Plans for power plant go to Bord Pleanála

A proposal by Shannon LNG for a heat and power electricity-generating plant to serve the country’s first liquefied natural gas terminal on the Shannon Estuary has been submitted to An Bord Pleanála.

The plant adjacent to the LNG plant at Ralapane, Ballylongord, aims to sell electricity to the national grid and serve the planned liquefied gas plant.

The application is on foot of a recent ruling by the planning appeals board that the plant will be of strategic importance to the State.
