I understand that the ESB pumped storage hydro project, which is under construction at Turlough Hill, County Wicklow, is expected to be completed in 1973-74. While this is not a source of energy it enables power generated by traditional means to be stored for use at times of peak demands. The board also have tentative plans for the commissioning of a nuclear station in the late 1970s.
