Connection to the existing gas Above Ground Installation (AGI); 4. Connection to the National Grid via the existing 220kV Poolbeg Substation; and 5. All associated works to facilitate the development (e.g. temporary construction compound, perimeter fencing, blast and baffle walls, above-ground pipe racks, underground cables, a new lighting arrangement, lightning and telecommunication masts, parking and surface water drainage network including a new stormwater outfall. All works will take place within the grounds of the ESB Poolbeg Generating station complex. The development consists of an activity for which an Industrial Emissions Licence is required. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) which compiles with the European Union (Planning and Development) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2018 (S.I 296 of 2018 and a Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application.
