List of power stations in the Republic of Ireland

The following page lists all of the power stations operating in the Republic of Ireland.

Power plants

The table below gives a detailed overview of the fossil-fuel based power plants operating in Ireland in 2017. The data is publicly available and updated annually by the Irish Transmission System Operator (TSO), EirGrid, in its Generation Adequacy Report.^[1] In total there was 6609 MW of power plants available in 2017.
