Kilbarry Marina works help futureproof Cork's grid

Major works have been completed on the Kilbarry Marina 110 kV overhead line double circuit, a significant piece of high voltage infrastructure providing bulk power to Cork city and surrounding regions. 

This line has undergone a number of refurbishment measures, including the replacement of steel, platforms, access ladders and hardware; painting of the towers; and works on the foundations to extend the lifespan of the double circuit. 

This refurbishment will contribute to futureproofing the grid in the area, delivering a continued reliable supply of electricity to communities in Cork.

EirGrid would like to thank stakeholders, including ESB Networks, for their collaboration on this project.
