EirGrid to Host Energy Citizens Roadshow Event in Navan

EirGrid, the operator and developer of Ireland’s electricity grid, is set to host an energy citizens roadshow in Navan on 1st March next.

The information event will inform local communities across Meath about how EirGrid plans to future-proof the electricity grid, while ESB Networks will outline its role in connecting microgeneration, and a series of initiatives titled ‘Beat the Peak’.

Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), will advise on home energy upgrades and retrofitting grants and Meath County Council will outline the need for continued regional development opportunities.

The EirGrid Energy Citizens Roadshow takes place on Wednesday, March 1 at The Ardboyne Hotel, Navan, from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

Along with a panel of experts, including SEAI, ESB Networks and Meath County Council, the roadshow will include a host of exhibitors showcasing the latest information about home energy efficiency upgrades.

Speaking ahead of the roadshow events, Sinead Dooley, head of public engagement, EirGrid said: “This event is an opportunity for the public to hear about the integral role that County Meath continues to play in the future of the electricity grid and security of supply.”

“We also understand people’s concerns regarding energy consumption and the need for savings, and we are pleased to have exhibitors from a range of organisations, such as SEAI, who can provide information regarding local and national supports.”

The nationwide Government of Ireland ‘Reduce Your Use’ campaign, #ReduceYourUse, gives practical advice on how families, households and businesses can save money by promoting and encouraging energy efficiency. It also highlights the Government supports that are available to help with rising energy costs.

“We look forward to hearing inputs from communities, industry leaders, and to share knowledge in working towards achieving our energy ambitions,” added Dooley.
