Development description

In accordance with section 37e of the planning and development act 2000 (as amended) kilshane energy ltd, gives notice of its intention to make an application for permission/approval to an bord pleanála in relation to the proposed development described below. The site is located at kilshane, finglas, dublin 11 and comprises an area of c. 14.42 hectares. The site is located to the south of kilshane road and the site of a permitted peaking power generation station permitted under fcc reg. Ref. : fw22a/0204 and abp ref. : 317480-23. The site is to the west of the m2 motorway, to the north of roadstone huntstown quarry, and to the east of agricultural lands and northwest logistics park. The proposed development involves the construction of a peaking power generation station comprising two open cycle gas-fired turbines (ocgt), each with a capacity of 300 mw (600 mw in total), along with backup fuel storage, supporting structures, and services. The development is divided into two distinct areas, comprising an energy generation compound and an ancillary compound. The energy generation compound will house two open cycle gas turbine (ocgt) sets and associated flues, with a maximum height of 44m. To the west of the turbine sets two air insulated substations (ais) compounds are proposed to house transformers and electrical equipment within fenced compounds (with a fence height of 3m, along with lightening protection masts 18m in height). Between the turbine sets it is proposed to provide a single storey peecc (power, electrical, and electronic control centre), with a gross floor area (gfa) of 72 sq. M. And an overall height of c. 2.7m. A cems (continuous emissions modelling shelter) is proposed to the southeast of the peecc, with a gfa of 13 sq. M. And an overall height of 2.7m. To the west of the turbine sets, 6 no. Fan cooler systems are proposed, each with an overall height of 4m. The energy generation compound will be bound to its northern and part of its eastern boundary by acoustic fencing c. 12m in height. The ancillary compound, located to the west of the energy generation compound, will accommodate a backup fuel tank (with height of 16.2m), a demineralised water tank (with a height of 16.2m), a raw / fire water tank (with a height of 15.3m), a single storey fire pump house building (with a gfa of 34 sq. M. And an overall height of 2.7m). 2 no. Demineralised water treatment trailers (with an internal area of 82 sq. M. And an overall height of c. 4m) will be accommodated to the southeast of the ancillary compound. The development includes access arrangements (connecting with the permitted development permitted under fcc reg. Ref. : fw22a/0204 and abp ref. : 317480-23 to the north), surface treatments, services, landscaping, attenuation areas, internal circulation roads, and all associated and ancillary works. An epa-industrial emissions directive (ie) licence will be applied for to facilitate the operation of the proposed development. An environmental impact assessment report (‘eiar’) will be submitted with the application. Abp ref: abp-321017-24 www. Kilshanegenerationsid. Com
