ESB lodges plans for €500m emergency Dublin power plantESB has lodged plans with Dublin City Council for a €500 million emergency 299MW gas-fired power station beside the Dublin Bay Power Plant at Ringsend as part of a Government-backed effort to avoid energy blackouts in the capital. Just has to wend its way through a morass of Council bureaucracy, run the gauntlet of protests and local gombeen planning objections and spend like 3 years in Judicial Review. Should be good to go by roughly 2031. Meanwhile in Offaly... A perfectly functional station to be demolished that could have gas diverted from a nearby pipeline. €200 million spent on the station just over 20 years ago, pure madness Why spend this money on a fossil fuel plant when you can build another EFW plant for less? Short-sighted 'emergency' BS.
