Cashla Peaker Plant

Bord Gáis Energy is one of Ireland’s leading energy companies, providing gas, electricity and home services to Irish families and businesses for almost 50 years. We want to lead the energy transition in Ireland and have committed to achieving net zero by 2040, and to helping our customers to get to net zero by 2050. 

To support the transition, Bord Gáis Energy is investing in flexible gas generation, which will help balance the grid and support the growth of renewable energy. We are currently developing two 100MW flexible gas peaking plants in Athlone and Dublin, and we are building on a heritage of innovation by proposing a new gas-powered peaker plant at a location west of Athenry, County Galway, known as the Cashla Peaker Plant. This plant will provide flexible electricity generation, which is recognised as a key part of the energy transition to net zero and energy security.
