Vol. 400 No. 9

Written Answers. - Allenwood (Kildare) Power Station.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

53 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Energy whether he sees a role for the Allenwood power station, County Kildare, in the future, having regard to national energy needs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Allenwood generating station is now almost 40 years old and is well past its projected useful lifespan. As such it is unlikely to play any significant role in meeting the country's long-term energy needs.
