Anailísí Sinsearach Cibearshlándála/ Cyber Security Senior Analyst (E2025286)

Is muide a fheidhmíonn eangach leictreachais na hÉireann. Feidhmíonn muid an córas cumhachta le leibhéil den scoth ginte in-athnuaite aisioncronaigh athraithigh, le cinntiú go mbíonn cumhacht ag gach duine nuair a theastaíonn sé uathu. Ach ní hé sin bun agus barr an scéil, tá muid anois ag tabhairt faoi chlaochlú an chórais chumhachta do na glúnta inár ndiaidh.

Agus níl ansin ach an tús.  Tá cuspóir tábhachtach againn. Is é sin claochlú an chórais chumhachta le cur ar chumas ár sochaí astaíochtaí carbóin a laghdú agus ár spriocanna athraithe aeráide agus neodrachta a bhaint amach.
