"Through working closely with Irish Grid Solutions on our projects throughout the Island of Ireland, we have found IGS to be very professional, knowledgeable and progressive on all grid related matters, which so often prove a difficult obstacle on individual wind farm projects. We would consider IGS to be a valuable asset to any wind farm development team." Doreen Walker, DW Consultancy
"I have found Irish Grid Solutions excellent to work with on my Gate 2 project. Their in-depth technical expertise and guidance on all areas of grid connection has been fantastic. Most importantly I have found IGS to be extremely approachable, clear with advice and their no nonsense approach has been invaluable when wading through the grid connection process." Kate
McCarthy, Ballynancoran Wind Farm
