Company seeks to build €85m green power plant

A COMPANY seeking to build an €85 million power plant which could create hundreds of jobs will pitch its plans to public representatives in Clare this week.

The Carbon Sole Group is proposing to construct a 60-70MWh combined heat and power plant (CHP) in Shannon using bio-energy and producing green energy, based on a Swedish model.

The company has been looking at suitable locations for carbon-free energy generation plants along the Atlantic coast in proximity to forested regions for the past three years.
