NIE Networks are carrying out essential work on the electricity network in the Saintfield area over the next 12 months.
NIE Networks and contracting partners will be working continuously from 11th August to enhance the electricity infrastructure aiming to strengthen long term supply. This involves re-stringing overhead conductors, replacing poles and upgrading services. During this time, there may be restricted access to areas where we will be working and also traffic management will be in place to facilitate the works.
In order for the work to be carried out access to properties may be necessary. Should this be the case, everyone affected will be contacted in advance to arrange a suitable time prior to any scheduled works. This work may also necessitate planned interruptions to the electricity supply depending on the location which we will keep to a minimum as much as possible. If power is to be interrupted, notification will be given in advance of the planned outage.
If you would like to find out more please come along to our information event on Thursday 07 August 2025. Our team will be available between 2:00pm and 6:00pm at Saintfield Community Centre, 29 Belfast Rd, Saintfield, BT24 7EP to help with any queries you may have.
