What’s proposed

development from townland of Marshmeadows, New Ross, Co. Wexford to townland of Raheen, Rosbercon, Co. Kilkenny. The project passes under the River Barrow across the county boundaries of Wexford and Kilkenny. The development consists of (1) Medium Voltage (MV) electricity system improvement by the installation of a new 20kV electricity underground cable (UGC) by means horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under the River Barrow to connect the Lake Region circuit at Marshmeadows, County Wexford to the Beechgrove circuit at Raheen, Rosbercon, County Kilkenny. From end to end the UGC measures approximately 580m. The majority of the circuit, approximately 365m will be installed by HDD under the River Barrow. The remainder of the circuit, approximately 215m will be a UGC installed by traditional trenching and ducting means. Approximately 355m of this UGC will be installed within County Wexford and the remaining 225m will be installed within County Kilkenny. (2) A second "spare" duct will be installed within the HDD to enable a second circuit to be installed at a future date to further enhance and future proof the network. (3) Permission is sought for all associated works including temporary works required. Planning permission is sought for a ten (10)year period. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) has been prepared and will be submitted to the planning authority with the application
