    I think it is like the roads. Until the estate is officially handed over to the local authority it is up to the developer to put in the infrastructure.

    As far as I know the ESB provide wiring up to the public lighting minipillar, and anything after that is the responsibility of the local council.

    It sounds like the developer is still in charge of the estate and has either run out of money to repair a fault or to pay the electricity bill.
