Edenderry Power Station
Edenderry Power Station is a large peat and biomass-fired power station at the Cushaling river near Edenderry, in the Republic of Ireland. The station is capable of generating up to 120 MWe of power,[1] It has been owned by Bord na Móna since 2006 and is part of the Powergen Division. It was purchased from E.ON in December 2005. Trials of co-fuelling the plant with biomass commenced in 2007 and were successful. As of 2020, the plant is co-fired with about 62% biomass (delivered by around 60 heavy goods vehicles per day), of which 336,000 energy tonnes (or 80%) is Irish. The station has a target of 100% biomass by 2023. The ash is sent by rail and deposited at the adjacent Cloncreen bog near Clonbullogue.[2]
