the development will consist of the redevelopment of the existing Lanesboro 110kV AIS substation with a new 110 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation. The 110 kV GIS substation redevelopment will comprise of the following elements: (i) A110 kV GIS substation contained within a building with a gross floor area of approximately 1,470m2 (54m x 15m) and a height of 15m. Associated development within the footprint of the GIS substation development will include: 6 no. lightning rods of approximately 3m in height located on the parapet of the GIS Building: a Distribution System Operator (DSO) compound (approximately 30m2); an internal circulation road of approximately 245m in length and 5m in width, 12 no. car parking spaces; underground stormwater attenuation tank; underground foul wastewater pumping station and all associated site development and landscaping works. The substation will be bounded by a palisade fence 2.6m in height and bounded with a property fence 1.4m in height; (ii) The modification of 8 no. existing 110 kV underground circuits which will be re-routed into the new 110 kV GIS substation: Sliabh Bawn-Lanesboro underground circuit, Cloon-Lanesboro underground circuit, Athlone-Lanesboro underground circuit, Richmond 1-Lanesboro underground circuit, Richmond 2-Lanesboro underground circuit, Lough Ree Power T104-Lanesboro underground circuit, T141-Lanesboro underground circuit and Mullingar-Lanesboro underground circuit. Associated development includes the construction of 3 no. underground joint bays; 1 no. gantry tower (footpring of 30.2m2 and a height of 12.5m); 1 no. Line Cable Interface Mast (footprint of 123m2 and the height of 20.7m) and all associated and ancillary transmission infrastructure. (iii) The construction of a Landowner access road of approximately 91m in lenghth and 6m in width |

development at the 13.1 Ha site known as 'Lough Ree Power (LRP) Station' located in Lanesborough (Lanesboro), in the townlands of Aghamore and Lanesborough, Eircode N37E180; in County Longford. The development will consist of the demolition of the existing LRP station (as approved under Longford County Council reg.ref 01/115 ' An Board Pleanala Ref. PL14.125540 and all subsequent permissions);and the development and operation of electricity grid services - namely a battery energy storage system (BESS) and a Synchronous Condenser (Sync Con). The proposed development comprises two distinct phases of activity - the initial demolition and site reinstatement (Phase 1); following by construction and operation of the new BESS and Sync Con (phase 2). Phase 1 comprises the demolition of existing site structures (with a total footprint of c. 11.195sq.m. and a total gross floor area of c. 20,000 sq.m) including the former LRP station (boiler house, turbine house, bag filter house and associated 80 m high stack); the intermediate peat storage building and associated fuel management system; and ancillary buildings including, electrical building, tippler building and associated control room and office, the screening building, lorry uploading building, water treatment plant building, offices building, laboratory building, workshop and maintenance buildings, oil pumphouse, electrics rooms, railway/locomotive service building, cooling water pump house and sewage/foul water treatment facility. All buildings and structures (including storage tanks and vessels) will be demolished to ground level, with below ground voids filled. Existing hard standing surfac3es (e.g. building ground floor concrete slabs, tarmacadam surfaces, concrete footpaths and road kerbs) will remain in site; and the site will be reinstated and secured with boundary gates and fences, etc. Associated with the demolition activity there will be on-site crushing of material using mobile machinery for the purposed of disposal and/or material re-use. Phase 2 comprises the proposed development of the BESS, Sync Con; and all associated development (Full description scanned/attached) |
