EirGrid, the operator and developer of the national electricity grid, is set to bring its Energy Citizens Roadshow to Donegal next month.

Led by EirGrid, this free event will bring together experts from SEAI (Ireland’s national sustainable energy authority) and ESB Networks to provide information about home energy efficiency upgrades, retrofitting grants, community micro-generation schemes and initiatives to ensure a sustainable future for Donegal.

The roadshow will take place from 6.15pm to 8.30pm on Thursday, November 6 at The Central Hotel, Donegal Town. 

The Roadshow event comes as EirGrid continues with its public consultation process on our ‘Powering Up the North West’ programme with communities in Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon.

A host of local exhibitors will also be in attendance, showcasing the latest information about home renewable energy upgrades, heat pumps and solar energy.

Speaking ahead of the roadshow, Sinead Dooley, Head of Public Engagement with EirGrid said, “These events are a chance for members of the public and businesses across Donegal to come and hear how they can play an integral role in the future of the grid, while finding out more about all the supports available at a local and national level and I would encourage people to come in and meet us on the night.”

“We also understand people’s concerns regarding energy consumption and the need for savings, so we are pleased to have exhibitors from a range of organisations and community energy groups. We look forward to hearing from industry leaders, community representatives and attendees to share knowledge in working towards achieving our energy goals.”
