The Electricity Supply Board (Irish: Bord Soláthair an Leictreachais; sometimes called ESB Ireland to differentiate it from US utilities), known for short as the ESB, is a state owned (95%) electricity company in Ireland. While historically a monopoly, the ESB now operates as a commercial semi-state concern in a liberalised and competitive market. It is a statutory corporation whose members are appointed by the Government.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.””
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
