Printed by W&G Baird Friday 17th, November 2023 Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin As we approach the end of 2024 we are pleased to be marking 12 years of successful publication for ELECTRIC.IE And what a vibrant, fast-paced year it has been for our industry overall! With ongoing Tech Talks, a bustling calendar of trade shows, and a wide range of industry events, 2024 has brought exceptional momentum to the Irish electrical sector. Business reports are strong, and all signs indicate that this positive trajectory will continue into 2025. Biggest highlight of the season is just around the corner—the IEBA Winter Ball, annual event taking place on November 15th at the Intercontinental Hotel in Ballsbridge. This year’s 007 James Bond theme promises an unforgettable evening of elegance and celebration. The Winter Ball remains one of the industry’s most anticipated gatherings, a festive tradition that brings professionals together in support of the Irish Electrical Benevolent Association. This spirit of community was also on full display on September 20th at the inaugural “Dash of the Derg.” Over 200 industry professionals took to their bikes, pedalling the picturesque route around Lough Derg, to raise funds for the IEBA. With over €30,000 collected so far, this cycling event not only showed the strength of our community but also set a promising precedent for future editions. ELECTRIC .IE was delighted to be on the ground to capture memories of a very enjoyable day. Congratulations to all who supported this day. The year has also seen significant shifts within the sector, with new faces and strategic developments across several companies. Hager welcomes Luke Killeen as their new Sales Engineer (see page 7), and Unicrimp Ireland brings on Keith Nealon as their new Area Sales Manager (page 10). Legrand’s recent membership in EMDA ( Electrical Distributors and Manufacturers Association), coupled with the opening of their Dublin office and showroom, marks an exciting time for the company (also on page 10). In addition, ATC has launched an Energy Efficient Showroom and Academy, showcasing their commitment to education and sustainable technology (page 12). Inter-Konnect has just released a brand-new catalogue, and we’ve also covered ABB’s Innovation Day 2024 (page 21). On a regulatory front, we note a critical update from the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI). The release of I.S. 10101:2020+A1:2024—an important amendment to the National Rules for Electrical Installations—is now fully published in Iris Oifigiúil. As we reflect on an eventful year, we are grateful to our readers, partners, and contributors who continue to make Electric.ie a trusted voice in the industry. Here’s to more growth, innovation, and connection in the year ahead. We wish all our supporters, advertisers and readers a happy and prosperous new year.
