Teresa has made the decision, after 43 years of dedicated service, to retire from ESB and enjoy some well earned down-time. Teresa officially hung up her test lamps and sealing pliers on August 15th.
Teresa started her apprenticeship in 1979 and became the first woman in ESB to qualify as an electrician. This is a huge personal achievement for Teresa and an important milestone for ESB.
After a short break post completion of her apprenticeship Teresa returned to ESB to work in Moneypoint, after 2 years Teresa moved to the Ballina Area and spent 2 years there before a big money transfer lured her to Castlebar, where Teresa spent the remainder of her career before completing a short and fruitful stint in Smart Metering.
Teresa would like to invite her friends and colleagues (past and present) to a function to celebrate her retirement. Time and Date: September 29th @7pm
Venue: Upstairs in John McHale’s Bar, CastlebarAnnouncements

Culture Night is coming to ESB this Friday!
In conjunction with Culture Night Dublin, the photographic exhibition, Turbines Through Time, will take you on a visual journey beginning in the 1920s with ESB’s ambitious vision to harness the power of water to electrify the fledgling Irish State.
Hosted in F27’s reception area, the exhibition will showcase the monumental infrastructure which has enabled the ESB to play a transformative role in the provision of renewable electricity, beginning with the construction of the Ardnacrusha hydro-station almost a century ago.
Carefully curated images will highlight how the ESB continues through its Driven to Make a Difference: Net Zero by 2040 strategy, to champion the historic legacy of Ardnacrusha by embracing the next generation of renewables; solar power, onshore and offshore wind projects.
Visitors can enjoy complimentary barista coffee and pastries served from the iconic ESB Volkswagen van or try their hand at generating their own kinetic energy with a handmade paper windmill.
The event will be taking place in foyer of the ESB’s headquarters at 27 Fitzwilliam Street from 4pm to 8pm this Friday, 22nd September. Don’t miss out!
