Underlining the strategic importance of the planning application, Mott McDonald said the OCGT plant was “an important economic and social infrastructure project... and will ensure the energy supply is reliable”.
The scheme will facilitate greater supply of renewable energy and provide “a fast-acting backup reserve to the system operator during difficult operational periods”, according to the documents.
Gas powered ? Ah here now. The greens would want to make their mind up. Either they want fossil fuels or they don’t and stop using the excuse that they do to fleece the general public.
Why spend this money on a fossil fuel plant when you can build another EFW plant for less? Short-sighted 'emergency' BS.
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
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.
