Gas Networks Ireland is executing a €3 billion investment program to enhance its 14,758km gas infrastructure, essential for meeting Ireland's energy demands. Capital expenditure is projected to increase from €200 million in 2025 to €237 million in 2026, focusing on maintaining and expanding the gas network.

The new Central Grid Injection facility in Mitchelstown will inject 700GWh of renewable biomethane annually, contributing to a 12% share of Ireland's 2030 biomethane target. Additionally, eight out of 13 planned peaker power stations have been constructed to support high demand, with a goal of providing two gigawatts of gas connections by 2030.
