North Mayo in running for €500m energy plan
By Keith Bourke

MAYO County Council has lent its support to a €500m renewable energy storage reservoir for north Mayo.

The project at Glinsk, near Belderrig, could export 10 terawatt hours of "clean power" to the UK, providing around two per cent of Britain’s electricity requirement by 2016.

The project is being developed by Organic Power Ltd from Skibbereen in Co Cork and it is proposed that the energy storage hub will be located on Glinsk Mountain. Organic Power Ltd’s managing director Maurice McCarthy says its construction will create 200 jobs over three years. Once completed it is expected that around 10 people will be employed full-time at the site.

The full story is available in our print and digital editions.
