Full replacement of the existing underground electricity cable (UGC) serving the Kippure Transmitter with a new UGC. The new UGC will commence at the existing ESB 10kV poleset and will run along margin of the R115 over a distance of c.150m before proceeding north along the existing access road leading from the Kippure site entrance up to the Kippure Transmitter over a distance of c.3.4km. The proposed works will involve the installation of a UGC with associated joint bays and all ancillary works. It is intended to retire the existing UGC and leave it in-situ. A natura impact statement (NIS) has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application.
