Free State Plans Big Power Plant on River Shannon
Dublin reports Ireland’s Free State plans a major Shannon power project costing about 26 million dollars in inception form, with total cost potentially over 35 million as demand grows. The scheme, approved by parliament but criticized for Siemens Schuckert bidding, will be funded by loans and run for up to three years with 3.75 million dollars yearly cap. Over 3,000 workers will be employed, engineers from Germany and Ireland will oversee 106 miles of embankments, and 5.9 million cubic meters of earth will be moved as 150 million units of electricity are projected at roughly 0.523 pence per unit. Transmission lines to Cork and Dublin will operate at 100,000 volts on 65-foot steel masts.
