Description:
GKinetic Energy Ltd is retained by Limerick City and County Council to set up a demonstrator project in the River Shannon to demonstrate the generation of sufficient renewable energy to create a PEB in the Georgian Innovation District in the city. In summary this will involve a demonstrator trial by placing three 12kW hydrokinetic turbines in the River Shannon at Thomond Weir to determine the amount of renewable energy that can be generated using river flows and tidal flows. As part of the EU CityXChange Programme it is hoped to create a Positive Energy Block in the city where the block, which consists of 3 buildings or more, has the capacity to annually produce more energy than it consumes.
Location:
County Limerick.
A statutory period of public consultation may be required and if so, a public notice will be published at the appropriate time with full details of the consultation process
