The work to help achieve climate targets will cost individual customers about £10 more each year.
NIE Networks is to invest over £3bn in Northern Ireland's electricity network over the next 10 years in order to facilitate climate change targets.
NIE Networks said the investment would help its 910,000 customers connect to low-carbon technologies like electric cars, solar panels and heat pumps.NIE Networks owns the network of lines, poles and substations that takes electricity from power stations to homes and businesses.
The Centre of Advanced Sustainable Energy said Northern Ireland's targets for dealing with climate change were "ambitious" but could not be met without major investment in energy infrastructure.
