customer information natural gas is coming to kinsale
the natural gas network
Bord Gáis Networks constructs and extends the natural gas network in the Republic of Ireland to the
highest safety standards. There are over 640,000 customers in 152 different population centres across
19 counties now connected to the network. Bord Gáis Networks, in conjunction with the Commission
for Energy Regulation (CER), is always looking for new opportunities to extend the existing network
to increase natural gas availability throughout the country.
Bord Gáis Networks can only
service a new area if certain
criteria are met to ensure that the
extension project is economically
viable, including: an assessment
of the future economic profile of
the area; an analysis of capital
expenditure costs; and potential
revenue projections. Kinsale has
met the necessary criteria and,
following regulatory approval
from the CER, Bord Gáis Networks Kells
is now committed to bringing
natural gas to Kinsale.

project overview – bringing natural gas to kinsale
Kinsale will be supplied with natural gas from the Brinny AGI (Above Ground Installation). The Kinsale
project will involve laying a 16.7km feeder main along the R605, via Innishannon, to the edge of
Kinsale town and laying 8km of distribution mains throughout the town. Construction will be carried
out by our designated contractor (GMC Group) on behalf of Bord Gáis Networks.
Construction work will begin in September 2010 and project completion is expected in April 2011.
Prior to the commencement of construction works, and throughout the duration of the project, Bord Gáis
Networks will liaise with all relevant authorities and organisations, such as the Roads and Planning Departments
in Kinsale Town Council, Cork County Council, local businesses and residents adjacent to the pipeline route and all
other stakeholders.
The construction work will involve trench excavation and the laying of natural gas pipelines on streets and roads.
All excavations will be backfilled and all surfaces will be restored. Every effort will be made to keep disruption to
a minimum during construction. To ensure this, pipes and fittings will be stored in agreed sites, and local traffic
management plans will be put in place on the affected routes.
For further information on any aspect of the project, please call 1850 200 694.
