Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

The management of connections to the electricity grid is a matter for EirGrid and ESB Networks under rules determined by the Commission for Regulation Utilities (CRU), which is an independent statutory body. This is an operational matter for the Management of ESB Networks and is therefore not a matter in which the Minister has a statutory function.
