No. If the trees or vegetation that require cutting is within 6 meters of electricity wires or electrical equipment, you can apply for a free tree cutting assessment through your  ESB Networks Online Account. Once you have completed your application, we will arrange to assess the location within 4-6 weeks. The assessment will determine whether the timber will need to be cut by you, the customer, or by ESB Networks.
