Maintaining critical services and protecting public health during Covid-19
We have all seen what COVID-19 is doing to our society, our economy, our workplaces and our healthcare system. First-hand experience and stories in the media remind us of the scale of the challenge. We are all concerned for our loved ones, especially those most vulnerable, and each of us is stepping up to play our part in containing the virus.
In ESB we know that electricity is providing vital support for everyone right now. It underpins many critical front-line services, and sustains our ability to live, work and stay connected from home. That’s why we are taking steps in line with Government measures to balance the provision of essential energy supplies with our need to keep our employees and the communities we serve, safe and healthy. We are doing this knowing that many of our customers are in their homes, working remotely, dealing with illness or self-isolating to flatten the curve.
We remain focused on looking after our customers and employees, providing secure and safe electricity to the people of Ireland. We will stay connected to families, communities and businesses all over the country and will support the fight against Covid-19.
We thank you for your co-operation and patience, and we wish you and your family continued safety during this very challenging period.
