The ESB is considering an expansion of oil storage facilities at Moneypoint Power Station in West Clare.
While the plant already has the capacity to hold some oil reserves, The Irish Independent reports that the ESB has issued a notice stating that these could be greatly expanded
The company reportedly has plans to provide capacity for 26 million litres of oil across Moneypoint and at a gas fired station in Corby in England.
