SSE green lights new €300m power station in Meath
Energy firm SSE has given the green light to plans for a €300m power station at Platin in Co Meath. Platin Power Station will respond to periods of high demand in the Leinster region, providing back-up power to increasing amounts of renewable energy on the system, and will be switched on and off as demand peaks. "Delivery of Platin Power Station represents a total capital investment of up to €300m and follows SSE's decision, in February 2025, to progress Tarbert Next Generation Power Station in Co. Kerry to construction," a statement from SSE said. SSE's site in Tarbert in Kerry is being upgraded into a next generation power station. The new station to be built in Meath will provide back-up power during peak demand. Limerick-headquartered Atlantic Projects Company (APC) has been confirmed as lead partner on the project. APC is already working on the Tarbert station in Kerry. Construction activity at Platin is expected to commence this autumn, with planned completion in 2028. The station has planning consent for up to 170MW and will be powered by Siemens Energy SGT-800 turbines. The plant has been designed with the capability to run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), which is a more sustainable biofuel. SSE will also be seeking consent to run the station on natural gas, in addition to HVO, to fully utilise the plant's capability to meet Ireland's energy needs. The turbine technology also has the potential to convert to hydrogen when infrastructure, fuel availability and policy frameworks allow. "This forward-looking approach underscores SSE's commitment to decarbonising its flexible power generation fleet," said a company statement. 'We're pleased to be delivering a new power station at Platin, creating new and enduring jobs in the local area, while providing much needed flexible power generation to support security of supply and Ireland's net zero ambitions," said SSE Thermal managing director Finlay McCutcheon. 'With two major investment decisions taken so far in 2025, totalling up to €600m, SSE is clear in its commitment to investing right across the energy system in Ireland." SSE Thermal is already working with Siemens Energy on a multi-million-pound co-investment to deliver gas turbine technology capable of running on 100% hydrogen by 2030.

Eaton and Siemens Energy collaborate to develop streamlined data centre construction
Sustainability Eaton and Siemens Energy collaborate to develop streamlined data centre construction By The collaboration will enable the construction of data centres and associated onsite power generation systems Eaton and Siemens Energy have collaborated to develop a streamlined approach to constructing data centres equipped with integrated onsite power generation. This initiative aims to address pressing market demands by providing reliable grid-independent energy sources and standardised modular systems, thereby expediting the construction and deployment of data centres. The collaboration will allow the simultaneous construction of data centres and associated onsite power generation systems with grid connection, and the integration of renewable energy sources to meet regional regulatory requirements, if necessary. This will empower data centre owners and developers with new choices to build and operate new data centres. Cyrille Brisson, Global Segment Leader, Data Centers, Eaton said, 'Our approach of letting customers pick the right balance of energy sources is very flexible and construction to start-up time is swift with options to reduce emissions in both the short and long term. Crucially, our approach offers data centre owners and developers the opportunity to build capacity and bring it online fast in any location where they have land available that is close to gas, water and fiber.' Andreas Pistauer, Global Head of Sales, Siemens Energy's Gas Services Business Area added, 'We offer hyperscalers, co-locators and investors a unique package, enabling them to reduce the time-to-market by up to two years in many places which leads to significant revenue gains. Our power plant design is built with redundancy, eliminating the need for backup diesel generators, and reducing CO 2 emissions by about 50%.' Siemens Energy's modular and scalable power plant concept is designed to meet the unique requirements of data centre operators. The standard configuration generates 500MW of electricity using highly efficient SGT-800 gas turbines. It also incorporates redundancy and additional battery storage systems to ensure maximum reliability. The modular design allows for easy scaling up and down of the plant's size. In the future, the plant can operate in a carbon-neutral manner if hydrogen is available and part of the data center's sustainability strategy. Additionally, the Siemens Energy concept includes an optional emission-free clean air grid connection that can be installed during construction or as a retrofit. This feature enables data centres to provide grid services. Eaton will offer customers electrical equipment, including medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchgear, UPS, busways, structural support, racks, and containment systems. Additionally, they will provide engineering services and software offerings to safeguard and facilitate the transfer of IT loads from the medium-voltage grid to the chip level. This solution will help data centres to adopt skidded and modular designs, accelerating their construction and commissioning processes, the statement explained.
