## Resource

ESB Networks just unleashed a major energy upgrade at Limerick’s Dock Road substation, installing the first of two powerful new transformers—each adding 18.75 megavolt-amperes—to future-proof the city’s grid. Set for live deployment in late 2026 and early 2027, the pair will deliver a total boost of 27.5 megavolt-amperes, fueling Limerick’s explosive growth in homes, businesses, and industry. This isn’t just about powering today—it’s a strategic leap toward supporting green tech like heat pumps and EVs, aligning with Ireland’s climate goals while building a smarter, stronger national energy backbone.
