Build our Grid is a new campaign that mobilises support for necessary upgrades to Ireland’s electricity grid. Though the campaign is run by Wind Energy Ireland it is supported by a growing number of external organisations including Engineers Ireland, the Irish Solar Energy Association and Chambers Ireland.

Build our Grid highlights the critical role of the electricity grid in securing Ireland’s renewable energy future and encourages public support for necessary upgrade works to ensure Ireland can run on 100% renewable energy.

With EirGrid’s Shaping Our Electricity Future strategy published recently this is the time to raise public support for a strong electricity grid.

The key aims of the campaign are to:

  1. Educate and inform people about the critical role the grid plays in supplying electricity to our homes and businesses;
  2. Show why we need a stronger grid to help us get renewable electricity from the wind and solar farms which produce it to the homes, communities and businesses which use it;
  3. Support the projects and technologies needed to build an electricity grid that can serve as the foundation of a zero-carbon electricity system and of Irish energy independence.
