Work on gas extension to begin in autumn
Work on the Coolkeeragh Power Station is to begin this autumn, it has been confirmed.
Around 600 jobs will be created when work on the £150 million gas pipeline development to the northwest begins. It is being built in order to facilitate natural gas-generated electricity.
Around 50 workers will initially be involved in site clearance for the station which is a joint venture between Coolkeeragh Power and EST International Investments.
One of the reasons behind the decision for the investment was evidence that the existing station was coming to the end of its life and that a switch to gas was needed to make any new station viable.
