2No. 110kV Substation
The proposed 2No. 110kV electrical substations with customer and EirGrid compounds and 110kV grid connections will consist of:
- Internal section of access road to the sub-station buildings, compounds, parking, electrical apparatus, plant and equipment; overhead and underground electrical and communications cabling;
- 2No. IPP buildings (modular steel construction) measuring ca. 18.5m x ca. 5.5m x ca. 4.9m (height), 2No. Power Transformers, 4No. House Transformers (House TX), parking, compound and associated works;
- 1No. EirGrid control building (masonry construction) measuring ca. 25.0m x ca.18.0m x ca. 8.8m (height), parking, compound and associated works;
- Electrical apparatus, plant and equipment; overhead and underground electrical and communications cabling and associated works;
- 2No. interface kiosks;
- Fencing, gates, 9No. lightning masts and 12No. lamp standards; and
- all associated works.
The proposed underground cabling (110 kV) and ducting will extend from the proposed substation site to the existing Louth (Monvallet) 275 kV ESB substation site boundary on the opposite side of the L5141 local road.
The Proposed Development is in lieu of the 2No. 37kV sub-stations permitted under planning permission ref:21/631.
A Natura Impact Statement will accompany the planning application. The permission is being sought for 10 years.
