Poolbeg Generating Station

The Poolbeg Power Station is a major power generation facility in Dublin Bay, owned and operated by the Electric Supply Board. The historic Station 1, which originally ran on oil, was decommissioned in 2010, though its distinctive smokestacks are set to be preserved as a city landmark. Station 2, which is still active, uses modern gas turbines in combination with a steam turbine to generate electricity. You'll notice the site as a striking industrial landmark in the bay, reflecting the technological evolution of Dublin's energy supply and leaving a memorable impression with its architectural remnants.
