ESB Networks has over 3,000 employees all over the country and builds and runs the medium and low voltage electricity systems, including power stations, overhead lines, poles, and underground cables. Its work is funded by 'use of system' charges billed to every customer by their electricity suppliers, checked by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU). It operates, installs, maintains, and reads meters for its customer base; over 1.9m smart meters are now remotely read daily, and standard meters are read up to four times a year.
