> **Caveat:** the ESB substation capacities **do not include** contracted or bid capacity and so underestimate availability. If included, all zones other than Dun Laoghaire Rathdown would likely be close to zero.

**Notes**:

- `SLR` stands for [Special Load Reading](https://www.esbnetworks.ie/publications) which are a coincident set of measurements of simultaneous load for all distribution substations taken each year on a single day by the ESB in both summer and winter.

- In most zones `Demand Available + SLR Load` is not equal to `Installed Capacity`, on average this sum is around 60% of installed capacity for each substation.
