The Dingle project

The Dingle Project

In 2018, a highly innovative 3-year project was established which focused on the deployment and assessment of the impact and role of a range of new technologies, in the development of a smart resilient, low carbon electricity network.

The renewable and clean energy enabling technologies installed at trial participants' properties included:

• Solar PV Systems
• Residential-scale battery energy storage systems
• Air Source Heat Pumps
• Electric Vehicles, Smart EV chargers and bi-directional (V2G) chargers 
• Home Energy Monitoring Systems

The project also trialled a number of smart devices on the electrical network to enhance its reliability. 

ESB Networks collaborated with local communities to explore both the impact and capabilities of new low carbon technologies on the distribution network
