Electricity to residential properties in the Curragh Camp is supplied through a private/military network within the Camp. Because of the nature of the supply from the ESB into the Camp extensive work would have to be undertaken to put in new connections from the ESB networks directly to the residential properties in order to enable the allocation of meter point reference numbers. This, given the small number of residential users, would not be viable as there would be substantial infrastructure costs involved.
In relation to changing suppliers, you should also be aware that the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) issues tenders periodically to ensure that best value for money is obtained when purchasing electricity for use within the public sector. Electricity is supplied to all of the Camp through the OGP contract.
