COVER STORY
– towards electricity, particularly from renewable sources, and because of the growing expansion of electricity-based applications such as data centres. THE SHIFT IS UNDERWAY Across Europe, and notably here in Ireland, the race toward a low-carbon economy is no longer a distant aspiration. Electrification is at the core of national decarbonisation strategies, impacting everything from transport and housing to utilities and heavy industry. For Precision Cables, the challenge is clear: support the rapid, safe and intelligent rollout of the infrastructure needed to make electrification a reality. As electricity becomes the dominant form of energy, the demands placed on cabling systems are evolving. Today’s electrical grids are no longer one-way systems, they are dynamic, multi-source ecosystems that must handle inputs from wind farms, solar arrays, battery storage and consumer- level technologies such as EVs and heat pumps. This complexity places the cable supply chain front and centre in
discussions around performance, safety and sustainability. At Precision Cables, we see this transition not just as a challenge, but as an opportunity to lead. WHAT ELECTRIFICATION DEMANDS – AND HOW WE DELIVER The needs of electrification projects differ significantly from legacy infrastructure builds. These projects require: • High-performance materials capable of withstanding variable loads and extreme environments. • Scalable solutions that can expand with energy demand and urban growth. • Fire-resistant and low-smoke cables to meet the latest building and safety regulations. • Smart-enabled cabling prepared for future digital grid integration and asset tracking. To meet these needs, Precision Cables sources from global leaders and offers tailored advisory services to consultants, contractors and public sector clients. It supports the full lifecycle of infrastructure
from early-stage specification to on-site technical support. The company is also contributing to Ireland’s green transition by supplying: • Medium and low-voltage cables for offshore wind farm connections. • LV power and data cables for EV charging networks and depots. • CPR-rated building wire for electrified public buildings and smart homes. • Custom solutions for district heating control, lighting systems and renewable interconnects.
INNOVATION, DELIVERED LOCALLY
As new cable technologies emerge, from lightweight HVDC to recyclable insulations, Precision Cables is investing in knowledge transfer, fast lead times and stock availability, giving Irish specifiers confidence when planning for the future. Precision Cables is more than a supplier, it’s a strategic partner in the electrification of Ireland. Its role is not just to deliver cables, but to help design and power the infrastructure that will support generations to come.
