NIE Networks operates the electricity transmission and distribution networks in Northern Ireland, moving power from generation sources to consumers. It serves more than 910,000 customers, including homes, businesses and farms. Based in Belfast, the company is part of the utilities sector and plans to hire hundreds of people over the coming years to support a shift toward renewable energy. In March 2026, NIE Networks began deploying real-time sensors on live transmission lines using drones, the first such deployment on live power lines anywhere in the UK. This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to modernize grid monitoring to support reliable electricity service as the network integrates more renewable generation.
