Editor's desk
Hello and welcome
to the Aug/Sept issue of EM.
A NUMBER of very interesting events took place over the Summer in ESB's House 29, or ‘No. 29’ as it is more commonly known, and a flavour of some of these events is included in this issue of EM.
To those of you who know No. 29, you will be familiar with the wonderful work being carried out there by Pauline, Kieran and the team. The love with which they take care of the treasures entrusted to them is amazing and each and every team member goes the extra mile to make the experience of your visit truly enjoyable.
Besides a tour of the house itself, there is an introductory video for visitors that describes the house and its history. You can browse in the shop located in the basement and pick up some wonderful Irish souvenirs to take home. Whether on a tour of the house, or if you are just passing by, you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the lovely tea room and sample some of the delicacies sourced by the staff.
No. 29 has played host to many internal and external events over the years and is a terrific backdrop for cultural events in particular.
It also welcomes thousands of visitors each year and is of course very well appointed at the corner of Mount Street, Lower Fitzwilliam Street and Merrion Square.
To those of you not familiar with No. 29, make sure you put it on your ‘things to do’ list and visit at your earliest occasion. You will be glad you did and Pauline, Kieran and the team will be delighted to welcome you.
EM welcomes news, views, articles, letters, photos and feedback on any topic. All submitted articles should preferably be e-mailed.

Letters to the Editor
PLEASE PASS on my compliments to your staff Joe Roche, John Healy, Jason Cronin and Ger Sweeney who did a first class job, on a day that was less than kind, weatherwise, were most cooperative and helpful and complied with our company safety systems in a cheerful manner. They are all a credit to the ESB.
I would also like to say a particular thank you to John his assistance over the course of several meetings.
Best regards

West Durham and Devon wind farm acquisition
ESB WIND DEVELOPMENT signed contracts in June for the major works on the Fullabrook windfarm in Devon in Southwest England. The project will be a 66MW windfarm and will be completed in late 2011.
As part of the renewables strategy the company is investing in wind energy projects in the UK and has acquired the 24MW operating West Durham wind farm, the 66MW consented Fullabrook wind farm and the 34.5MW consented Mynydd y Betws wind farm in South Wales.
Major construction on Fullabrook is scheduled to start just after the summer tourist season and the windfarm will be operational in the second half of 2011. Contracts signed in June were for supply of turbines (Vestas) and the electrical balance-of-plant works (Gaeltec-KTL).
