Utility Project Construction in Ireland Industry Data and Analysis
The Utility Project Construction industry is responsible for building, upgrading, maintaining and repairing Ireland's utility infrastructure. State-owned enterprises, like Uisce Éireann and EirGrid, are the primary buying markets and make investment decisions based on Ireland's gross government debt, population growth and developments throughout Ireland’s energy value chain. While the government capital expenditure budget largely dictates revenue prospects, some infrastructure development relies on private equity involvement, particularly within the renewable energy and telecommunications market. Maintenance works cater for excessive wear and tear associated with Ireland's heavily used electricity network. Revenue is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 9.7% over the five years through 2026 to €1.2 billion, including a 3.2% hike in 2026.
