Listowel to be linked to network of piped natural gas in €20m project

Kerry is to be linked to the natural gas network as the pipeline is extended from Foynes in Co Limerick to Listowel in a €20m project.

The project has been approved by the Commission for Energy Regulation.

Kerry Ingredients, the Kerry Group flagship dairy plant which is based in Listowel, has been engaged as ‘an anchor load’ , ensuring it is commercially feasible for gas to be delivered to the greater Listowel area and within the town, according to Denis O’Sullivan, head of commercial with Gas Networks Ireland.
