compared to the current 70 bar, so that more gas can be moved through the line. 🔵The Cork-Dublin transmission pipeline will continue to operate at its current maximum pressure of 70 bar. 🔵Works to separate the ring-main into two different pressure tiers will be contained within our existing Above Ground Installations at Baldrumman in Co. Dublin and Goatisland in Co. Limerick. 🚧Construction is being led by our partner Murphy, with works ongoing throughout the year and additional capacity due to come on stream next winter.
