• A 110 kV Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS) tail-fed substation compound, consisting of:
• A single storey 110kV AIS substation building (total floor area comprising circa 450m2 , height approximately 6.3m).
• Medium voltage (MV) switchgear container and switchboard total floor area comprising circa 60m2
• 110kV grid transformer and 2no. house transformers within bunded enclosures (approximately 6m high).
• Diversion of existing 38kV overhead line (OHL).
• 60MV transformer positioned within bunded enclosures (height approximately 6m).
• A shunt filter.
• Diesel generator & diesel tank.
• Twelve lightning protection masts (height approximately 20m).
• 6m high perimeter palisade fencing and post and rail (1.4m high) fencing.
• Internal separation fencing (2.6m high).
• Grid Connection consisting of:
• A 13.3 km underground 110kV cable connection to Finglas Substation to facilitate connection to national grid.
• Approximately 20 no. joint bays primarily within public roadways.
• Trenchless installation in the form of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will be used at the following locations:
• Broadmeadow River Bridge before the junction of the R122 and R125.
• Ward River Bridge on R122.
• Under the N2 prior to entering Finglas Substation.

In addition to the above, the Proposed Development will include:
