1 1 Facility Information Summary AER Reporting Year Licence Register Number 2013 P Name of site ESB Poolbeg Generating Station Site Location Pigeon House Road, Ringsend, Dublin 4 NACE Code 3511 Class The operation of combustion installations with a rated Class/Classes of Activity thermal input to or greater than 50MW National Grid Reference (6E, 6 N) E, N A description of the activities/processes at the site for the reporting year. This should include information such as production increases or decreases on site, any infrastructural changes, environmental performance which was measured during the reporting year and an overview of compliance with your licence listing all exceedances of licence limits (where applicable) and what they relate to e.g. air, water, noise. Poolbeg Generating Station currently has a total electricity generating capacity of 470MW from a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) generating unit. The CCGT plant is made up of two gas turbines of 155 MWe each and a steam turbine of 170 MWe. The station is fired on natural gas from the national gas network and gas oil is stored as a secondary fuel which is normally only used for testing purposes and in times of grid system emergency. On 31st March 2010, 510 MW of Thermal Generating Units ceased to operate. The CCGT will continue to operate into the future on the Poolbeg site. Summary of Environmental Performance: Poolbeg maintains a certified Environmental Management System which is audited biannually, two successful audits took place in There were no complaints or non compliances with the licence in There was one incident in July due to a faulty CEMs system component whihc led to unreliable NOx readings. Poolbeg also reports on CO2 emissions produced annually as per GHG requirements - CO2 emissions for 2013 were 1,026,642 tonnes vs 1,024,130 in Run hours for 2013 were vs total run hours in Declaration: All the data and information presented in this report has been checked and certified as being accurate. The quality of the information is assured to meet licence requirements. Suzanne Moran 31/03/2014 Signature Group/Facility manager (or nominated, suitably qualified and experienced deputy) Date
