EirGrid is proposing to reinforce the network in the general Laois-Kilkenny region. We plan to achieve this through the development of a new transmission line between the two counties.
An Bord Pleanála has granted planning approval for the Laois-Kilkenny Reinforcement Project.
EirGrid will be working with ESB Networks to further develop this important project. Construction is due to commence in late 2015 or early 2016.
