Why closing coal and peat power stations doesn’t help Ireland meet CO2 reduction targets Published on April 26, 2016 April 26, 2016 • 71 Likes • 18 Comments US-based NGOs call on Ireland to close peat-powered stations by 2020. Source: Greennews.ie. This is premised on leaving peat by 2030 and the Government has been criticised for the decision to close the two power stations much earlier. The peat to fuel the power station would be extracted from the Gishoma marshes, close to where the power station is located. For a start, the power stations at Shannonbridge, in west Offaly, and Lough Ree are set to see the public service obligation, PSO, expire on 31 December next. I contacted the Department about this, but I am still awaiting a reply. Senior Ministers will visit the midlands on Monday to meet people affected by last week’s decision by the ESB to close two peat-burning power stations. The licences are also due to end in December. Peat Energy Company, a private Rwandan peat mining and supply company, contracted with EWSA to supply the raw material.

The closure of the West Offaly Power and Lough Ree Power peat-fired stations was confirmed in a statement by the ESB. “The intention had been that there would have been a phased withdrawal from peat that would see it wind down over a longer period, but what we need is to make sure that we have long-term sustainable employment,” he said. Last year the ESB submitted an application to An Bord Pleanála last year seeking planning permission to transition West Offaly Power from peat to biomass over a number of years starting in 2020.

Over 30 conservation and environmental groups in the US have voiced concern that plans for large-scale biomass burning at Ireland’s peat power stations are a serious threat to southern US forests.
