Platin Power Station

SSE Thermal’s Platin Power Station in County Meath will provide approximately 180MW of generation capacity to the grid. 

The Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) Generating Plant, which began construction in June 2026, will help address capacity constraints, secure Ireland’s energy needs, and facilitate further renewable generation on the electricity system by providing flexible back-up power and critical system services. 
 
The power station will be able to run on natural gas or sustainable biofuels, with the potential to convert to hydrogen in the future. 
 
The site is to the west of the M1, in the townland of Platin, Caulstown, Carranstown and Duleek, County Meath.
