Rosemary Steen, Director of External Affairs at EirGrid, on RGI:
“We recognise that public acceptance is key when developing the grid. Involvement with organisations such as RGI can help build acceptance for this work. Many of our initiatives are inspired by the work of our European colleagues. We recognise best practice and collaborate with our industry peers on an ongoing basis.”
