We will be undertaking vital improvements to the network in the Dromore, Hillsborough and Banbridge area in early August. This work will maintain and upgrade a key part of overhead line infrastructure in the locality.
This major investment is essential to ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply for both domestic and business customers in the future. The work involves replacing approx 50km of overhead conductors, pole changes and some tree cutting if necessary and may last for approximately 12 months.
The work will require a number of planned interruptions to the electricity supply, however, we will do everything we can to keep these to a minimum. Advance notification will be given if electricity supply will is affected.
We are committed to working collaboratively with customers and stakeholders to ensure the success of our projects while addressing the needs of all involved. NIE Networks and contracting partners will be in contact with all landowners prior to works prospectively commencing to discuss any concerns or queries that you may have.
We understand that planned supply interruptions may cause inconvenience, and we thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation as we carry out these essential upgrades.
