Proposal description

Site clearance works including the removal of existing trees and fencing and the construction of a microgrid energy centre comprising 8 no. gas powered generator units, 8 no. transformers, a storage container, 2 no. urea tanks, waste oil and clean oil storage tanks, galvanised steel maintenance platforms and associated works. The development will include 8 no. generator exhaust flues combined into 4 no. exhaust stacks together with associated lightning rods, extending to a maximum height of approx. 21.8 m. An LV & MV switchgear building with a sedum green roof is proposed to the south of the site together with a gas skid within the northwestern portion of the site. The development will include all associated site service connections, CCTV, external lighting, boundary treatments including security fencing, retaining walls, the relocation of an existing access gate, and all associated site development works. The proposed microgrid energy centre will provide power to the adjacent DUB04 Facility, to the east of the site, for an interim period until such a time as an enduring connection to the electricity grid is available - after which the facility will operate as an Autoproducer (as defined in the Commission for Regulation of Utilities Decision CRU2025236).
