ESK completed a new 38KVA station serving the town of New Ross for the ESB in conjunction with Gaeltec utilities which became live in 2021 replacing the old Station.
ESK have completed 10 electricity pylons so far this year on the national grid for private and public entities to facilitate the connection of new sub-stations to the Gid. The sub-structure works were all undertaken working beneath the live overhead lines working under designed height restriction. ESK has completed works to Meta substation and in 2022 ESK completed the civil engineering works in Lisheen 110KVA to sub divide the station for future connections.
