Major upgrades of the electricity network across Galway will get underway next week. (22/9)

The works represent an investment of more than €5m, and will replace poles and other powerline components.

The ESB says it’ll provide a more resilient network, and greater protection against severe weather events.

The works will take place on an area-by-area based between next week and January 2026.

There will be some disruption during that time, but customers affected by planned outages will be notified in advance.
