Successful Completion of the Ballyragget-Coolnabacky 110kV Line

We are proud to announce the successful completion of the Ballyragget-Coolnabacky 110kV Line. The Gaeltec Overheadline Transmission team in partnership with ESB’s Laois-Kilkenny HV reinforcement team, commenced the greenfield, new-build project in August 2023. The Gaeltec Utilities team constructed the line, starting from Tower 1 Ballyragget 220kV Station in Co. Kilkenny, extending to Tower 85 at Spink in Co. Laois, with works taking place in farmland and some sections of forestry.

The new line was strung with 430-millimetre square ACSR with 2 x ACS Shieldwires. It consists of 85 pole structures and 12 steel towers.

Congratulations to all involved.
