"Workers on rail link may be forced to stop work during peak times, officials warned"
"Major transport projects are at risk of being delayed due to the huge demand already being placed on the energy grid."
"Documents obtained by the Sunday Independent show that senior government planners have been warned that projects such as MetroLink, the expansion of the Dart service and Busconnects will place even greater pressure on the electricity system."
Major transport projects face potential delays because the national electricity grid is already under significant demand. Senior government planners have been warned that projects such as MetroLink, the expansion of the Dart service and BusConnects will add further pressure to the electricity system. Peak-time electricity constraints could require construction workers on rail links to stop work during high-demand periods, risking schedule disruptions and cost increases. Delays could cascade across multiple projects, affecting public transit capacity and timelines. Mitigation may require scheduling changes, temporary curtailment during peaks, grid reinforcement investment, or phased project delivery.
