Moneypoint power station

Ireland's Largest Electricity based power Station

Moneypoint power station is Ireland's largest electricity generation station and its only coal-fired power station. Commissioned between 1985 and 1987, it is located on the River Shannon, near Kilrush in County Clare, and was constructed at a cost of more than £700m. The station operates largely on coal, making it both unique in the context of Irish electricity production and for a while was the country's single largest emitter of greenhouse gases. At its peak, it was capable of meeting around 25% of customer demand across the country. Coal's share of the electricity fuel mix in Ireland in 2022 was 11.6%.
