East Meath-North Dublin Grid Upgrade

Posted by Reach Active

Belcamp 220kV substation is an existing substation in the Clonshaugh area of County Dublin around 7km from Dublin city centre. This substation is also of strategic importance in the electricity transmission grid, as it will accommodate further grid development projects in the coming years. This 220kV substation needs to be extended and a new 400kV substation needs to be built using the land beside the existing building. The works will improve power quality and support future renewable generation, including offshore renewables, and growing electricity demand in the north Dublin area.
