Description
Construction of a 400 MW state-of-the-art combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant replacing an existing 40-year old oil-fired station on the same site at Coolkeeragh, Northern Ireland. The new plant will be fired by natural gas and will make full use of the existing infrastructure.
Objectifs
The CCGT technology will mean lower emissions, lower operating costs, and better reliability for Northern Ireland customers. The construction of the plant will enhance regional development.

Aspects environnementaux
The project falls under Annex 1 of EU Directive 97/11/EC. An EIA procedure has been followed, including formal public consultation. After the procedures had been completed, the Department of Environment granted full planning permission in July 2001, Government consent to construct and operate was awarded August 2001 and the Industrial Pollution Control authorisation was issued in November 2001. The switch from heavy fuel oil in the existing Coolkeeragh plant to natural gas in the New Coolkeeragh plant and efficient, low-emission combustion equipment will result in relatively low specific emissions to the atmosphere.
Passation des marchés
The project falls under the EU Procurement Directive 93/38/EC and the main contract for equipment and civil works was published appropriately in the OJEC in December 2000.
