Uncertainty over 180 jobs as ESB agrees to sell two power stations
The company said yesterday that it has reached agreement to sell the two assets — at Tarbert in Co Kerry and Great Island in Co Wexford — to Spanish energy company, Endesa for an undisclosed sum, believed to be in the region of €450 million.
While the ESB said the deal should be formally concluded before the end of the year, there is uncertainty over whether or not the 180 or so people employed across the two sites assets will remain in their current posts.
