It's on the site of an old lead and zinc mine.

They didn't find any silver there, I'm told.

This sits about 10 kilometres south of Neenah.

That is correct.

Yes.

If any of your listeners are familiar with Turlock Hill in Wicklow, that has now been in operation circa 50 years.

Indeed, indeed.

This is old proven technology that is very safe and absolutely low carbon.

And very, very renewable.

A good one indeed, Joe.

We are going through the development cycle on that project at the moment.

It's been designated an EU project of common interest.

We expect construction to start roughly in 2027, possibly 28.

And it's a four year construction period with a total build cost of about 600 or 700 million euro.

So it's 300 megawatts.

So if it was running at full throttle, it would be the equivalent of powering circa 300,000 homes.

However, it is it does act as a battery generator.

So it really serves a purpose of smoothening out the demand curve and price spikes in the energy system.

We sell it into the grid as we've got it.

But as our grid becomes more dependent and reliable on renewables, it needs assets added.
